Kathie thank you I will miss him a ton.kenny thomas":2yya818w said:Big loss to the community and the state. Bad thing that after it happened the second trooper didn't make the kill shot on the spot. The shooter doesn't deserve a trial.
I don't want to start a big thing here, but Skyhightree, I'm just asking . . . . . would you rather have had that SOB dead on the spot, with no possible explanation later? Or make him go through the justice system? I know that going through the system is very expensive, but I think it gives more of a feeling of justice to the family than if that guy had done suicide by cop. What do you think about that? I'm curious . . . . in similar situations, some folks wish the guy would have just popped his own head off, and some want him to stand for his actions. Personally, I know it's expensive in terms of LE and prosecutorial resources, but I like to see those people run the guantlet.skyhightree1":2u4guxyi said:Kathie thank you I will miss him a ton.kenny thomas":2u4guxyi said:Big loss to the community and the state.

Kenny I have no clue why the backup troopers did not kill the suspect. it was actually 2 back up there . I would have floored it towards him and shot through windshield or atleast tried to run him over he definately does not deserve a trial he acted a fool in the court room this morning majorly and wants to defend himself but he can't under virginia law. Jo he did have a record for not paying child support and got in trouble for carrying a concealed weapon with no permit and is currently on probation. I think this is a instance where if I were driving by and I saw this happen I would take my .270 out my back window and handle him myself judge jury and executioner right on the spot. I still can't believe it its like bad dream.
