OK Prosecutor Rules Shooting Justified

[falcon]

Unlike their counterparts in some other states, most OK prosecutors quickly dispense with righteous self defense cases. This is our county.

The Comanche County District Attorney has ruled that a Monday morning shooting was justified and no charges will be filed against a homeowner for killing the suspected robber.

District Attorney Fred C. Smith said on Thursday that he has determined that the use of deadly force was justified and no charges will be filed against the owner of the home.

He reviewed the information from police and said, "I didn't find anything that concerned me about the homeowner's actions."

According to police, the homeowner, who was remodeling the house, and Johnson got into a scuffle and, after he felt what he thought was a gun, the homeowner grabbed his own pistol and shot three times. No weapon was recovered from Johnson.

LPD Lt. Larry Lafrance said that investigators believe that Johnson is connected to "several open investigations." Johnson was out on $2,000 bond for an August arrest for knowingly concealing stolen property, according to court records.

The family of the late perp may collect names on a petition for a grand jury: Good luck with that.

It's good to see a scumbag who only knows how to live by stealing get his well earned rewards. More criminals need to come against armed victims and be shown the light, and fed a lead diet. Maybe when enough of them die off, their friends/neighbors who are thinking of going down the same road will see how short their life could be and make better decisions.

I'm glad the homeowner will not be incarcerated for dealing with someone who threatened him on his own land. It's nice to see the prosecutors backing citizens who exercise their legal rights.

Yes and Yes ! More importantly, there is evidence that the vilest breed of politician, a demokrat, can make an objective opinion regarding firearms use. I applaud the D.A. and hope he continues to make sound prosecutorial decisions. Obviously, 'things are different' in Oklahoma.
