Detroit woman executed for seeking help after car accident

Guy initially said the shooting was an accident. His lawyer now says it was "justified". Which is it?

And the guy still hasn't been arrested.

Watch and see -- this guy gets off, and the cop who shot Jonathan Ferrell gets off, right here in America 2013. Not to mention the michael dunn case.

Black people ready to wave the flag and fight for this country are damn fools.

America and black people reminds of Lucy holding the football for charlie brown. generation after generation gets duped into believing the ball will be there and each generation, the ball gets pulled away

 

2nd Degree Homicide Charge . . . arrest is imminent!!!

The county prosecutor has finally decided to bring charges in the shotgun shooting death of Renisha McBride.

Source ~ MSNBC which will have Renisha McBride's parents and family attorney on Newsnation today at 2:00 est to further discuss the matter.

 

Charged with 2nd degree murder.

Still it shouldn't take a national media firestorm for local prosecutors to do their damn job.

 

Next stop, the acquittal. just ask zimmerman

 

Who you gonna call?

In 1973 I was walking my dog at 8:30 p.m. in Lombard Illinois. She was a Spitz, small dog. It was late autumn, dark outside, cold, and all of a sudden this body leaps from a tree right in front of me. My dog starts barking, I'm thinking it is a person, and it was a chimpanzee. A Big chimpanzee. I ran up to someone's door and knocked frantically. I was still in shock. A man opened the door and I was talking too fast and shook up, my dog is still barking, and I said "A big monkey just jumped out of that tree!" He slammed the door in my face.

Today, we all have cell phones. If we don't, we need to get one. Straight Talk is $25 a month. When they came out I made sure my daughter had one. My son's were already grown and had their own. Now with GPS locators, we can be found, it could save our lives! With a touch of a button we are connected to 911. Stories like this break my heart, and publicizing the fact that there are free cell phones (they will just call 911) available to those who need them, may prevent more stories like this. I've always told my daughter to make sure her vehicle is serviced, and if something happens, lock yourself in the car and call 911, and have them contact me. She was working two jobs and got stopped one night on her way out here (I live in the country), and she locked her doors, called 911 to verify the officer's badge number, and called me. I was there in 10 minutes. The officer wasn't upset, but he did admit that was the first time he had encountered that. We have the technology, we just need to employ it to work for us. That young woman should not have died.

 

Great post!!

A real live 100% chimpanzee really jumped out in front of you??:smt103

That's so crazy.

 

a monkey in Illinois? you bring up a really good point about technology...I wonder if she had a cellphone? maybe the battery died...my son is notorious for letting his battery expire...drives me nuts! sounds like you taught your daughter well...there are a lot of people out there impersonating police these days...

I have been doing a fair amount of reading on the "stand your ground" & "make my day" laws...it looks like the government may be intervening here at some point with state laws...things are getting out of hand with these cases...not everyone that owns a gun has it for the right reasons

 

The underlying problem with these SYG laws is that a gunowner out in public no longer has an obligation to avoid a confrontation.

Theoretically you can engage in a potentially volatile situation, get in a shouting match with a stranger and if they approach you, the laws says if you claim to be in fear of your life, you're allowed to use deadly force to defend yourself.

That's essentially giving idiots a license to kill.

 

This is off topic, but yes, a 100% chimpanzee, and it was big, and probably confused and frightened. People get "exotic" pets, decide they can't handle them, or don't house them correctly, and turn them out (what they can't flush down the commode)thinking they'll figure it out and take care of themselves. *sigh* It was captured several days later and taken to Brookfield Zoo.

 

Gun!!

Exactly!

 

Andreboba - you hit the nail on the proverbial head. And the 'reasonable' person standard as measured by a jury of the shooter's 'peers' will all think any black person is dangerous enough that you should shoot first. Damn.
