Testimony: Elderly man shot 123 times had gun

[Don Gwinn]

Well, that's really, truly not funny.



I don't understand why these idiots are not being charged with murder? If I killed someone, even honestly believing he had a gun, and then put a drop gun in the wrong hand, they'd surely charge me with murder, right?

But then, I'm not a member of The Club.

We had a shooting around here a couple years ago where the guy was shot 23 or 28 times in the head by the SWAT team.

He had killed 4 or 5 people, including a baby, in a week long crime spree. He finally took some hostages in an apartment. They were held for 3 or 4 days before the hostages druged him and escaped, SWAT went in and ended the crime spree.

I'll try to find a link to the story.

The officers blasted the tiny two-room home with 123 bullets, eight of which hit Brown.

Good shooting, guys...



This is complete horsecrap. 123 rounds for a 72 year old man.... :banghead:

Lendringser,

Well said.

Sensationalized reporting? 8 hits to the victim, but the title points out (shot 123 times)?

LostOneToo,
"Tacos"? Nice way to refer to Hispanics.
You should be proud of yourself and you pal.

Don,
I too wonder why they weren't tried for homicide if the gun info is true, but then again most DA's lack the courage to indict.

What DE said.

There is enough fodder for discussion about this, uhm, raid without bringing the ethnicity of the SWAT members into it. And even if ethnicity was an issue, it is still not acceptable to use racial pejoratives on THR.

Do, continue.
