Another "Accidental" Shooting

In this case the shooter happened to be an Iraq War veteran, which was part of the reason he was out on bail awaiting sentencing for an extremely vicious assault on a homeless man.


That was a mistake.

A former soldier convicted of beating up a homeless man has been arrested on reckless homicide and weapons charges in a woman's fatal shooting in suburban Cincinnati.

Riley Feller, 25, was arrested late Thursday night in Norwood. Feller was waving a 9mm handgun around when it went off and struck Janice Svajda, 26, of Troy, in the chest at an apartment where Svajda was living with her boyfriend.

This is one area where most of us are in agreement. Violent offenders need to be in jail not out one the street. But one thing we may not all agree upon is that when a violent person is released, their guns need to be confiscated.

You can quote me on that. In a case like this I favor gun confiscation. In other words,it's not sufficient to label a person disqualified to own guns if you don't send the stormtroopers to his house and ensure that he's complying.
