An off-duty Harris County sheriff's deputy said Friday that he was afraid for his life when he fatally shot a suspected shoplifter in a Walmart parking lot.You know what this is, really? This is summary execution for disobedience. Cops don't like it when you disobey like that. Of course in order to justify it they always claim fear for their life, but I don't buy it. He was unhurt. If his life had really been in jeopardy, he'd have suffered some injuries, no?
Deputy Louis Campbell was working an extra security job at the store in the 10400 block of the North Freeway about 9:45 p.m. Thursday when he fired the shot that killed 27-year-old Shelly Frey.
Prior to the shooting, a Walmart employee told Campbell that a group of women, including Frey, were stuffing store merchandise into their bags. They paid for a few small items but then tried to leave without paying for the rest, Harris County sheriff's deputies said.
Campbell confronted the women in the doorway and ordered them to stop. They tried to force their way past him. One of the women, later identified as Frey, hit the deputy and ran.
Campbell followed them into the parking lot, where the shoplifting suspects climbed into a waiting car. Campbell opened the car door and ordered Frey to get out. But she refused, officials said.
Andrews began to drive away while the deputy was standing between the open door and the driver's seat.
"She threw it in reverse and tried to run over the deputy," said Thomas Gilliland, a Harris County sheriff's spokesman. Campbell later told investigators he feared for his safety and opened fire. The car sped away.

Court documents, meantime, reveal that Shelly Frey wasn’t even supposed to be at a Walmart. Earlier this year she pleaded guilty to stealing shirts and a package of meat, and agreed to avoid Walmart stores as part of a plea agreement.

From what's in the news, so far, it's hard to tell what happened. The deputy says that he was between the vehicle door and the driver when she put the car in reverse and he shot her. Yet this is nothing in any report I've read about him being injured in any way. That doesn't sound right.
Orloon's reading of the law is that a person who violates terms of a plea agreement should lose their right to breathe?--maybe you should consider sitting in the chair next to Orly Taitz, Matt Staver or Larry Klayman the next time they're losing a case. Y'know, Orloon, I will tire of calling you a fucking moron at the point where you stop being "exhibit 'A'" for dumbfuckery.
Clearly, she was not proficient at shoplifting, engaged in irresponsible behavior, and forgot that if you do stupid shit repeatedly, it will come back to bite you in the ass.
DeleteNow, old man, what would you say if this had been a gun owner you stoopid old pygmy-brained ugly coot.
I looked up dumbfuckery in the dictionary and I'll be damned if it didn't show your fucking ugly cara de guante.

ReplyDeleteif she wasnt a theif she wouldnt have had a gun pointed at her. her death deserved
ReplyDeleteOh, dear, Orloon is upset.
ReplyDeleteI would clutch my pearls if I had any.
"Clearly, she was not proficient at shoplifting, engaged in irresponsible behavior, and forgot that if you do stupid shit repeatedly, it will come back to bite you in the ass."
and having one's ass bitten is the same as being shot in the neck? Nice try, Orloony.
"Now, old man, what would you say if this had been a gun owner you stoopid old pygmy-brained ugly coot."
Since your question is:
A.) A non-sequitir
and
4.) Your question is poorly framed and incomplete, sortalike your brain, dood.
Work on learning on how to properly ask a question, then we'll worry about whether it has anything to do with the subject currently under discussion;
OR, continue being a clueless fuck.
Democommie, you criticizing someone else for non sequiturs and poorly framed, incompetent minds is a fine example of projection. Can we expect comments about bad spelling and using foul language next?
DeleteSeriously, you old retard?
DeleteA.)....
and
4.)....
Gawd, it is just so easy to criticize an idiot.

Mike - how seriously does the officer have to be injured before he is allowed to respond with potentially lethal force to protect his life or other lives?
ReplyDeleteDead is generally sufficient, since that condition has the benefit of being mindless. Control freaks need straight-ticket voters, after all.
DeleteA person does not have to be injured first. There has to be a serious threat, though. In this case obvious there was not as he was unhurt.
