To make you happy, let’s assume she was trying to buy drugs. Therefore it’s okay to kill her? But he didn’t kill her, you say. Whenever you point a gun at people, you risk killing them. It doesn’t matter because she had it coming, you imply.

And therein lies a common problem with crime: Folks figure criminals are subhuman and fair game to those who want to rob, rape or kill them.

I just don’t see it that way. If she is doing drugs, she will likely kill herself eventually but that doesn’t mean I am going to rob her and stuff her in the trunk of her car, nor will I condone others doing it.

And that is assuming the worst case. What if she legitimately stopped to get a drink out of a vending machine and legitimately and humanely offered a ride to a fellow human being and he considered her prey?

I just don’t see the humor in her predicament.

David for hearts

I stop my car at the end of every trip. Don’t you?

I have stopped at places I thought were open but which weren’t. I have stopped to buy drinks from drink machines even when the store was closed.

There’s all kinds of reasons to stop a car. None of them justify being attacked and robbed–assuming it happened.

David with a stopped Caravan as we speak

it is a sad time when we know to not bother to call our local police.
They have pretty much trained me well also.

First the neighbors trained me not to call, and I was so upset with
the police when they came, it took me a while to realise they were
training me not to call also.

I had hoped with a new sheriff in now things might change.
But…….

The cops here are the same old cops.
They have the same mind set they have always had.

Go take some lessons get a permit and get you a smith and wesson!
The good ppl of this town don’t have protection.

The story makes all the sense in the world.Go to WEAR’s site.They have the story that she stopped in the parking lot of a tire store.Which is it?

Here are the exact words from the Sheriff’s Office press release:

“According to Dowdy, she had finished shopping at Cordova Mall and stopped at a convenience store which was closed. (It is believed that store was the mom and pop store located at 4404 N. Palafox based on Dowdy’s description of the store).”
