Just my opinion but the alleged thieves got exactly what was coming to them. Don’t go getting the above statement twisted; I didn’t say I wished that scenario on them but playing with fire usually leaves you burned. Compounding the initial crime by shooting into the occupied moving vehicle only makes a bad situation worse.
Those of you who’ve judged the victim of this crime for chasing down the crooks are just plain wrong and very obviously cowards. Not doing anything but calling 911 instead of reporting the crime,the thieves’ vehicle description, and the direction in which they are traveling, makes evident their big government reliance. If the deputies were available, more likely than not one would have been on the scene a lot sooner. (That statement is NOT meant to reflect poorly on the deputies). Due to the fast changing pace of our society, large city police chiefs have encouraged the everyday citizen to get involved in apprehending criminals. Historically as goes large cities so go the smaller ones.
Last, again some of you attempted to make some kind of point (no one ever said what that point was), about the victim’s truck having bullet holes in an area that to talk didn’t make sense. Regardless of where the holes penetrated, the facts remain that the alleged criminals attempted to shoot the occupants in the truck. That fact alone makes those who are somehow doubting the legitimacy of the position of the bullets to be ridiculous.
Unless one of you could handle such a situation as this in as brave and protective way I think a wise person would refrain from Monday morning quarterbacking and instead take a page out of this “victim’s” book.

I am wondering if they are the ones that broke into my cousins place and took his guns and broke into my brothers best friends place on thanksgiving morning .Stole his guns and other important things. I admire the young girl and her Mother that they have a forgiving heart. My heart goes out to their Mothers because they may not live through this. If it were my son, I would not want to read some of these comments. No matter how good you raise your children it only takes one thing to give them a change of heart and they turn the other way, Divorce, death and abuse can change a person in a minute. Be very careful what you say because you may reap what is coming out of your mouth. Believe me I have. I pray for you all.

I have to agree with A. Alex that it was correct for the homeowner to engage these people.

If posses had not pursued bad guys in the old wild west, there would have been no law and order and let me tell you that things are not getting any better in today’s wild wild world.

Law Enforcement is not omnipotent, there is a citizen element and sometimes the citizen has to act to protect family and property.

Prayers for the recovery of the Enfinger family.

My continued prayers for Randy and his granddaughter. I was the driver in front of Randy that morning and miraculously avoided colliding with the Mazda that shot across the median. By the time their car crossed, it had landed on its hood and debris was flying everywhere and coming at my vehicle. All i remember was crying out to God, stepping on the brakes and moving quickly into the left lane, praying that another car would not collide with mine. I avoided the MAZDA by mere inches and knew that the poor soul behind me would collide head on with it. My vehicle suffered minor damage in comparison, a bent inside rim and shredded tire resulting from the debris that i had to run over. This is a senseless act of violence and rage that has significantly impacted several innocent people, both physically, emotionally and psychologically. Thank you to Chris, and the volunteer fireman who assisted my boyfriend with changing the flat. We were visitors to the panhandle during Thanksgiving week, this has scarred our memories of the beautiful people from this area.

We who live in the north end of the county have lost the freedom to live with unlocked doors and windows opened, trusting the integrity of others. After they took the Bible out of schools, two generations later, we must lock all doors, including car doors, barn doors, shed doors, garage doors. There are many, = who truly, honestly believe if they can see it, touch it-it is theirs for the taking! They believe if we cannot hide, lock away, put in a safe or stand guard over, it belongs to whoever can take it. It is the have not but entitled mentality. There is no pride in working to own; no respect for others.

Re. VERY SAD… really, you want to blame the good citizen for the actions of these thugs. I hope you aren’t raising any kids now or never. People needs to take the blame for thier own thug ways. All three needs LOOOONG PRISON times. Stolen car and firing at the red truck. Bet we might have had a dead LEO if they were chasing them.

Debra, Actually, the bible does not say “God helps those that help them selves” at least not in any translation I have read. This is not to say people shouldn’t, just that it should not be added to the scripture. (Also, people should not help themselves to what others have not offered.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . David for better people

WOW, victim pulls up along side and gets at least three bullets in the side of his truck. Some people would be needing a change of pants after that.
To bad the perps crashed and burned.
The other three will claim innocents forced to ride along and get a year of probation.
Maybe the po-po will find a spent joint in the vehicle and they will get ten years in jail instead.

deputies can’t be everywhere and in the north end we have a large area that is rural. where do you put your assets? in the more populated areas of course. it will take time to get help. we have to depend on ourselves.

There is the attitude of, if you can get away then no crime that can be without reasonable doubt, ever happened.
If there was NO CRIME COMMITED you would not be in a shoot out and crash into a fiery blase putting innocent in jeopardy.
I still see the locked up convenience store as I drive down Michagan.where the owner was killed and the thieves still have their lives!
