Don't worry I'll act within the boundaries of what the law says in that situation. Doesn't seem like you know what to do in that situation. Go ahead try that line of thinking and I'll wave at you as you on that white blue bird prison bus wishing you would've acted responsibly. All that shoot first sort it out later crap has landed a many of folk in the state pen. Shooting at people because they in your car is against the law plain and simple. Don't worry I got the gators too !!! @david . Don’t worry I’ll act within the boundaries of what the law says in that situation. Doesn’t seem like you know what to do in that situation.

I can see giving them a warning shot to scatter on but if someone shoots at someone in their yard you will definitely get the grand prize of a prison sentence for that." You are right. It would be silly to just shoot at and merely wound, notify anyone about it after, or to leave living witnesses. . I would never do a thing like that. Anyone considering stealing better hope they rob only fools, welcome-mats, and bad shots. And warning shots just endanger others. That would be wrong. There is only one place for a shot to avoid hitting the innocent. And in case the neighbors would tell : "Officer, he said he was going to shoot me, or I think/thought that was what he said. You can see he had a knife. I know they're dangerous because I have six...no, five of them myself. It doesn't matter what I might or might not do. What matters is what any of the ones he's robbing might do. He is risking justifiable homicide to steal some guns to sell for use in unjustifiable homicide. (A possibility, anyway, not to be ignored.) And if the "I don't want to be a victim" respondent gets even one reasonable (or possibly unreasonable to you) juror, the nonvictim walks. Attorneys would be wise to not push it lest they remind people what jurors are apt to do when they realize they might be violated too. David for well fed gators CONTEMPLATING:

There was no excuse being made for his actions. The point being made is the news was making it sound like they were busting into the cars. That want the case. No I don't leave my doors unlocked. And if you leave your prize possessions in an unlocked car and something happens don't be crying and boo hoping when they gone. Like I said those days are gone of security in your own space.

He was juvenile court before he moved to adult. He takes what he wants out of a case and uses his opinion not evidence . He says horrible things that really don't need to be said. In juvenile he would tell kids how horrible they were and they aret threats to society. I feel for anybody who gets this judge, he does not judge fairly. I don't know these boys story so I'm not commenting on that, I just know this judge @jd judge Robinson is horrible. He was juvenile court before he moved to adult.

Flowers Thu, 22 Jul 2021 04:12:25 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=448520#comment-459652 I suspect that many a criminal who gets leniency comes out of it with a feeling of both relief and "I got away with it". But getting put away 15 years limits one's misbaving to an environment behind bars and barbed wire. Bad for them, good for the rest of us, for at least 15 years. I wish the kid well and a good life once he is out. I suspect that many a criminal who gets leniency comes out of it with a feeling of both relief and “I got away with it”.

Things go wrong with kids quite often. No one in the family condoned Deonte's actions in this. According to that public pretender some of the charges were to be not prosecuted. But on sentencing day it was a different deal. Deonte didn't have a paid lawyer. We all knew he would get some time but not all that time. And Ms brown was comfortable with that. But Judge Robinson didn't want to hear a thing anyone there for deonte had to say. In fact the judge brings up and I quote " and you been messing around in Santa Rosa county too." Deonte hadn't even been contacted by Santa Rosa police or detective about anything. So for the judge to be considering something that didn't even pertain or exist to the case is total mularkey. None of us are condoning Deonte's actions, but the problem lies in the sentencing with things being applied to this case that doesn't exist. All the cars that were burglarized had unlocked doors . Not making excuses. And also the lady that showed up to give her statement for sentencing for the state, you said you were traumatized and have to go to counseling over the theft. Lock your doors and don't leave your goods in an unlocked car. This isn't the 60s anymore. I know Deonte’s mother personally. Things go wrong with kids quite often.
