Yammer Dan Posted August 24, 2017 #1 Posted August 24, 2017 World turned upside down for little brother tonight. Attacked by Welfare trash sprayed in eyes and blinded. Ended up in jail for 1st degree murder!! These lowlifes had attacked him before and beaten and left him for dead with a steel pipe. When he got blinded he just pulled and shot. One dead one wounded. Gonna be rough and I don't know how to handle this.
cecdoo Posted August 24, 2017 #2 Posted August 24, 2017 Sorry to hear this Dan, sounds like self defense to me... Hopefully the judge sees it the same way. Craig
Freebird Posted August 24, 2017 #3 Posted August 24, 2017 Sure sounds like he got a raw deal. I hope that justice works in his favor this time.
BlueSky Posted August 24, 2017 #4 Posted August 24, 2017 What a trajedy! I too hope it is ruled self defense and the best resolution possible.
videoarizona Posted August 24, 2017 #5 Posted August 24, 2017 Holy Crap! Here's hoping all goes well.....Prayers Up!
Flyinfool Posted August 24, 2017 #6 Posted August 24, 2017 Geeze Dan I sure hope everything sorts its self out quickly. It is my understanding that if you shoot someone for any reason you will be arrested, it is then the DA that will look at all the evidence to determine if charges should be pursued. It is a pain but you have to give the system time, AND make sure he has a good lawyer and a good eye doc on his side. All we can do is send some prayers his way to help the process along.
sydem Posted August 24, 2017 #8 Posted August 24, 2017 Strange how law abiding citizens get in trouble for defending themselves from criminals. Prayer up.
Bert2006 Posted August 24, 2017 #10 Posted August 24, 2017 Thoughts are with you and your brother....
CaseyJ955 Posted August 24, 2017 #11 Posted August 24, 2017 Get the best lawyer you can afford and the judge may just see things for what they are. On the upside he probably saved someone else from the same fate by bringing out said trash. Thoughts are with you both, hoping for a favorable outcome.
cowpuc Posted August 24, 2017 #12 Posted August 24, 2017 I am with Bongo and totally speechless Dan.. My thoughts and prayers are certainly with you folks as you work thru this tragic event... Please let your brother know we are thinking of and praying for him.. Has he got an immediate family,, wife/children? Prayers Up Puc
saddlebum Posted August 24, 2017 #13 Posted August 24, 2017 World turned upside down for little brother tonight. Attacked by Welfare trash sprayed in eyes and blinded. Ended up in jail for 1st degree murder!! These lowlifes had attacked him before and beaten and left him for dead with a steel pipe. When he got blinded he just pulled and shot. One dead one wounded. Gonna be rough and I don't know how to handle this. Really sorry to hear about this. Unfortunately judgement is always made by those who were not there. They may say that being sprayed is not life threatening there fore would not warrant his actions, yet who is to say that is were it stops. Do you wait until your near beat to death or until it is too late before you are justified in taking action? Make sure he has a good lawyer for sure because the opposing side will try to make it appear that he overreacted. Strange how law abiding citizens get in trouble for defending themselves from criminals. Prayer up. You got that right. A friend of mine got charged with assault for beating up three guys that broke into his house with a base ball bat that they brought with them after he wrestled the bat from the one that brought it I have grown to believe that we live by a legal system not a justice system. In a legal system anything can happen, based on the opinions of those that were not there and how much you can afford to pay out.
Kretz Posted August 24, 2017 #14 Posted August 24, 2017 So very sorry to hear this Dan. Others have said it all before me, there's not much I can add. Really hope your brother can get some help with his sight, & that things will improve for you & your family. I'm lost for words. Have faith, Peace Dan.
BlueSky Posted August 24, 2017 #15 Posted August 24, 2017 You got that right. A friend of mine got charged with assault for beating up three guys that broke into his house with a base ball bat that they brought with them after he wrestled the bat from the one that brought it In NC now, anybody who breaks into your house can be terminated whether there is a perceived bodily harm risk or not. The way it was explained in the cc class that my wife took, if you come home and someone is sitting and watching tv, you have the legal right to terminate him.
DragonRider Posted August 24, 2017 #17 Posted August 24, 2017 So sorry to hear about that, prayers offered up for justice for your brother and his eyesight.
snyper316 Posted August 24, 2017 #18 Posted August 24, 2017 Prayers up to your brother and family, Hopefully it will come out ok in the end.
Sylvester Posted August 24, 2017 #20 Posted August 24, 2017 You have been hit hard lately and I feel for you. Prayers for you and your family.
Pegasus1300 Posted August 24, 2017 #21 Posted August 24, 2017 So sorry to hear of your brothers troubles. have you contacted USCCA to see if there is any help they can provide? Or NRA Concealed Carry?
Yama Mama Posted August 24, 2017 #22 Posted August 24, 2017 Gee Dan, I am really sorry to hear this news. I will pray that it works out in your brother's favor. Yama Mama
Marcarl Posted August 24, 2017 #23 Posted August 24, 2017 Best thing to do is to ask the Great Shepherd how to handle this and let Him work it out. He may give you something to do so be on the alert for instructions, in other words, you can't sit back, but them I kind of think you wouldn't do that anyways. You have our thoughts and prayers as always, in the end His will, will be done.
Snaggletooth Posted August 25, 2017 #24 Posted August 25, 2017 Dan, I don't know what to say let alone be able to say anything that will make you feel better right now. You and the warden have been down a rough road lately and you certainly did not need to be tested by this. All I can offer to you and your brother is my heartfelt support and prayers to give you all the strength you need to deal with this situation.
djh3 Posted August 25, 2017 #25 Posted August 25, 2017 Man Dan it just seems to come in waves sometimes. Sorry for his issues and we will pray all works out. Sounds to me like 1 dead nobody hurt.
