Damn, that gang member kid I was teaching how to paint...

Just got arrested for murder. Shot another kid in the middle of the street who was trying to steal his car.

2 more young lives wasted.

 

Damn dude, I am sorry to hear that. I have a lot of respect for your efforts to give back.

 

Hopefully, CA has a defense of property statute. I can't say I wouldn't have done the same though.

 

Do you think that weapon was lawfully possessed?

<leaving before this goes too Dungeony>

 

Legitimate Question though...

 

What do you paint other than lips?

 

Nah man, here if you're not in your house and defending your life you're gonna get fucked. They'll enhance it to a gang murder, Done deal. He'll get to keep his life, but his freedom is out of the question.

 

Sucks. You know what, I don't blame him and might have done the same in his position. I don't see how they can get him for murder 1 or give him a gang enhancement. Hopefully he can take a plea that gives him a chance for freedom one day.

Sorry to hear it, you were doing a good thing.

 

How old were they?

 

One gang member killing another gang member. Gang enhancement. The fact that he's the Mara isn't going to help. They're known for being violent. The da isn't gonna give a shit. He'll get murder 2 probably

 

My guy was 22. The other one I'd imagine around the same age or younger

 

cortezmachine is more like a dramamachine.

 

Hey I just live my life and take care of my kid. everything else just falls as it may

 

He didn't waste anything, he protected his property. The legal system will waste his life for no good reason.

 

Really??? Because grand theft auto should carry the death penalty? The only "thing" of mine worth killing for is my family.

Sounds like he wasted his own life with his own decision to kill a man for stealing his car.

Cortez - good on ya for doing right by the kid. Sorry for you that it worked out this way.

The rest of you ... fith

 

Shoot someone vs $500 deductible....hmmm let me think about this one....

 

Just out of curiosity... What kind of car?

 

How do you even know the guy would have not been shot himself if he did give up the car? Former gang ties and all.

Not even the same situation you are comparing.

 

Well if it did it may actually deter people from stealing cars.
