Hadn't seen this discussed here, arrest made yesterday.

Caught a SVF with firearm felony in 2014. Had the same charge in Marion County in 2022... dismissed in 2023

Glad they caught him. I won’t say much more.

I sure wish we could take guns off the streets so we could make people safe from serious violent (repeat) felons, everyday thugs and the like....

 

[Leo]

15 arrests in 5 years and he was walking the streets. If he tries a little harder he might beat George Floyd's reputation. I wonder when the nutjobs will look to this guy as a poor victim?

Apparently we need to ban concealed carry and confiscate assault weapons to deal with these violent felons who we've caught carrying guns several times and decided to let go.

Once again I refuse to be blamed for the actions of people who could have been put in prison where they belong but weren't because of weak prosecutors like Ryan Mears. Want to prevent criminal "mass shootings"? Lock em up when they give you the chance!

Looks like the dead guy was a bigger criminal than the murderer. And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I love MyCase.

 

[printcraft]

Militant gun nazis put this in the "mass shooting" category to use as a bludgeon to try to take away my gun rights.
All over scumbags with impulse control problems.
Two words. "****" & "YOU".

 

[bwframe]

When will cities begin sueing other cities for their lack of law enforcement?

Come on now.

I'm sure he was this close to turning his life around.

One feral human attacking another feral human. Frankly neither is a loss to society, they just need to do it when there's not a hundred other people around.

So multiple people get wounded some in critical condition because two scumbags who shouldn't have been among free citizens or permitted to walk among the sane by the same weak a** government that wants to violate the constitution and it's protections of my natural rights.

And the subversives want to disarm the law abiding. Brilliant!!!

This is what Mears and Hogsett want - maximum violence and maximum casualties. Frightened citizens are easier to control.

 

[bgcatty]

This one rests on the prosecutors and judges who let these cretins back on the streets. There is no rehabilitation with hardened criminal types with a rap sheet a yard long. When will these idiots learn to lock them up and throw out the key!!! Seriously!!!

 

[Shadow01]

The issue lies with judges that don’t do their job. We should be able to sue judges for damages due to their rulings. If that causes people to not want to be judges, I have no issue with that. We will get to a point where the citizens hand out sentences anyway. We will just have one less bump in the road.

 

[DadSmith]

If a person is guilty beyond shadow of a doubt of murder they should be put to death in no more than 1 year.
They should have their appeals expedited so that it can be accomplished. If need be set up a court or courts to only hear death row appeals to get things moving faster.

 

[Doug]

"I know you shot at her 36 times with your extended magazine Glock with the auto switch, but you only hit her five time and the doctors say she might live. No one wants the hassle of a trial and I need to keep my 'case solved' numbers up. So, plead guilty to misdemeanor assault, wear an ankle monitor for three weeks, and we'll drop the attempted murder charges and all the gun charges."

"Make it two weeks and it's a deal."

"Sure, why not? You're just going to cut it off, anyway."

 

[Pepi]

Those gun laws sure do work ... "On Tuesday, the 36-year-old Vance, of Muncie, was arrested on four preliminary charges — two counts of aggravated battery, along with criminal recklessness and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon."

those damn militant amish every time.

Are their Mennonite's around Muncie? Those cats are shady...
