Came across this from another forum. Thought it was funny that the DA tried to file charges against this guy saying if the elderly lady had time to call him and call 911 she had time to run. So what they are implying is..... If your eldery lady neighbor calls you saying an armed intruder is breaking into her house you should just say can't help you. Run Forest Run. Last time I checked 86 year old ladies aren't too fast. Here's the post.
"That's right. I believe in any shooting in California, you are arrested as a matter of course, and your weapons are temporarily confiscated until the matter is cleared up. Of course many over-zeolous District Attorneys attempt to prosecute anyway, and then of course the bad guys family can sue you in civil court, even if you are not found guilty in a criminal court.
Listening to a radio show over the weekend, and they were talking about the recent shooting in Texas (?) in which the guy blasted two criminals robbing his neighbor's house (good for him!) - and they died. Should he be held for murder? Not in my opinion, I don't know what the law will do.
Anyway, caller from San Jose called in to the show. He killed an intruder at his elderly neighbor's home two years ago, the guy was armed. The good samaritan was called by his neighbor, an 86 year old woman, informing him of the intruder. He told her to call 911 and he headed over. The DA had the stones to attempt prosecution, and say that if the woman had time to call 911, and he had time to arm himself and go over to the house, then the woman had time to flee the residence. He was cleared of charges, and it only cost him $10,000.
Stand your ground? Not here. Yeah, any armed intruder at my place will end up deader than a doornail, and then I'll end up jail. California is one buggered up state, that's for sure."
