Arrest attempt on risky suspect turns deadly - Yahoo! News

Sadly the

BG killed 1 federal marshal and wonded 2 before finally getting gunned down! The article does not go into detail if BG had a rifle/handgun/shotgun. BG got a head shot to one of the marshalls (he died 12 hours later), ankle shot to another and face grace to St. Louis PD.

What gets me is that the BG was in prison 2 times BEFORE with 10 yr senetence for each time and yet did less than 1 year each time!!!

it seems that politicians and such care more about the rights of felons than they do the the law abiding citizens i long for the days when prisoners werent living better lives than our elderly
plus illinois is repealing the death penalty what a cesspool chicago is i feel sorry for the rest of the state.

Gotta love our corrections systems in this country....

I was watching Hard Times on some cable channel last night. About being in Federal prison somewhere in Ohio.

Basically, everyone in there should/could be executed and no one would miss them. Pretty much every one was scum of the earth. None of them have no business getting out.

IMHO.

Ive often thought "Ya know I'd donate a bullet or two for some of those guys on death row" Ah firing squads the good ol days! Nope instead we taxpayers just keep em around.

Why can't we properly prosecute these leaches on society. I swear good people losing their lives and leaving families behind when it can be avoided is ridiculous. Beurocracy will be the end of us I'm afraid.

There is little deterrent left in this country. The justice system has gotten to the point where the risk is easily justified by the reward because the risk (jail/prison) provides more luxuries than most repeat offenders enjoy on the outside.

We are rewarding criminals with quality meals, a bed, clothing, entertainment and wide open access to file lawsuits against anyone who looks at them wrong at no cost.

Start taking those away and you just might see a reduction in crime.

Revolving door justice. It is a major problem in this country. A small percentage of people commit the majority of the crimes. One good thing is all the felons have to submit their DNA. We now have small DNA swabs in all cars. As a result we are getting a fair amount of repeat offenders but they don't get any real time it seems.

Who made you judge, jury, and executioner?

What if it was you that was in there for a crime you didn't do because of some evidence that just happened to make you a suspect, then some old lady that can't see straight said you were the one that did it, and testified in court?

It has happened before, and it will happen again. Innocent people will be sent to prison. They deserve their fair chance to appeal and gain their freedom back. And I'm sure there are lots of people that would miss them.

Sounds like "My Cousin Vinny". In reality, criminals are getting off because of overcrowded jail and justice systems. A lot of small time criminals don't even get held in jail. The chances of getting caught in the first place are on the side of the criminal.

I say bring back public exection and you will see alot of this bs go away. Hang them or shooting squad and crime will dwindle down alot.

Perfect example is the Sheriff in Maricopa County AZ, who is vilified for doing exactly that!!! Putting them in Tents and making them wear Pink... For me, we could use a few more People like that willing to take the media heat in order to do their sworn job.

 

[7.62-5.56Plinker]

criminals that are convicted and go to prison should spend their entire sentence. and not get out on "good behavior" BS theyre in there for a reason. because their not fit to be in society.. i think if youre not fit to be in society they should just throw you in the middle of the desert with half a bottle of water and see if they survive.

 

[GARANDGUY]

Sheriff Joe Arpayo is great! Nice guy too if youre on the right side of the fence but if youre not then do not be in his County thats for sure! My wifes grandparents live in Maricopa county during thefall and winter and come home in the spring and summer. He runs a mean chaingang too!

Chain gangs, a prisoners "link" to society. There should be more of them, instead of prison weight rooms, reading lounges, cable TV and air-conditioned rooms.

I know there is a big problem with it, but that doesn't mean the proper solution is to just off them all because not all of them are truly guilty, and they should get their fair chance in the legal system first.

We sure could use a lot more like Sheriff Arpayo.

This can't have happened...Fellons aren't allowed to have a gun. It is against the law!

Actually, most of the inmates in prison are innocent. If you don't believe me, just ask them. Excuse me if I don't get all upset about the poor folks who have been treated unfairly by the justice system. The system isn't perfect, but the amount of folks who are really innocent is an extremely small number. There are far more perpetrators, as in the OP's post, who should be in prison, but are roaming the streets. My sympathy goes out to the Deputy Marshal and his family. May they find true peace. I am grateful that there are officers, like him, who are willing to go out and risk their lives to help keep our streets just a little safer.

I met the marshall a long time ago. My brother knew him better from the cycling scene in St. Louis. Great guy and a huge loss.
