This story out of Little Falls, MN is tragic:
According to the complaint, Smith, 64, told police that he heard someone breaking into his house at noon on Thanksgiving. He showed police the window he says Brady, 17, and his cousin, Kifer, 18, used to enter his house, which he said had been broken into several times before. Lange, his friend, said he kept his valuables downstairs.
Smith told police he armed himself with a rifle and a handgun and waited downstairs until he saw the first person’s feet, then legs, then hips.
He said he fired and the first victim, Brady, tumbled down the stairs. While Brady looked up at him, he shot him in the face, according to the complaint.
“I want him dead,” he told investigators.
He put Brady’s body on a tarp and dragged him into his basement workshop and sat back down i his chair.
Several minutes later, he heard more footsteps and saw Kifer coming down the stairs. He waited until he saw her hips, then fired. She also fell down the stairs, but then his rifle jammed and Kifer laughed.
That angered Smith. “If you’re trying to shoot someone and they laugh at you, you go again,” he told police.
He then pulled out the .22-caliber, nine-shot revolver that he was wearing, and fired “more shots than I needed to.” He dragged Kifer into the workshop, placed her next to Brady and noticed she was still gasping for air.
“Smith stated at this point he placed the handgun under the woman’s chin and shot her … up into the cranium … a good clean finishing shot.”
There’s self-defense and then there’s cold-blooded execution.
Your cousin just got his face blown off. Why would you laugh. Also I agree with StonerHousewife. You’re in a smallass...
I’m not saying what he did was ok, but maybe they SHOULDN’T HAVE BROKEN INTO HIS HOUSE. And wouldn’t the second person...
goddamn.
So there’s shooting to protect yourself which maybe I can understand, but how can it be legal to do this? That’s just...
Yes, this is tragic, blah blah blah. Yes, he went overboard and had no right to do what he did. But the bigger point is...
This guy does sound very disturbed, but this is one of the few reasons(I say few because I don’t think you need a lot of...
This is completely and utterly disgusting. Die already you bitter, decrepit murderer..
I understand the fallout from the deaths but they are just going to ignore the fact that they broke into his house?
