Due to last Wednesday night, March 6th, one of my long time fishing buddy was shot twice in the chest killing him. Prior to this incident, 2 weeks prior, 4 black males ranging in age from 22 to 18 had been hanging around his house. On the 23rd of February someone had kicked in his back door, Police was called, report made, but nothing at that time was taken. Then again on Sunday while the family was away, their house was broken into again. Police called again and nothing was done about the suspects consistantly hanging around the house. Even neighbors had reported to the police about the 4 that was hanging around their house. Wendnesday afternoon about 4 pm, his house was broken into again through the basement window. Again nothing was taken, but evidence showed that they had pilfered through stuff. That night while the Family was home (daughter 22, a friend of hers 21, son 15, his wife, and himself 42) around 10:15, one of the men of the 4, kicked in the back kitchen door. My friend knowing something was going to happen had armed himself. He heard the door being kicked in and went to investigate with his gun drawen. He confronted the intruder at gun point, then the intruder went for his gun. My friend went to shoot him and his gun jammed and wouldn't fire. That is when the gunman shot him twice. The gunman left the house and then the four of them was last seen running up the street by their house. About 10 minuets later, the police pulled over a car that had matched the 4. One of the suspects (18 year old black male) had a handgun that had just recently been fired, missing two rounds in the clip, and had a ski mask. They charged him with carring a concealed weapon and let him go two days later. Now that the Ballistics have been completed, and the gun matches the bullets in my friends chest, they have a warrant for his arrest for murder. Guess What? Now they can't find the 4 men that was involved. DUH! How Stupid can they get!<br /> They did find out that they were after a gun collection that he had. However, he did not have them at his house, they were at another friends of his for cleaning and polishing. That is why nothing else was taken. <br /> My one post about "Busted with Beer", he was one of the buddies that was there. As a tribute to him, this season I will keep his rod in the rodholder with a bow tied around it.<br /> I try not to be racist, and try to treat any enthnic person the same way I would like to be treated. But when something like this happens, it makes me feel so angry due to their ability to have the lack of value for human life.<br /> About all I can say is that he should have used the shotgun instead that handgun, and he would probably still be with us today. Plus one low life eliminated from society!<br /> Thanks for listening to my sorry, all of the forum members here I consider as my friends. You all are great people from around the world, and you all have warm thoughtfull hearts of gold. Lets keep it that way! Thanks again....
