Echoes of Zimmerman in Minnesota.

It seems that this fellow was sick and tired of folks entering his homestead without his permission.

A great word, really. I mean Homestead!

So he created a plan.

He hid down in his basement after hiding his vehicle, awaiting the bad M(*&^ERS who would plan to enter his kingdom.

And he killed two teenagers. What is the proper sentence for B&E?

Right here in Minnesota.

This story really got to me for some reason.

First, this protection of the homestead is national in nature.

I mean I could see me doing this, really! Although I have not owned a home since 1999.

This fellow knew that his homestead had been broken into prior to his psychotic breakdown.

And so, on his own, he decided that he would do something about these trespasses.

On April 29, Minnesota resident Byron Smith was convicted on two counts each of premeditated first-degree murder and second-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Haile Kifer, 18, and Nick Brady, 17. Brady and Kifer were killed on Thanksgiving Day 2012 after breaking into Smith’s home. 

While homeowners have broad latitude in defending their residences from intruders, a jury believed that Smith went too far. Prosecutors compared Smith’s actions on Thanksgiving Day to the setting up of a deer stand. After spotting a neighbor he believed had previously burglarized his house, Smith moved his car to make his home seem unoccupied and then waited in his basement “with a book, energy bars, a bottle of water and two guns.” 

Smith also set up an audio recording which captured what transpired. After breaking a window, Brady came down the basement stairs and was shot two times. Smith was then heard saying, “You’re dead,” before firing a third shot into his face. He then put Brady’s body on a tarp and moved him to another room.

I have a lot of problems with this disposition.

I mean in Florida or Montana or a number of places, this convicted felon would be awarded wonderful medals and such.

But in my state, a jury of his peers decided to give him a 2^nd Degree Murder Award.

Frankly, because of the guy's mental state and all (and I admit to not reading the trial transcript) the sombitch should have been convicted of Manslaughter in the first or second-degree!

Somehow I stepped into his shoes even though I have not owned a homestead for 16 years or so.

The fellow was not in his right mind at the time.

And he was so screwed up that he taped the episode and provided the prosecution with a real time audio of exactly what he did when he did it.

I mean he shot this girl twice and then said:

That is the end of you you bitch!

Or some such, read the links.

And he killed kids.

Things are not exactly black and white in this chaotic world.

And it really does not matter in the long run, I mean this guy is so screwed up that he will never survive ten years let alone twenty years.

He is going to die. He will die of liver failure or heart failure or whatever before he ever 'gets out'.

Look, if people are constantly entering your own abode without your consent, your mind is not going to be that 'sane'.

Anyway, as far as I can tell in about half of our states at this present time, the defendant in this matter would be exonerated; and that is wrong.

PALIN'S TAKE

When Palin stood before the huge crowd of mostly white people, she told her audience to be afraid and to be prepared for civilian violence. She spoke about "that evil Muslim terrorist Maj. (Nidal) Hasan ... his Allah Akbar (sic) praising jihad." She said, "Ammo is expensive, don't waste a bullet on a warning shot." She divided the world between "us" and "them," with no room for dialogue. At one point she pretended to apologize for saying all liberals were hypocrites, then joked, redrawing the divisive line, "I'm kidding, yes they are."

And dropping a barbell she points at the sky sayin the Sun aint yellow, its chicken!

Now American militias are finding their own sectarian violence.

This Bundy thing has taken on a life of its own. Hahahahah

Now Bundy claims that some militia group involved in his 'defense' has gone traitor?

Hate can only breed hate, I guess?

STEWART RHODES ... now when [John] Bidler was dropped on his butt-- John Bidler-- another guy -- some Mountain Man militia guy put his hand on his gun and said "I dare ya to draw -- draw Mother Fucker I'm gonna kill ya." I'm sorry to cuss but that's what he said.  So they were being threatened.  Guys with hands on their guns threatening them.  That's why we told them [Steve & John] to get out of there.  We knew the situation was this close [signals an inch] from being a gun fight, right there inside the camp.

Hell, we cannot even hope for standards set by Wyatt Earp for chrissakes.

States are allowing guns in bars and Kindergartern schoolrooms and even airports?

I do not know what we can do.

I mean more folks are killed by gunfire than car accidents.

Maybe that says something about highway safety?

As I have written before and as a thousand individual blogs have recorded before, kids are killing kids.

Spouses are killing spouses.

And all Wayne Pierre can say is that we have monsters who live amongst us?

But when militias are attacking each other after threatening the Feds....

I dunno?

Welcome to the jungle!
