It’s not “accessory to murder.” It’s “murder.” And in Ohio that can net you the Death Penalty.
There shouldn’t be any needed. People with apostrophes or other odd punctuation in their name tend to come from dysfunctional families that result in criminal activity down the road. Adding punctuation in a name is a red flag. It is a bad idea in general because it tends to mess up official databases and shows that the parents have no concern or knowledge of normal social conventions. It is the same reason that you shouldn’t name your son something like “Latorious”.
It is like white trash that uses double names as a convention. The middle name Wayne is especially bad because a lot of serial killers and armed robbers use both their first and middle names as to refer to someone. It is best that parents steer well clear of that convention unless they want to permanently mark their child as a potential criminal for life.
Yeah, those people are awful, amiright?
:dubious:
Yes, you are right. White trash and everyone that holds people at gunpoint in fast food restaurants and threatens to kill them over Taco Bell bucks are awful people. Sometimes they get killed just doing their job. Those are the breaks.
You accidentally typed “n’t” in your post. If you don’t want to die, don’t rob Taco Bells. It’s that simple. Every day, I’m amazed at how easy it is to not rob Taco Bells. I have a 100% success rate, and I’ve done it every day of my life.
What possible reason would you have for not killing a robber?
They weren’t protecting Taco Bell. They were protecting themselves. There are plenty of instances where the employee(s) have been shot because there wasn’t enough money, or no witnesses, or the perp was high, or just because.
While Taco Bell has no property worth killing for, it’s worth noting that they also have nothing worth dying for. You want money from Taco Bell? Get a job there.
He who fights with hamburglars might take care lest he thereby become a hamburglar.
Did you mean to quote me? I wasn’t making a point. But I agree that if someone is robbing you, especially if you are an employee, just give them the money. If they’re threatening violence like in this case, I also have zero problem with self defence.
I don’t have a choice, my surname is something like D’Amico. Breaking computer systems is my specialty.
Thanks for clarifying, I don’t disagree in principle but it looked like this was heading in a problematic direction.
Is no one wondering why the employees were packing fire arms…at work no less…i think would that grounds for being terminated…it would be at every job I’ve ever had…that’s kinda scary…not sure I want my grand kids at taco bell…with guns being bandied about…i feel for the life of the other employees…and I am glad they are alive…
I agree with Chessic Sense…it is easy not being a criminal…hadn’t had to try real hard!
Well done!
I decided a long time ago that if it’s a choice between my job or my life, well, I can get another job.
They weren’t protecting Taco Bell they were protecting themselves.
Not typically. This is newsworthy because it’s unusual.
What is allowed and what actually occurs can be two different things.
Handguns aren’t that easy to aim, particularly in a high-stress environment with moving targets. Also, one of the two thieves might have been acting more threatening or perceived as more threatening and thus drew more of the fire (which would account for being shot six times) giving the other man more opportunity to escape.
I ate Taco Bell once. I’m not sure that being shot isn’t a kindness.
Most (?) states have a felony murder law but it looks like Ohio got rid of theirs. I can’t tell if you get charged with second degree murder or some manslaughter charge.
More meat for the vat.
Or perhaps you were just sneaking in a racist opinion.
Do you have a cite for any of this? Or is this just random personal bigotry (yes, judging people negatively by their name alone is bigotry)?
Dysfunctional…really…because of you’re name…i cannot believe that!!
What a reprehensible stereotype. That’s all I’ll say outside the Pit.
On the first I agree, minus some 99% imaginary idea, in modern welfare states, that anyone has to steal let alone rob at gunpoint to feed their families. People choose to commit armed robberies.
On the second though there are plenty of good reasons not to. Even leaving aside theoretical morality, it might mess up your mind and your life to have killed somebody when you could have run instead. Or their family or associates might come after you. Or even if from a God’s eye view you were justified it might not look that way to a jury. There are reasons to do it and not to do it. The individual has to weigh them in the moment, assuming they have the means (like a gun) to do anything.
My guess is that the guy who got ventilated was the one who jumped behind the counter to grab the money, or was the only one armed. In either case, the would be the closest to the employees and the most threatening. The other robber rabbited while his partner was getting put down.
