This guy should be getting a medal not prosecution by the DA. I guess New Orleans Law and Order gets mad when citizens do their job for them.

I always wondered what pastors wore when they were off duty.

Can only shoot when you fear for your life or someone else's life. Can't shoot to protect property

What's the problem? Idiots shouldn't have been trying to steal his A/C for what... 60 bucks worth of copper? The pastor should be given a medal, not arrested.

Some stupid criminal's life is most certainly not worth more than my property.

Who steals copper from a church? Those lowlifes could've knocked on the door and the preacher probably would've given them anything he could to help them out.
Some people are just animals.

The bad ones always pull through.

He shot the dude in the back of the head as they were driving away. You might WANT to do it, but it's not legal. I can't believe it took eight months to charge him.

I think burglary should be punishable by death so I completely agree with this...

No jury would ever convict a pastor for lighting up two animals that were stripping copper out a church air conditioning unit.
Also, I love how the low life theif is suing the pastor for shooting him while he was theiving. 'Merica.

It's a big thing to steal A/C units from a Church as well.
Back in 2012 me and a guy from a local A/C company donated units (used but nice) to a church after the old ones were stolen. (then put cages around them) It's fricking sad. People will cause $3000 in damage for $25-30 worthy of scrap, if that.
Copper thieves and graffiti "artists" need to start being shot.

Why is the officer just holding that gun? I've watched a lot of SVU, and you are supposed to use a knife to pick things up. Of course I guess it not like their trying to figure out who shot who.

That's not very liberal of you. You need to find these people jobs instead of executing them in the street.
Liberals, just when you think you get to know them....sheesh.

all the peeps posting they'd shoot someone on their property for theft
i hope you don't have a lot of assets you want to hold onto

Except he lit them up as they were driving away and had already pass him up.

I think we need a new law, I'll call it the "Hands Up Don't Shoot Law". I base it on this, in wartime it is perfectly legal to fire on a retreating or routed enemy, the assumption being that if they are not destroyed or neutralized, they will be able to regroup and continue fighting
Any criminal fleeing a crime where they have commissioned an act of violence or against property should be fair game for lethal force by law enforcement and citizens unless they are attempting to surrender.
Looking forward to any amendments or suggestions for this idea.

Works for me. Call it the "Don't start none, won't be none" law.

Do you history Bro?
This exact scenario was covered in a USSC opinion in 1985.
Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)[1], was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that, under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he or she may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others."
Damn. It seems like every one of my posts ends up at the bottom of the page.
