re: Former Team USA medalist gunned down in Starbucks drive-thru

To be fair, Vietnamese youths were the violent ones in Biloxi circa 2004

A skating coach and former U.S. Figure Skating competitor was shot and killed in a Starbucks drive-thru in St. Louis on Tuesday morning by a man suspected of committing two other robberies in the days leading up to the slaying.

As sad and despicable as the crime against Nancy Guthrie seems to be, this should get twice the news coverage

In the case of this poor murdered figure skater in St. Louis, the criminal was known to law enforcement for robbing in the area while waving a gun.

The linked article merely quotes a vague bureaucracy-speak response as to why there was not more done to warn the public, the journalist never pushes harder, let alone asks why a known perp was not in jail.

Meanwhile, in 2017 the same city underwent "mostly peaceful protests" for days when a convicted criminal out on probation was shot after ramming a police car.

The same media who has suddenly gone timid in questioning police work in St Louis now, at that time helped give the "protests" a beard of legitimacy by running ceaseless stories about the nuances of whether the police should have shot a drug suspect who reached under his dashboard instead of putting his hands up.

time to make our society safer. we are no longer a high trust society, and the only way you deal with low trust society pieces of shite is the take them out

more prisons, longer sentences…three strikes no matter how petty youre out

we are lenient on non tax paying pieces of shite who make society worse, and the reward is productive tax paying citizens being harassed, robbed and murdered going about everyday life

guarantee you this guy should have been in prison forever a decade ago and this girl would still be alive to live her life

instead she’s gone, her parents friends and families lives forever ruined.

frick liberal bleeding heart policies that allow this

The article doesn’t say anything about an arse kicking. It described it as a verbal confrontation.

they would be claiming self-defense

I rather like St Louis - at least parts of it. Forest Park, art museum, zoo. Watched a Kool and the Gang free concert followed by fireworks in Forest Park on July 4. Was a blast. All free and very nice. Can’t speak to the bad areas. Avoided them during all my visits.

St. Louis is an oft forgotten city in the conversations of once great places that are gone forever.

Because it’s THAT far gone. Pittsburgh has recovered nicely, Detroit isn’t that bad anymore, Buffalo has the Bills …

Then there’s St. Louis.

From the article, the defense is claiming self defense:

While Landry's defense team claimed self-defense, prosecutors said they believe it was intentional.

When do the riots start? Imagine if the roles were reversed.
