   To say that the inmates are running the asylum … would be an insult to asylum inmates everywhere. Can it get any more blatantly un-American? Will similar charges be brought up the next time a police officer is forced to shoot someone trying to run them down?

   Crazy? We passed crazy a long time ago. I pray for Mr. Wallace and at 82 … yeah, I guess he should have just let them steal it huh? WTF? but I fear there is little to do but weep for these once proud Independent but United States of America.

   At 82 it is not like he can stand face to face with them. Not even pressing charges on two admitted thieves … much less questioning their very right to be here? November is going to be a turning point one way or the other … which way the cold winds will blow remains to be seen.

   Torres dropped off Cardano with a gunshot wound to the face.

   That would seem to indicate he did fire in self defense as the truck approached.

   Sources say Torres and Cardona are believed to be in the country illegally and both have an arrest record. Cardona’s record includes public fighting and numerous traffic offenses like driving without a license or insurance. Torres’s record includes agricultural trespassing as well as a 2005 arrest for aggravated motor vehicle theft for which he was given a plea bargain to a lesser crime. Sources say Torres is also under investigation for being part of a major auto theft ring.

    Cell Phones for Seniors
    The District Attorney and the TRIAD are offering free cell phones to seniors for emergency use. The phones are programmed to dial only 911 but can be a valuable resource for many older adults.

    Fortunately, the DA is providing free cell phones – as opposed to prosecuting crime for example.

    “Hello police – two illeagal aliens just tried to kill me with my own truck!”

    “Wait right there, we’re sending an officer over to haul you in.”

    Charging Mr. Wallace with “attempted first degree murder” implies that the D.A. believes the shooting was premeditated. So he must have evidence that a psychic told Mr. Wallace when his trailer was going to be stolen and that he then made plans to shoot the guy in advance. This is nuts! The D.A. should be charged with attempted first degree murder of the justice system.

    Charges need to be filed against that DA for abusing his power and authority.

    The illegal was shot in the face while he was trying to run over Mr. Wallace on Mr. Wallace’s property. Colorado has a law that allows a person to use deadly force to defend oneself on your own property.

    This DA is either ignorant of the law, or flat out ignoring it!!! I would think that either would be a crime in itself!

    Dumb question I know, but why is it the police in these sanctuary cities don’t know what ILLEGAL means? Why aren’t these illegal aliens in jail now waiting for ICE, oh I forgot ICE doesn’t do their job either, hence we have Arizona doing it for them. Go! Gov. Brewer.

    Wonder if the CO DA knows the signal he’s really sending here. If you’re being robbed and threatened, shoot to kill and make sure you finish it. Then you are the only “witness”. The REAL victim here was 82 years old and only fired two shots.

    Same here in KY.

    This may also explain why we have very VERY few home invasions around here. When you break into a house in these parts, there is a much greater than 50% chance that the residents are armed, and know how to USE their arms.

    As I have said, everyone should own and be proficient with three weapons: A M1 Garand, a 12 gauge shotgun, and a Colt 1911 style .45ACP pistol.

    The Garand for range, the shotgun for proximity, and the 1911 for making sure that whatever is coming for you goes down and STAYS there. Permanently.

    Did you get your law degree out of a crackerjack box? You charge him, yet those who clearly broke the law by coming into this country illegally and trying to steal from this man get a pass? Even with their criminal records?

    Did either of the aliens break a nail while stealing from this gentleman taxpayer? Perhaps you could pile on some civil rights charges if they did.
