Police let unlicensed gunman, who killed unarmed customer, get away with bloody murder at Taco Bell

reply to post by BrittanyLea


I just re-watched two more times, where do they say that? It only says "he" was walking, and they say he was "carrying a leash" not "walking a dog?"

It says it in several articles.

At first, the couple claimed that Adkins had a metal pipe that he swung at them -- but it turns out he was holding a dog leash with his yellow lab on the other end.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

In truth I don't believe that race was a factor in either instance, but the anti-discrimination folks, like Sharpton, always make it about that. I guess they have to prove that they are still relevant by getting in the press somehow. Even this family has stated that this is not a race issue, and they don't really want it turning into one.

As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

Indeed. Theyre trying to make it out to be more than what it is, which is what those kind of vultures always try to do. When the whole Zimmerman/Trayvon thing first started the media jumped the bandwagon and started saying it was a white guy and NBC was actually caught editing key components out of the recording to inflame the masses. Then Trayvon's mother got on TV and said she believed it was an accident and when her lawyers talked to her she got back on the hate crime wagon and recanted that statement.

Thats what i hate about this country, anytime something happens it automatically becomes a race issue before anyone even bothers to actually take a look at the evidence and what exactly happened. Today is no different than the 1600's, we still have witch hunts, just of a different type and the media is the very first source that cries and points the finger while accusing "WITCH!"

Right, like the dog is running around lose with no leash and the fellow just happens to be going to taco bell carrying a leadpipe.

Either someone is lying, or someone is very severely retarded and cannot tell that a guy in a taco bell parkinglot is going to get some chow.

Here in UK, if I found someone burgeling my house and I punched him out cold, I'd get prosecuted.

It's a truley sad state of affairs if your allowed to kill a man in any circumstances and not have heavy repercussions.

He should be arrested no questions.

Such a messed up system you have in USA.

I'm allowed to restrain and sit on him/her. No hitting or biting.

Yeah I get what your saying, it's pretty bad here too, though I did word part of that post wrong, because in truely self defensive situations it may be your only chance, to kill someone.


But here it seems rediculous, sounds like he brought a gun to a fist fight, did he try rolling up his window? Did he try reversing if there was nothing behind him? It seems like there could have been a multitude of things he could have done otherwise, but jumps straight to the gun. What are your kids really being taught that this is how they deal with hard situations?


Edit: your talking about Squatters Rights in your second post. I believe Simpsons did it too, so you may have this law over there, or maybe in certain states, or you dropped the law sometime ago.

Squatting Laws worldwide:

We had a real crackdown about 10 years ago when an innocent man was shot by police on the London Underground, actually it was not long after 9/11 and the world was living in fear of dark skinned people with backpacks.

Shooting someone in your house is very different from shooting them out in public, in most states.

I would suggest the burgelers should try my neighbors house, not mine, for their own safely. Cause they would not survive otherwise. On second thought, neighbors would shoot them also.

People should be polite, and not fight. There is no way to know how dangerous someone is by looking at them. Looks can be deceiving. We have martial artists here, dangerous without a gun. Just don;t even try it. Stay home at night, don;t make trouble. Or you get dead...

How can the cops let this guy claim self defense? He was sitting in a car if he felt threatened all he had to do was put the car in drive and hit the gas.

Indeed.... even if the guy posed a threat, to shoot him dead, in public, have the police come and then not even arrest the shooter?? I mean WTF?

Even if it was self defence and the guy was going to "Punch" someone.... that doesn't mean he deserved to be shot dead.

And just to let the guy walk away, while an investigation is carried out... as if NO CRIME has been committed.... just shows how backwards, retarded and ridiculous gun laws and "killing people" are in America.

What an absolute joke.



If this and The Martin/Zimmerman case are both examples of "stand your ground" then this "law" needs to be scrapped right now.

Since when do you need a license to carry?

As a gun owner the most common misconception I educate people about is the fact that you do not need a license or you do not need a permit to carry. Only a permit to purchase a handgun is required.

On the other hand, an individual can receive a gun from a relative like his father as a gift and that's perfectly legal.

I dont know where this happened but in most states it is perfectly legal to carry a loaded fire arm in your vehicle without a permit. Im not saying it makes it a justified shooting, but know your gun laws before making assumptions.

If you caught someone in your home here and punched then out, you'd get a medal. And probably questioned why you didnt kill the moron. But yet in your country you would get prosecuted for an unwanted stranger coming in to your private residence and taking your personal property without your permission. And we have a messed up system? Are you serious? Somebody needs to tell your lawmakers to lay of the sauce....

No he was being a little sarcastic.

You are well within your rights to use reasonable force to protect your self and your family if an intruder breaks into your house.

Smashing their head into the floor and killing them would not be reasonable.... neither would stabbing them 34 times.


But Using a bat, crowbar, or any other blunt instrument to disable the attacker and/or restraining them, knocking them out or anything else you like is also OK.

Chasing them out of your house and beating them to within an inch of their life in the street is not OK.


Don't get me wrong, If someone broke into my house I have things to protect myself with and the person would be sorry that they did break in.... but I'm not insane and neither would I want to kill the person.

Demand justice. Make them have to pay the price for bad behavior.

As far as I've always seen. Where a death has occurred or a weapon was involved, the police take everyone down to the station to put them in separate rooms and question each one by themselves. Why all of a sudden they just let people walk away with only they're name now I have no idea whats up with that. Seems more like they are just being lazy in they're investigation.
