James Leach died because he was a thief, and a stupid one. He was given freedom and the opportunity to change his ways hours before he chose to Die. He was a fully grown adult and knew better. My sympathy to his family who have the loss of a loved one shadowed with shame.
As for Miller, he should be given the bill for the damage to the electric company property so that we the customers are not paying for it.
I see no need to chrge him in connection with the death. it will serve no purpose to society, and I think he has more than learnt his lesson.
PS, I live here in the US and I love the country, I love the people and I love my freedom too. I am proud to wave the American flag but I am prepared to open my eyes to the rest of the world and see that a car is just a car and a piece of metal is just a piece of metal, I am happy that people in other parts of the worl now have the opportunity to earn money to support their families and to progress, I am not jealous or angry because I see us as one people on one planet. I earn $7.25 per hour as a night cleaner, I own my house outright because I paid cash for it and renovated it myself, I own my car outright because I bought one that I could afford to pay cash for. My son has a computer and new clothes and we go out to McDonalds sometimes too. but I am not in Debt and I have no credit card bills. I am not saying that I wouldn't mind a new Caddy or a nice big house that costs too much to heat, But I can sleep at night and I can afford to work for $7.25 per hour. I have no rent or mortgage to pay!.
As Adults we need to stand back and asses our financial situations and be honest with ourselves.
The Government need to do the same, as do the Car companies.
I am from Europe, since coming to the USA all I see is a nation of over spending people who want the high wage packet but do not want to do the hours for it. I see people who have bought homes that they can neither afford or too big for their needs. And the use of credit cards is ridiculous.
The Government should not bail out the companies, they are private Business and should rise or fall on their own. the Billions in so called hand outs should be spent on creating a national health service for the American People, and creating financial education for the the next generation.
Gm should sell off some of the plants to BMW or Toyota. They are successful at what they do, and they build a better product.
It has nothing to do with Buy American! because lets face it nearly all products in the shops here are made either in China, Mexico or Pakistan.
As a nation the American people need to think globally, then they will start to do better.
Last comment! I do not think that Mr Rowles Address should have been made public knowledge. Shame on the Vindicator. If Mr Rowles house is robbed whilst he is away will the Vindicator reimburse him?.
Come on guys, Common sense please.
Mr Rowles is a proud man and deserves his Dignity, and respect.
The boy's Car did not stop accidently outside the home owners house, neither did the two boys accidently fall out and trip over a garden sign! It was Pre meditated, so they need to stand up and take their punishment,
We are all guilty as small children for pointing at The Funny Man! it is because that is what little children do, but once we are old enough to park a car outside a disabled persons home and then go out and purposly intimidate them it moves on from the little child pointing a finger in inoccense. to young adults acting in a criminal way and an unsocial way! It is this type of behaviour that we do not want and cannot accept.
The man involved has a right to defend his property, within reason. and yes he over reacted. however the actions of the two youths involved were the cause of this breach of the peace. I agree the weapons should be removed from the house, The home owner should recieve a caution from the police. The youths involved should be repremanded and given community service and perhaps made to do yard work in the home owners Garden.
Perhaps all three involved will then have the opportunity to gain a mutual respect for each other. I am sure that it would be a very good lesson for the two boys who obviously lack respect or disciplin.
One important fact that has been ommited is the fact that the property owner is partialy disabled and therefore a would be target for cruel children.
There is no need to fill the judicial court rooms up with cases that can be sorted out with common sense and a little bit of consideration.
The Mother of the wounded boy should ask herself, Why her son chooses to pick on Disabled people in the first place. Perhaps the Police should have the authority to give the boy a good Slap for being so cowardly and stupid in the first place. Old fashioned treatment didn't do the older generation any harm.
