Will the prosecutor punk out again?

The thief picked the wrong car to steal. The owner and his roommate stopped his sorry ass, and now he's in the hospital in critical condition. Reading part of his rap sheet contained in the article, no one should even give a shit about him. The world will be better off if the fucker dies.

But it may not be.

The asshole who has the final say is the Pierce County Prosecutor, who happens to be the same dipshit that prosecuted Fred Sims for manslaughter when he shot a fleeing thief a few years ago. You see, he'd rather we all be victims so he can justify a larger budget and more cops to give us case numbers while our insurance rates go out the roof.

Hopefully, the shithead will find that there are some differences that warrant no prosecution of these two heroes. First, this low-life motherfucker is 27, not 15. Second, this scumbag did not get away with the car as did the dead little punk in Sims' case. Finally, it looks like the cops are on the victim's side in this case.

There are bound to be some dumbshits who think a car isn't worth a human life, and will think that ethic is up to the car's owner to think about. I happen to agree with the premise, but I think it's up to the thieves to take that into account. There should be a law that it's justifiable to stop a car thief up to, and including, killing the motherfucker.

Oh wait . . . we do.

That's my take.

The pathetic bastard died yesterday after being removed from life support. My sympathy to his family that has had to endure this asshole's life of crime, but loved his sorry ass anyway.

The Pierce County Prosecutor will not file charges against the intended victim of theft and his roommate. The only thing that could give this a better ending is if we find out some worthwhile people got some needed organs from the worthless piece of shit who died.
