It is sickening, and it’s a sign of the times, people are too busy to raise their children and instill humane attributes as a part of their character, no sympathy, empathy, or compassion, children learn to dismiss these feelings when interacting with others, because public schools are now programming the psyches and behavioral composition by intervening and re prioritizing the order of critical mutually beneficial & supportive constructive interactive values, What’s missing- Sympathy Empathy Compassion Sincerity Integrity Composure Self Control Discipline Honor Self Awareness Humility Shame Regret Remorse Generosity Respect Kindness Affection Mutuality Pity Grief Guilt Responsibility What’s Commonly Widespread And Undeserved - Pride Entitlement Self Righteousness Superiority Eligibility Immune Empowered Exclusive Privileged Indifferent Desensitized Immoral Overrated Im at a loss for words, but they only think about themselves, and can’t attribute the relevance between what harm they’ve caused others to suffer, to the way they feel when it happens to them, they feel like they’re above the law, culpability, responsibility, shame, dishonor, they have a complete mindset based upon a pre conditioned state of moral turpitude, instilled by the social machine.

In much of the U.S. there is "felony murder". If you are committing a felony, and ANYBODY gets killed, that is felony murder. Not only would it apply here, it would even apply if the third robber was the one who got tangled in the rope and killed.

[@weirddan455]

I was going to comment this. Although it's more broad (I think you can be charged with this if some has a heart attack and dies as a result of the shock of you robbing them for example), it's not usually going to be a life sentence. It's considered a lesser crime than first degree murder, maybe on par with manslaughter, though I'm not a lawyer.

As infuriating as it is, the Prosecutors putting murder down had a tough job to begin with. They had to prove that these guys intentionally committed the murder beyond any reasonable doubt. They all still got many years in prison for manslaughter. There are other cases where the prosecution overreached a bit with a murder charge instead of manslaughter

[@svampebob007]

In the US it would have been felony murder, in that if someone dies during the commission of a felony the criminals can be charged with 1st degree murder. It frequently happens even when a party to the crime is killed.

It'd be called capital murder,which is a much more serious offense than just first degree murder. In states like Texas and Colorado, people who committ crimes like that,are considered adults. Therefore they'd be charged as adults.

The car was finally stopped by another deputy who jumped in through the driver's window and pulled the shifter into park. I know that even in my short time of being dragged I was terrified, and pissed off. I cannot imagine the horror that PC Harper must have felt, knowing that this was not going to end well.

It didnt do us any bad we were scared of our moms never mind our dads lol.

I have several friends from the Army who went on to become Police Officers all around the US and it's the same story with them all. They arrest people for serious crimes that include weapon charges (guns, knives) just to discover they already have a dozen or so charges / convictions for violent crimes with and without weapons that they received little to no time for and or were out on bail or probation. Then they have the same result with the NEW charges. The biggest question my friends say they have with people they arrest with firearms isn't "why do these people have access to guns." it's "Why are these people not in prison still."

There are plenty of rough areas and I am guessing there are all from them but sometimes they come from loving homes and their parents could have a bit of money and still they could commit crimes this vicious. Killing an officer of the law is serious as well as a person off the streets but an officer they will nickname them cop killers but they wont even care.

Yeah John you are the best story teller of all of KZbin. I listen to your podcast, but I really like watching you tell the stories and the fact that you show pictures of the person's invoked in the stories. Keep on telling stories. Plus you are not bad on the eyes either!

[@PhilRewa]

Excellent story telling here!

[@maehartley6620]

This episode actually made me cry. So sad 😢

[@laurarigiani3483]

Thank you for telling a UK story. This was horrific to everyone in my country especially because our justice system was way too lenient on these monsters

[@captainbarn]

when a situation like this happens, I can only hope someone with a sense of street justice comes along and takes care of it Soprano style.

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

Let's hope someone bribes the other inmates to handle these little miscarriages that didn't flush!! Their screams would be sooooo soothing. Live-Stream please!! 🤣

[@francisaiello289]

As it is here also... on the wrong occasion!!!

[@brucerex151]

Can a GoFundMe be set up for any fellow inmate that coincidentally meets out some street justice?

[@Bef.6669]

This happened 10 minutes down the road from me, and I kept up with the story while it was ongoing, I've been watching you from pretty much the start give or take a few months, it felt very surreal to hear you talk about Andrew today, and I thank you for doing it, he deserves to be known as the hero he was ❤️

[@WorthlessDeadEnd]

And his killers deserve to be exposed for the monsters they are. May they never find stable employment, and may they starve to death, alone, ignored and forgotten by society. 😡

I’m from the midlands Bethany and this was horrible such a lovely bloke and these animals will come out and go straight back into crime it’s just horrific the whole story

[@MrVee-wt9sy]

I had to drive past that crime scene everyday to get to work... Was horrible to see when you found out what happened! My heart still goes out to his family

[@lookfor125]

Damn,why doesn’t your country have the death penalty?

Somehow, these stories that would usually ruin my day just by hearing them, are respectfully entertaining & enlightening here. That's quite the accomplishment! ..I came to check out this channel because Gus & Woody from DIVE TALK highly recommended it, & ever since then I've been hooked. Thanks again Mr. B. Allen

[@Islandgirl2133]

Thank you Mr Ballen, horrific story. So sad. Harpers Law is new knowledge to me and many others I’m sure. Thank you for sharing your fantastic story telling talents. On that note, I’d like to encourage everybody to cultivate, pursue and express your talents. Can you imagine if we all just blossomed? Rest in peace Andrew, (Protector). Your death created law where there was none. A golden law to protect the protectors. Love to Andrews family💜.

I would just like to add: Lissie Harper is the definition of grace, strength, and courage through unimaginable times. And at such a young age ❤

Yeah, sure, “they tried to save his life, but andrews injuries were catastrophic, he had been DESTROYED” says Mr. Ballen😂😂😂😂

[@NoseyNuNu]

The injustice is outrageous! I feel horrible for his family especially wife. Im thankful her law passed and pray its beey successful in the future. This so heartbreaking 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️

[@nicoledion7132]

Such emotional to watch! 😢😢😢😢😢

[@Sorchia56]

I’m still gutted from this case. Believe me, many are furious that these 3 got off and acted so callously. No one would be surprised if something ‘unfortunate’ happened to the maggots in or out of prison. Thank you for covering it. Poor Lissie and the families.

[@shydinero6697]

Yea somebody definitely gone mess them up in jail I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one of the guards

[@kwhufc5769]

It's a shame the case can't be brought back now with Harper's law and regarded as an unjust verdict, in the sense be given life sentences for it

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

Nothings going to happen to them. The fact that they were given manslaughter by a jury in the face of how horrific this was instead of murder just shows how feckless Brits are. The police don't even carry guns - why should anyone fear them or care when facing off against them? Maybe if Andrew had a gun he would have been able to shoot the kid and/or the car/tire. He didn't stand a chance as it was. Also, Lissie got that law changed but, if they really writing a book for profit, it sounds like she should be fighting to have another law created - the inability to profit from your crime. In the US, you are not allowed to profit off of your crime. If you can do that in the UK, then she should be filing a lawsuit against the boys so that she could get all proceeds from the book so they can never make any money off of it.

[@nhmooytis7058]

Would be a shame eh 🤣🤣🤣.

[@ashleyflores4397]

​@@mortimerbrewster3671 There is a 0.0000001% chance Andrew could have fired an accurate round whilst being dragged at 50mph+ and getting slammed into trees, and a 100% chance of being sacked/arrested if he shot a 17 year old who was stealing a quadbike. If the shitheads decide to release a book, the money should go to Andrew's family though for sure.

[@dylanw6088]

Man that is so sad. A person like Andrew could have brought so much more light to this world. His actions that night were truly so selfless. People like these are not respected enough. I hope he rests in peace and his family is able to cope with the tremendous loss. Thanks Mrballen

[@TimJSwan]

Well, now I want to pay a visit to the UK for once, and for a specific reason.

[@Hangar1318]

So true. People like these that nobody knows about bring much more light to the world than so many celebrities who bask in their popularity in a vulgar way and don't even contribute a fraction of what people like Andrew contribute to the society.

[@IsraelCountryCube]

@@TimJSwan I think I get the implication that it's not nice lol.

[@IsraelCountryCube]

Agree Andrew is great man. Hes a police officer and not in cowardice like me he's awesome!

@@TimJSwan I know your intentions but never go through with them if you don't want to end up as a MrBallen story
