Sheriff Grady Judd: Polk County homeowner shoots, kills burglar

A double date turned deadly early Saturday morning when a man broke into a woman's home to retrieve his girlfriend after a heated argument, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

[@roncaron8939]

The job of any officer of the law, is to gather evidence, not to feed "hearsay" to the public. His statement, is called "poisoning the well!" or "A Rush To Judgement!" 'You can't have a fair trial, when someone in charge, feeds an 'opinions", not facts, to the public! Who knows if the person who is said to be the shooter was actually the shooter or if the windows were broken before or after the shooting or if the tire iron had the dead guys fingerprints on it. The sheriff contradicted himself several times. At one point he said it was the "victims" home at another point, he said the home belonged to the shooter, who was not the girlfriend of the victim. No proof YET, that the women inside are actually victims. He said that the other guy in the car, was "sober!" It's a little sketchy that a self proclaimed "sober" guy, allowed himself to driven around by a drunk driver! The sober guy, witnessed the victim banging on the front door and he allowed the drunk (dead guy) to remove a tire iron from the car and brake a window. You would think a sober guy might have tried to stop him or to have dialed 911. He wasn't busy, defending himself. The forensics evidence gathering truck was still was still at the scene, witch means that the evidence hadn't been examined. No Coroners report, to prove that they body had or hadn't been tampered with. No firearms report that says that the wounds were consistent with what the shooter claimed happened. The Sheriff was totally irresponsible and shouldn't have given out any info other then "a shooting has happened and a crime is being investigated." You could not be a Juror on the case, because you have already preconceived, opinion, based on the sheriffs irresponsible "Rush To Judgement!"

It's a little sketchy that a self proclaimed "sober" guy, allowed himself to driven around by a drunk driver! The sober guy, witnessed the victim banging on the front door and he allowed the drunk (dead guy) to remove a tire iron from the car, kick and shout and bang on the door and brake a window. You would think a sober guy might have tried to stop him or to have dialed 911. Didn't he know his girlfriend had a gun and might use it? He wasn't busy, defending himself. No word as to weather the 2 woman were drunk or sober. The women had to have known that the person, banging on the door and saying "if you don't let me in, i'll brake in. She had time to get her gun, so she was occupied, but the "girlfriend" could have dialed 911. The forensics evidence gathering truck was still was still at the scene, witch means that the evidence hadn't been examined. No Coroners report, to prove that they body had or hadn't been tampered with. No firearms report that says that the wounds were consistent with what the shooter claimed happened.

@@chrissuave92 It is generally a bad idea to paint with such broad brushes. Personally I consider myself a progressive when it comes to most social issues and economically left leaning. I also support federalism and local governance. On the other hand I support gun ownership and the right to defend ones home and curtilage, with deadly force, as the us supreme and circuit courts have deemd American's Right. A mentality of "the stupid liberals" and equivalents of the other side, prevent progress on issues which both sides would mostly agree on. There's literally nothing to come of it but anger and frustration. EDIT: Conversation is also the only tool at your disposal to change peoples minds. If you want to make systemic political change, you need to speak to people who may not see things like you their voice counts at the ballet box. If changing minds is not the goal then it just boils down to venting frustration, in turn stoking the fire of the debate, driving division and stalling things getting done.

I really like this officer. He uses common sense, uses good judgment, honest, doesn’t take any nonsense from his employees or citizens who are in the wrong. And if you’re in the right you’re OK with him. You know where you stand with him before and after you do something. This is the way lawn Forssman should be. I have so much respect for this officer. He’s a great leader. He doesn’t put up with any foolishness. No nonsense. I wish our politicians use a good common sense like this guy does. This is not about whether you can own a gun or not wanna go to defend yourself or whatever. It’s about staying alive and not being harmed by somebody else trying to harm you. I’m not for sure don’t want to ever have to hurt anyone. But if I’m going to protect my family myself I’m going to. At the end of the night if it’s going to be the criminal or me going home it’s gonna be me going home. I’d prefer the criminal go to jail but if I have to defend myself I would. Hopefully I will never have to defend myself from a criminal and hopefully if I had an affair myself I wouldn’t have to kill anybody. But sometimes you got to do what you Got to do what you Gotta do. People should use good judgment especially backing off the alcohol knowing when to stop drinking. Having an occasional drink is not a big deal getting drunk and doing stupid things will get you in trouble or worse. Staying within the law and doing the right thing.

If marijuana were legal, then that would stop a lot of criminality related to it immediately.
