Akron shooting

Post by OldManTod »

I can't get over the news lately, the one that is making me crazy is the report just came out that the young man committed suicide in the car.

What is making me blindly insane is his "friend" and his comments over the weekend. From the mouth of the ....... whatever he is:
"Yeah maaaan, I was in the passenger side and the cops, they just shoot him maaan, you know... he didn't have a gun, it was on the floor and the po-lice just shot him maaaaan"....

How in the flying flip can that story get mixed up. Follow me here kids:

Story from "the other occupant": The po-lice, they brutal man, they just reached in and shot him maaaan, they just shot him.

The Truth: The young man committed suicide.

I just don't get it, but I can tell you this much, a lawsuit will follow, from somebody, it could even be somebody in the neighborhood, "the po-lice fired their weapon and my delicate ear-drums were fouled, I am seeking compensatory damages".....

I just don't get it......

. . . fourth shot came at close-contact range into the right side of Vinson's head, just behind his right ear.
Odd spot for a self-inflicted wound.
Police are conducting gunshot residue tests on the hands of Vinson and Baker.
...wouldn't be surprised if he tested positive given the fatal wound location.

This whole thing is messed up. First the media report the kid was killed or murdered, depending on the newssource. Everyone I have heard comment about it doesnt want to adress the fact that there WAS a gun in the car, there WERE drug in the car, and a 15 year old was out at 3am.

Some people were even questing if it was ok for the oficer to shoot across (from the passenger side to the driver side) the passenger. By god, IF someone is going for a weapon, I would have taken the shot to protect myself and everyone else too.

I too question still if it was the officers bullet that kill the kid, or if he shot himself, but reguardless it appears that these two people, the 19yo and the 15yo were up to no good.

My question is this:

Why when the Officers carry the so called,dreaded,high grain, metal piercing bullets,they didn't just shoot the passenger and hit the driver at the same time.

Common sense can show that the two were out where they shouldn't have been at the oddest hour and they were up to 'looking for trouble".

Could have saved the taxpayers a lot of money. HHMMPPHH!! the only compensatory damages he should receive should be a LOONG time in the " Iron City Hotel."

One of tha major issues still is the way the media reported it. The 15yo lied to the reportes, and the make it out that the driver was innocent and was killed. The drugs and the gun are just a passing mention in the articles that were published.

You should be in Cincinnati. Every criminal that gets wacked or caught is a poor little darling that never done anything wrong. Then if you dig into the facts you'll find he had a rap sheet a mile long.. This goes on there every day.
