Related: About this forumSuspect dead after man with concealed carry permit intervenes in alleged carjacking in Orem
OREM, Utah A man with a concealed carry permit fatally shot a man in a Maceys parking lot after intervening in a carjacking in Orem Saturday morning, and so far police say the man will not face charges as it appears the shooting was justified.
The incident started at the Summit Ridge Apartment Complex in the area of 1700 S. 400 East when police were called to a fight at about 10:45 a.m. Five people, three women and two men, fled the scene in a vehicle.
FOX 13 News Robert Boyd reports a resident of an apartment was nearly hit at some point as the suspects drove through a grassy area during their escape.
I could have been hit, I was standing right here and they came up and the officer just followed pursuit, Witness Rae Eddy said.

so why your comment?

is justified, it means "MORE GUNSSSSS!!1!!"

Nobody has ever bothered to explain that.

(18,318 posts)9. Some consider the dead suspect a "Thug." What do you think?
I consider him to be a HyperPunk. Several felony warrants, stole one pickup, hijacked another, attacked an an armed citizen. And I don't even know his race. Still a HyperPunk; that is, an individual who has a record of felonious crimes, engages in persistent and aggravated violence, even when he should have opted for self-survival. You don't want some who's gone feral around you or anyone else.

Inquiring minds want to know.

(9,951 posts)3. It's directed towards a certain individual here. eom.

(5,946 posts)6. if this is meant for only one person, would it not be better taken to PM?
why post things that everyone can see if it is meant for one person? I thought that was against the rules, i.e. trolling like a net off the back of a fishing boat that catches too many fish.
