    Right, he wouldn't - but sickos like him never feel any loyalty to anyone and obviously don't care what happens to others. I hope he sings b/c that pen is so sloppily run and corrupt, they need to find out who helped them and let the heads roll and it sure wasn't just 1 or 2.

    I'm sure they're out there, but won't do them any good to whine and cry about this case. It's legal for a LEO to shoot a fleeing convicted felon.....

    I agree, although I think that the escape was perpetrated through a drug tunnel, they certainly didn't do all that work, and there will be no witnesses at the end of the day...

    That's all over - a criminal cannot profit from his/her crime by any book or movie deal. Someone like Ann Rule can write about him, sell her book to Hollywood and make millions and the killer, like Diane Downs, for example ...("Small Sacrifices") got nothing.....except life in prison.

    Wondering if the person who pays for the rights is allowed to give a percentage of the proceeds to the convicts family members.

    Either way, with this guy i don't think he cares. It'll be about ego, not money which he can't use anyway.

    yes, sometimes when the other criminal is killed the remaining criminals are charged with murder for their death

    the ones that helped him escape, are responsible for the inmates deaths....

    Not in there minds, if the person is unarmed NO lethal force can be used.

    Why not? It's their $$$ and that's a great gesture of kindness - make life a little easier for the other victims of the felon. I like that idea.

    People like Sweat & Matt are psychopaths - no conscience, no soul. Like you said - just ego. One of them - don't remember which one - has a brother who talked about his bro and he said w/him loose, he was scared his brother would find him and kill him. He had absolutely no doubt he would......

    Just heard on news that Sweat is in serious condition, but talking....

    Oklahoma has the law that if your partner in crime is killed during the commission of a crime, the other criminal is charged w/his murder. Good law! All states should have it........

    Now they can charge Sweat for Matt's death and I seriously doubt if that would send him into tears...... or make any diff in his future.

    As for Joyce Mitchell and the other prison employee who helped them escape, you betcha they should be charged w/whatever they can legally charge them with..... even illegally, I wouldn't care.......

    Yeah, I know. That's the problem w/the typical liberal mindset. There's a very blurry line b/t their world of fantasy and reality. They refuse to accept the fact that if that unarmed killer escapes, innocent people's lives are still in imminent danger.....

    unless there is a clear and present danger, lethal force should not be used

    in this case lethal force was necessary.....

    No that's not what the left has been saying, and even if there is a clear a present danger if unarmed no lethal force in fact let them run off and find them later.

    What clear and present danger did this guy pose, who was in imminent threat as he ran away? They hadn't killed anyone since escape and held no hostage and he was not armed.

    Michael Brown had threatened and fought with an officer and was then charging back at him when lethal force was used and that has been called an unlawful shooting by the left because Brown was unarmed.

    this is a case of a convicted murderer on the loose, getting ready to run back into the woods, this is not the same as someone suspected of jaywalking or something, this is a murderer that escaped from prison...

    the cop grabbed Michael Brown threw the car windows and he tried to escape, the gun accidentally went off while the cop tried to draw it to shoot the teen, the teen was shot accidentally at that point, he fled out of panic, he was out of breath and was giving himself up and the cop unloaded his entire gun into the teen... big difference

    WOW! So you were actually THERE in Ferguson and witness everything from start to finish! Did you tell the Grand Jury what you witnessed first hand? Why didn't MB's pal who was there all along testify to what yo witnessed?

    Come on! Don't try t o hi-jack this thread into a MBrown one.....

    be nice if the cop wore a copcam wouldn't it.... sense he wasn't we just have to go with what we feel the evidence says.... my opinion is as valid as yours as you were not their either

    there was no trial, so we will never know all the facts.... had there been a trial the friend would of testified to what he witnessed

    I did not bring up MBrown, tell the poster that did.... I was just responding to the post... but I am glad to drop the matter and move on with the topic

    Eric Holder's Dept of Justice did their own investigation into the MB case after the Grand Jury acquitted him and came up w/NOTHING to incriminate officer Wilson of any wrongdoing. The DOJ. That should tell the armchair detectives 'the end, now move on'.........

    the grand jury doesn't acquit anyone, they just say if there is enough evidence to proceed or not

    as I have said many times, everything could of played out as I stated and if the cop was really afraid for his life (rightly or wrongly) he was justified to kill an unarmed man

    it's like the cop that killed the child with a toy gun.... the cop was wrong.... but still justified if he truly feared for his life, so do not confuse the two, being justified doesn't mean the cop was right, just that the cop was afraid

    but were straying off topic again.....

    As I understand it, summary execution is somewhat frowned upon in nations with the rule of law.

    I think prison guards in the US can shoot a prisoner trying to escape....

    an escaped murderer doesn't have the same rights the rest of us have

    Absolutely true, as they did - but once he's incapacitated you don't get to calmly walk over to him and blow his brains out for fun. Not even ISIS kills people in their sleep lol.

    The Supreme Court has ruled that a fleeing felon can be shot. That includes convicted felons, and those with probable cause of committing a felony, like battery on a cop.

    So how is "the rest of us" defined?

    Agreed. And I'd watch the movie. I know these are real bad guys, but I find the whole thing fascinating.
