a 72-year-old alzheimer suffer was shot dead
after he wandered into the front yard up a man living in Georgia
now %uh Ronald Westbrook
has been suffering with Alzheimer's for a while now and he had left his home
with the two dogs
hours later he knocked on the door 34-year-old Jo Hendrix
and it was very late at night Joe hendrix's fiance was concerned about it
so they called authorities
however after calling authorities hendrix went outside his home
and shot the seven th 72-year-old dead up he says
that Westbrook had knocked on the door attempted to turn the knob
and then went toward the back yard and then came back to the front door
and proceeded to attempt to open it again now that of what hendrix alleging
we don't know exactly what happened that night
obviously there are no other witnesses other than the fiance
up but another important thing to point out is that
a few days earlier %uh the fiance said that
someone had tried to knock on the door and and said that they were looking for
a a person that they didn't know and the fiance was very frightened by that
incident so after this followed it
they were worried that someone was kinda out to get them so
I think this story shows that people who say guns don't kill people people kill
people
is wrong and the
so he the guy who want to do any killing
up only got the gun after the fiance was worried about the guy coming to the door
right and so if West Toronto Westbrook had stumbled into their
neighborhood no couple weeks or couple months earlier
be modified that he might have it he would have been fun
here's a guy wouldn't have got and he might have scared he might have gotten a
bad
any maybe swings the bat because he said the guy kept coming towards them
as well as lawyer says trade and he wouldn't respond to hey who are you et
cetera
right and i actually look fact pattern that his lawyer has established gives
you some sympathy for the guy who did the shooting
right now remembered sizzler there's nobody else disputing a ride
raw West prison around tell his side of the story by the guy says look you know
there was a previous incident
I told him not come any further I was scared I was scared my fiance
I don't wanna Weekly bust through the door and he was in coherent so scared
so do I believe under that back pattern that he was scared yes
but that's why you should never gone okay know here's why you shouldn't do
you shouldn't get outside your home and start shooting your gun
I can understand if you're scared in that scenario because what they have
police documents indicating that incident did happen prior to the
shooting range
so I can totally understand being afraid right but
I believe that a rational human being who feel that their life is in jeopardy
with stay inside their home at do if someone breaks
into the home that's when I feel like you were justified in using your firearm
but that is not what happened in this case
right you walk out your home then you're putting yourself in danger
yeah and look no one can comment on this better than i cant cuz
someone broke in my home in a very similar fact pattern
except they were massively high on drugs and they seemed a lot more of style
in fact just like the previous incident that they to the lawyer talks about
guy came in he thought he was looking for somebody's like always Brian home
and he knocks on a dorm somebody that was the
state in that room it was so scary but I i said
after the incident I'm glad there was no guns in the house right
right because when they got and in our case the guy actually broke into the
house
provide a gun my kids are in the house I got a whole bunch of family members in
the house
you would have used I got no I don't know if I want to use my god
but there was a chance and like I would be dead for no reason
go Gators I'm just hop right this case the guy happen to have a ball size
now look weaker recovery case in the past a
recently over after americans who'd been shot one guy goes knocks on the door
right and then he wonders when the cops kill 'em let me let me be specific about
those cases so there was the case in nineteen year old tradition mcbride
and she was shot and killed in the face near Detroit should got into a car
accident
a few hours after the accident she wandered into a neighboring neighborhood
knocked on someone's door
and the man said that he was frightened he shot her in the face she died
the other case was 24-year-old Jonathan for out here also got into a car
accident
wander into someone's are in front of someone's home not looking for help
that person called the police when the police showed up they immediately
detained him they said that he was coming for the police
they taste them and then they shot him 10 times a
killing him so in all three cases they're all dead
but now to have a bf america is in this case so why ca
right and so it's not just based on race it's based on god's
it was the lesson you learn from this is when you
ask american for help you put your life in Para
cuz there's some percentage chance we're gonna shoot you in the face
be is everybody's locked and loaded someone can't wait to use our guys in
this case
family members above the guy who's been arrested say he's
absolutely distraught and that he's not a gun-toting guy you just scared
the mm might be true but that's why you should never got the first place cuz
when you have guns
more people die not less people more people die
and now if I'm hurt I and I'm in america
there's no way I and knock on somebody's door I'll take my chances bleeding
in the middle of the street %um ago not have somebody's or
hammy we note that about half americans on a got
you play with your life by asking for an american for help how sad is that
