Teen shot, killed while stealing rim

what is/are rims?

[videoholic]

You start with stealing rims, then your stealing cars.  Then you are taking people\'s cars at gun point.

Sucks for aomeone to die, but hey, he chose to steal.  They do far worse to people in other countries so whatever.

if you wanna steal something, you have to face the consequences, being either beaten up in jail, shot or what ever.....

he took the risk, the risk did not pay off

Never stolen one thing in my life.

me either, dunno if thats to be proud of or not???

well i guess i have kinda, but not on purpose, ive bought say a £ 10 phone voucher, but they gave me 2.... or one time i bought a mag ( ops2 which is £5.50), and lots of other stuff, s n crisps, pot noodles, choc, drink etc, and it came to about £4

The what? Murder for no reason...Serial killing?? Eating ppl?

Next you will be spewing the mary jane propaganda being a gateway like I see you did above.


politepet...rims as the are often refeered to are just wheels for a car. Most only call them rims when someone has bought a set of aftermarket ones, usually coupled with expsensive tires as well.

rims are hubcaps aren\'t they? either that or there just the alloy part of the wheel (which would mean you\'d have to steal the whole thing/wheel).

hubcaps are exactly what they are.  A cap that fits on your wheel.  It\'s what many low budget cars have.  Basic no big whoop wheels and then covers.

so the guy was stealing hupcaps or alloy wheels?

he deserves to get shot if he was stealing hubcaps.

=loser.

Well if the guy knew he was in no danger at all. I don\'t think he should have killed the boy.

I mean you never know you look out and see someone stilling your rims whos to say they don\'t have gun. That is a risk you take with stealing.

Kill someone because he was stealing rims???Its like sentencing someone to death for stealing.What age are we living?The Cowboy age?

I kind of agree with lukee but I would have done it a bit different.  

If I caught somebody trying to steal my car, I will grab my USP and yell "freeze or I\'ll fire", if he freeze then I\'ll tell my mom or someone in the house to call the cops, if not I\'ll "shoot to stop" I do not want this kid to run away free as he might come back to try to steal my ride again.  And remember don\'t do this if your the only one in the house that knows how to fire a gun.  You need at least someone else there to back you up in a situation like this ( maybe that\'s why I train my GF and mother to at least know how to make some decent shoots)

Lukee\'s right, it doesn\'t justify in killing somebody just for some rims, but it does to me at least to keep him off the street, again meaning shoot to stop.  Not shoot to kill.

I agree the guy overstepped his bounds with what luckee pointed out.  But the dude shouldn\'t have been stealing them in the first place so I don\'t feel sorry for him.

I suppose breaking and entering is not grounds for shooting the intruder as well.

And should the criminal hurt himself stealing my rims, I would probably be responsible for it if he pulled his back muscle.

Have I ever stolen anything in my life? Well....let\'s see. I took a mint on the way out of a restaurant. I think that was free. Um...oh yeah, I bought a jacket for 80% off. It was a STEAL!

If you were stealing food, that\'s one thing. But to steal rims? Nope. You will pay dearly. Comes with the territory, boyz and goyles. When you steal, don\'t expect luckee to be there to wag his finger at you as he says "That\'s a no no!". More than likely, you\'ll meet someone like me who\'ll bash your skull in with a sledge hammer. You\'re stealing from me. My hard earned property? God be with you if I catch you.

"The owner, while armed with a handgun, confronted the males, and a shot was fired while he was trying to apprehend the males," Yates said.

Andrew, who had recently finished the ninth grade at John A. Rowland High School, was found dead in the back seat of an abandoned gray, late-model Ford Mustang. It was parked on the front lawn of the boy\'s home in the 18600 block of Barroso Street. A large hole had been blasted into the back window at head level.  

It doesn\'t seem that the guy tried to kill the kid. It seem\'s to me that the guy most likely took a wild shot at the car as it was driving away. The blasted out back window give\'s me that idea. I don\'t think the kid should have died but I don\'t feel sorry for him or his family...
