The elderly Wallace, who has no criminal record, didn't just helplessly lie there and watch them drive away. He called 911 and yelled at them to stop; but they ignored his alarm, almost running him over in the process.
He hastily fired two shots with his legally-owned-and-licensed gun at the pick-up, which resulted in wounding one of the men; and, like many upside-down judgments in Obama's America, it is he, not the criminals, who is now facing twelve felony counts, including four counts of attempted first degree murder. A conviction could give him life behind bars.
Even though both thieves are illegal aliens with prior arrest records--including driving without insurance or a license, fighting, trespassing, motor vehicle theft--and even though one of the hispanics confessed to the brazen theft and to nearly running down Wallace, neither have been charged with anything yet for this latest crime. They won't even be deported.
Neighbors don't understand Wallace's arrest and say he should instead be given an award for protecting the neighborhood.
Defending your property isn't a crime in Colorado unless, it seems, you defend it effectively by using a firearm. The officials in that state don't like citizens to protect themselves with firearms. Apparently, that is a greater crime than illegal trespassing or auto theft. That type of sick logic follows through, though, when you consider that in Denver, politicians have promoted sanctuary city policies to where illegal aliens are given more rights than citizens.
If you wish to express your thoughts to someone involved with this insanity, here is the DA you may contact: Scott Storey, District Attorney, 500 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO 80401 303-271-6800 or email him at: http://www.co.jefferson.co.us/da/da_T99_R94.htm
