Dear Mona Charen, America will never be free until politicians stop giving Taxpayers money away to illegitimates having more illegitimates that's creating 'TERRORISM ON AMERICA SOIL!' ILLEGITIMATE MOMS ARE TO BLAME FOR HAVING ILLEGITIMATES BY THE DOZENS, AND IT'S THE POLITICIANS FAULT FOR GIVING THEM TAXPAYERS MONEY 'JUST TO GET ELECTED!
IT'S YOUR LIFE OR THEIRS - DO YOU THINK THESE ILLEGITIMATE PUNKS, OF ALL RACES, CARE IF THEY SHOOT, KILL, MAIM, OR RAPE YOU? TRUST ME, THEY DON'T!
*******BEST SOLUTION:GO BACK TO STERILIZATION (KINDA LATE, THOUGH); SEND
THEM TO A COUNTRY THAT CAN HANDLE THEM; MAKE THEM WORK TO
SURVIVE, EAT AND SLEEP; NO HANDOUTS, GOVERNMENT AID, OR MONEY SHOULD BE
GIVEN TO THEM; IF YOU DON'T EARN IT, YOU DON'T EAT OR SLEEP, JUST THAT
SIMPLE! TIME TO GO BACK TO THE 'OLD-FASHIONED WAY OF LIVING, DON'T YOU
THINK SO?'
IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME HARD, CRITICAL DECISIONS TO CLEAN UP AMERICA, BUT
NOW'S THE TIME TO START!
AS LONG AS THESE 'AMERICAN PUNK TERRORISTS' ARE ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN AMERICA, NO ONE
IS SAFE 'EVEN TO GOT GET GROCERIES', AS ALL ILLEGITIMATES HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY ONES RAISING
THEM - 'YOU'RE ENTITLED!' SO STOP THE 'DON'T HURT MY BABIES' CRAP, AS YOU'RE
THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS YOU'VE CREATED IN AMERICA.
ILLEGITIMATES HAVE HAD THE BEST, WITHOUT HAVING TO WORK OR HAVE ANY
RESPONSIBILITY! TAXPAYERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FURNISH SCHOOLS (ENDLESS MONEY
PITS, ALSO), FOOD, MEDICINES, HOUSING, AMBULANCES,HOSPITALS, CLOTHES,AND
THIS WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH FOR THEM! WITH TRILLIONS OWED, THAT TAXPAYERS DIDN'T CONSENT TO BORROWING, WOULDN'T IT BE A GOOD IDEA TO SEND THESE PEOPLE, WITH JUST THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACK, ALONG WITH POLITICIANS, TO A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN ALL LEARN 'COMMON SENSE' TOGETHER, LEARN HOW TO WORK LONG HARD HOURS TO FEED THEMSELVES, WITH NOTHING LEFT OVER, JUST LIKE THEY'VE DONE THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER?

WAKE UP, AMERICA! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME! I HATE VIOLENCE, BUT 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE AND A TOOTH FOR
A TOOTH' IS LOOKING STRONGER EVERYDAY!' As for the following story, in all morning news, it broke my heart to see him arrested for protecting himself.
*******TURN THIS MAN LOOSE, THIS MAN ISN'T GUILTY OF ANYTHING - HE DIDN'T CREATE THE PROBLEMS, POLITICIANS DID! EVERYONE IS
GOING TO HAVE TO BUY FIREARMS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, AND GUESS WHAT, THESE
PEOPLE KNOW THIS AND THIS IS WHY THEY CONTINUE STEALING, RAPING, MAIMING,
KILLING, AS THEY KNOW THEY'RE 'PROTECTED' BY POLITICIANS WHO CONTINUE TO GET
ELECTED BY THEM! DON'T CLOSE GITMO! IT'S REALLY NEEDED FOR CRIMINALS!

Oklahoman, Paul B. Southerland
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Confronted by two holdup men, pharmacist Jerome Ersland
pulled a gun, shot one of them in the head and chased the other away. Then,
in a scene recorded by the drugstore's security camera, he went behind the
counter, got another gun, and pumped five more bullets into the wounded
teenager as he lay on the floor.

Now Ersland has been charged with first-degree murder in a case that has
stirred a furious debate over vigilante justice and self-defense and turned
the pharmacist into something of a folk hero.

Ersland, 57, is free on $100,000 bail, courtesy of an anonymous donor. He
has won praise from the pharmacy's owner, received an outpouring of cards,
letters and checks from supporters, and become the darling of conservative
talk radio.

"His adrenaline was going. You're just thinking of survival," said John Paul
Hernandez, 60, a retired Defense Department employee who grew up in the
neighborhood. "All it was is defending your employee, business and
livelihood. If I was in that position and that was me, I probably would have
done the same thing."

District Attorney David Prater said Ersland was justified in shooting
16-year-old Antwun Parker once in the head, but not in firing the additional
shots into his belly. The prosecutor said the teenager was unconscious,
unarmed, lying on his back and posing no threat when Ersland fired what the
medical examiner said were the fatal shots.

Anthony Douglas, president of the Oklahoma chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People, called it an
"execution-style murder" and praised the district attorney for bringing
charges. Ersland is white; the two suspects were black.

Parker's parents also expressed relief that Ersland faces a criminal charge.

"He didn't have to shoot my baby like that," Parker's mother, Cleta
Jennings, told TV station KOCO.

But many of those who have seen the video of the May 19 robbery attempt at
Reliable Discount Pharmacy have concluded the teenager in the ski mask got
what he deserved.

Mark Shannon, who runs a conservative talk show on Oklahoma City's KTOK,
said callers have jammed his lines this week in support of Ersland, a former
Air Force lieutenant colonel who wears a back brace on the job and told
reporters he is a disabled veteran of the Gulf War.

"There is no gray area," Shannon said. One caller "said he should have put
all the shots in the head."

Don Spencer, a 49-year-old National Rifle Association member who lives in
the small town of Meridian, 40 miles north of Oklahoma City, said the
pharmacist did the right thing: "You shoot more than enough to make sure the
threat has been removed."

Barbara Bergman, past president of the National Association of Criminal
Defense Lawyers and a professor at the University of New Mexico School of
Law, likened the public reaction to that of the case of Bernard Goetz, the
New Yorker who shot four teenagers he said were trying to rob him when they
asked for $5 on a subway in 1984.

Goetz was cleared of attempted murder and assault but convicted of illegal
gun possession and served 8 1/2 months in jail.

Bergman said those who claim they used deadly force in self-defense have to
show they were "in reasonable fear of serious bodily injury."

The pharmacy is in a crime-ridden section of south Oklahoma City and had
been robbed before.

The video shows two men bursting in, one of them pointing a gun at Ersland
and two women working with the druggist behind the counter. Ersland fires a
pistol, driving the gunman from the store and hitting Parker in the head as
he puts on a ski mask.

Ersland chases the second man outside, then goes back inside, walks behind
the counter with his back to Parker, gets a second handgun and opens fire.

Irven Box, Ersland's attorney, noted the outpouring of support for the
pharmacist, including $2,000 in donations, and said: "I feel very good 12
people would not determine he committed murder in the first degree."

Under Oklahoma's "Make My Day Law" - passed in the late 1980s and named for
one of Clint Eastwood's most famous movie lines - people can use deadly
force when they feel threatened by an intruder inside their homes. In 2006,
Oklahoma's "Stand Your Ground Law" extended that to anywhere a citizen has
the right to be, such as a car or office.

"It's a 'Make-My-Day' case," Box said. "This guy came in, your money or your
life. Mr. Ersland said, `You're not taking my life.'" The gunman "forfeited
his life."

Box said that another person might have reacted differently, but he asked:
"When do you turn off that adrenaline switch? When do you think you're safe?
I think that's going to be the ultimate issue."

If convicted, Ersland could be sentenced to life in prison with or without
parole, or receive the death penalty.

Jevontia Ingram, the 14-year-old boy accused of wielding the gun in the
robbery, was arrested Thursday. The district attorney on Friday filed a
first-degree murder charge against him, as well as against a man accused of
being the getaway driver, and another man suspected of helping talk the
teens into the crime.

The charges accuse all three of sharing responsibility for Parker's shooting
death.
