If you are going to mug someone in Worcester...

Choosing the District Attorney is probably not a good idea.

Mr. Early is in his 50's and just had his 5th child, a baby girl 2 weeks ago. I think Joe would have thrashed this kid if not for his position and family. Knuckle head. Not a good idea to try and strong arm the highest LE official in the county...

wonder if he can use the court directed reason to stay away from the victim to stay away from the court as well

Happy endings are always nice, the thief was caught and will get what he deserves.

I notice a conspicuous lack of the obligatory "police don't recommend anyone taking such action in to their own hands" in the article.... I suppose it is because this story involves the DA, not just your average [STRIKE=peon]peon[/STRIKE] citizen.

when i go to worcester i switch to the full size glock from the compact.

 

[davemata]

I bet Gemme will bend earth and air to make sure justice is done here.

After all, it impacted the buddy club.

 

[Rick Roma]

So when will the DA be answering charges for assaulting the robber?

Why not carry both.. Just in case.

 

[AngelKing]

screw him.

he's the first one that's going to come after a citizen who defends him or her self. Too bad the perp didn't take his cash - its a lesson he should learn.

a**h***.

only one holster. for how i want to carry it.

 

[KenK]

Now if he had been carrying ...maybe things would have been different!!! He wouldn't needed the extra help.

Wait a minute!! Joe did you say you got ANGRY?? Slammed him against the wall?? How come when my father was attacked by 4 men and I got ANGRY; and defended him you tried to prosecute me????????

Thought you couldn't defend PROPERTY in Massachusetts? Or does that only apply to lower citizens? I'd like to see the DA sued in civil court... AND brought up on assault charges. Maybe THAT would open up some eyes as to how backwards this state is.

Yes, a clear failure to retreat...

Wow. Really?

How is that axe you're grinding...?

 

[JSnaxx]

He's not wrong. Worcester hates the idea of you defending yourself. Why should he be held to a higher standard?

 

[Boris]

no shit, DA should have called 911 instead of hurting the robber. WTF, didn't he listen to Marsha advising against "self-help", what a POS!

I hate him and I hate Worcester.

This guy will get special treatment because he is in a higher position. Screw him. It's all 1 big circle jerk.

 

[JSnaxx]

Ahhh a business owner with video footage and a liquor license paying the city large sums of money in taxes.... Perfect example. Never mind the fact that the superior court has no problem charging people with murder and letting them fight themselves out. Or the COP saying "We don't need armed civilians patrolling the streets" because that's what his police are for. . . Worcester is all about self defense...

 

[ntomsw]

If I did that, I'd be in jail, with a loss of LTC.

That's a brilliant comment. I would love to know more about that.
