READER HAS STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT LADY WHO SHOOTS INTO BOONIES KILLING TEEN BUT GETS NO PUNISHMENT

Read his/er thoughts and see if you don't agree.

Cut/pasted thoughts:
"Didn't I just say that the woman wouldn't be charged? I'm wondering if she's still going to be allowed to retain her weapons permit and handle weapons in the future. I guess the fact that it was at least negligence wasn't a consideration.
An Only on Guam and not at all surprising. This is tantamount to getting away with murder. All one has to do now is say they were shooting at dogs or pigs. Doesn't matter that you couldn't see them.
Glad she is not my neighbor. I'm sure to mind my own business from now on. No charges will be brought against woman arrested for shooting death of the teen."

Criminal charges against 54-year-old Linda Rabon Torres were dismissed today after a Superior Court grand jury handed a no true bill against the Yigo woman. Essentially the grand jury did not find enough evidence to charge Torres with a crime.
The 54-year-old was arrested following the shooting death of a 14-year-old boy. Police were investigating claims that Torres was firing her gun into the jungle area where dogs and pigs were fighting.
Court officials confirm the case against Torres has been closed.


I must agree with the reader. The woman used her gun recklessly. Someone should have been punished for that boy's life. We can't go shooting off our guns every time we hear noises. Did she bother calling 911 to report the noise or did she shoot first then call the police? I hope she remembers what the boy looked like dead on her property every time she closes her eyes before she sleeps, it'll be little consolation for the boy's parents and siblings.
Nice laws, ya think?
