Gateway Pundit- An American hero could spend the rest of his life in prison following an act of vigilantism in far-left Colorado.
As The New York Post reported on Wednesday, 29-year-old Orest Schur was sentenced to a whopping 54 years behind bars on August 15 by a Democrat judge for killing a 14-year-old named Xavier Kirk back in 2023 after the teen tried to steal his car outside his home.
A 13-year-old accomplice was also injured in the attack but survived. Schur fired multiple rounds at both youths as they sped away in a getaway vehicle.
District Court Judge Caryn A. Datz of Adams County, who was appointed by then Democratic Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper back in 2018, said there was no excuse for Schur killing Kirk. more here
If they were speeding away, his life was not in danger. Bad call to shoot in that situation. Feel for the guy. Frankly, I don’t care if the thieving little shitbag is dead, but self-defense laws are pretty clear about shooting at people off your property, running away, and not in the act of causing you imminent harm.
I agree with TheMule. I don’t want to, but I have to. 🙁
Perhaps he can appeal for a sentence reduction.
Did they prosecute the scumbag car theif that survived?
I HAD A SIMILAR SITUATION @ ABOUT 0230 SATURDAY, POSTED BEFORE HERE
IN MY CASE, THE LOUD CLICKS OF MY COLT 45 SA AND MY YELLING “TOP OF THE MORNING ASSHOLES” WAS ENOUGH, BUT IF THEY HAD CHARGED ME RATHER THAN SPRINT AWAY, I WOULD’VE LAUNCHED THOSE HOLLOWPOINTS ABSOLUTELY
What is the judges record on sentencing black people? And btw prickenlooper was an asshole.
Yep, if the grr’s back is to you and it’s moving away you have to let it go. Same with people.
I can understand the man’s rage, but he fucked up.
He fucked up really, really badly.
Gun ownership and uncontrollable anger are incompatible. When such a gun owner contemplates the situation when he’s calm and unperturbed, I suspect he’d come to the same conclusion.
^^^^
Yea, He screwed up big. He’s going away for a while
How many body guards does the judge get for free??
if he was black he would get 54 hours in jail. If he was an illegal alien criminal, 54 minutes.
All on the perps, and their parents. Shur overreacted, but the perps put themselves in the position to be shot at, instead of being at home in bed, which is the parents’ responsibility.
Sadly shooting at them while they were fleeing is going to get you locked away EVERY time. It’s not justice…but it is reality.
“Schur fired multiple rounds at both youths as they sped away in a getaway vehicle.”
That’s where he screwed up. Hard to claim self-defense when the perp is running away.
You have to invite them in for coffee.
Its in the CCW just worded a lil diff.
He killed a kid; he will not survive inside.
