Possible Death for Killing a Habitual Robber; Oklahoma Man Being Charged with 1st Degree Murder for Killing a Bandit in His Store:
By Marc Chamot

"Another Mike Nifong in the making? Is this DA pandering for minority VOTES?"

The most absurd thing I have ever heard of folks. A state that I have lived in, and a pro-gun, pro-church, anti-crime and pretty much an anti-liberal state, Oklahoma City is charging a retired Air force Lieutenant Colonel hero Jerome Ersland, for killing a habitual criminal robber who was trying to hold up his store.

After being confronted by two holdup men, pharmacist Jerome Ersland pulled a gun and shot one of these scum’s in the head and chased the other away.

Then in a scene recorded by the drugstore’s cameras he was seen going behind the counter, getting another gun and then pumping five more bullets into the criminal teenager who lay wounded from a previous gunshot.

Now the DA of this insane Oklahoma City wants to charge this hero, with first degree homicide that could carry the death penalty.

This has fueled a fierce debate over vigilante justice and self defense, and has turned this pharmacist into a folk hero. An anonymous donor paid his bail of $100,000; he has received praise from the pharmacy’s owner, and has also received outpouring support of letters, cards, and money.

“When your adrenaline is going, you’re just thinking of survival” says one of his supporters, John Paul Hernandez, a retired defense department employee, who grew up in the neighborhood.

District Attorney David Prater says he was justified in shooting the crook, Antwun Parker, once in the head, but not in firing the additional shots in his belly.

“The teenager was unconscious and unarmed, lying on his back and posing no threat when Ersland fired the fatal shots,” says the DA.

Anthony Douglas, president of the Oklahoma chapter of the NAACP, called it an “execution-style murder” and praised the DA for bringing these charges.

While Ersland is white, the two habitual criminal robbers are black. Many who have seen the video, of the May robbery attempt at the Reliable Discount Pharmacy, have concluded that the bastard who got shot deserved what he got.

Now my rant is coming folks, how in the hell can this “Idiotic” DA David Porter and the NAACP leader say that this criminal element was “posing no threats, and that it was an execution-style murder?”

It’s so asinine to say that, because Jerome Ersland did not know in what condition the criminal was. For all he knew the crook could rise up and come at him with a knife or a gun.

First of all, this shouldn’t even be a first degree murder, and it neither should be a second degree homicide, and the very least it could be manslaughter, if it's anything.

Jerome Ersland was panicked because of these two, and obviously feared for his life when these criminals entered the store to rob it. This is an absolute idiocy for this DA to make these kinds of assumptions.

The Idiotic DA David Porter also knows that Oklahoma has that “make my day laws,” where people can use deadly force when they are threatened by criminal intruders. And in 2006 they even expanded the law further into a “Stand Your Ground Law,” that any where, a citizen has the right to be, such as a car, work and anywhere else, that they can use deadly force for their self protection.

This is another form of a district attorney pandering to criminal minority groups, and by people that want to protect habitual criminals instead of victims, like the NAACP and others who want DA’s to generate charges that aren’t there, and the DA’s that are doing it for their betterment in their public careers like “vote getting.”

It’s the same shenanigan story all over as to what happened with the 2006 Duke University Lacrosse team, which the accused got railroaded by a pathological liar and a politically ambitious corrupt DA Mike Nifong, and who in the end, this DA was totally destroyed financially and politically because of it. Nifong’s credibility and law career was left in ruins after pursuing this phony rape case to win votes from the minority group.

If this Oklahoma City DA wants to follow the same path as Mike Nifong’s, so be it.

But, if convicted, Jerome Ersland could get life or the death penalty for this incident.
