he was complaining about this the other day......



A Michigan man who said he accidentally shot and killed a 19-year-old woman he thought was trying to break into his Dearborn Heights home this month will be charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy said today.

Lawyers for the woman's family said she was looking for help after she was in a car crash. Officials said she had a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit for drivers in Michigan.

DETROIT: Dearborn Heights man charged in shooting death Renisha McBride
Published: Friday, November 15, 2013


DETROIT — The Dearborn Heights man who allegedly shot Renisha McBride earlier this month will face charges.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced Friday morning her office is charging Theodore Paul Wafer, 54, with second-degree murder, manslaughter and felony use of a firearm.

If convicted, he would be sentenced to up to life in prison on the murder charge, a maximum of 15 years on the manslaughter charge and a mandatory two years on the felony use of a firearm charge.

Wafer is to be arraigned in 20th District Court. A criminal division clerk said shortly after the charges were announced that an arraignment time had not been set because the court was waiting for paperwork from Dearborn Heights police.


Wafer told police he accidentally shot McBride early Nov. 2. Her body was found on his front porch at the corner of West Outer Drive and Dolphin shortly after he called 911 and told a dispatcher he had shot someone.

McBride, 19, of Detroit was killed by a single gunshot to her head. An autopsy found she was not shot at close range.

McBride’s family believe she crashed into a parked car in Detroit, six blocks from where she died. They claimed witnesses encountered her, bleeding from the face and disoriented, shortly after the crash, but she walked away from the car she was driving.

Detroit police eventually came to the street where the crash occurred but McBride never returned.

She was killed about 2 1/2 hours after the crash.

A toxicology report released Thursday found McBride’s blood-alcohol level to be 0.218 percent. A driver with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 percent is considered legally drunk in Michigan. A “super drunk” designation applies when a person’s blood-alcohol level is 0.17 percent or higher. In McBride’s case, because she was younger than 21, the law says there’s zero tolerance for alcohol.

There also was marijuana in her system.

Southfield attorney Gerald Thurswell, who is representing McBride’s family, said Thursday her condition was immaterial.

“If she was intoxicated, it makes her even less of a threat,” he said. “(Wafer) was safe in his house — all he had to do was call 911. Had he done that, Renisha would still be alive and probably would’ve been arrested for public intoxication.”

The incident stirred comparisons to the February 2012 death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed after a confrontation with another man. The man who killed him, George Zimmerman, was acquitted of second-degree murder charges after claiming the state’s “stand-your-ground” law allowed him to defend himself.

Protesters gathered at the Dearborn Heights Justice Center earlier this month, but Thurswell and members of McBride’s family urged patience while Worthy’s office researched information about the shooting.

Michigan State Police also investigated the circumstances that led to McBride’s death.

maybe you need to get him interested in changing that plaque thingie

🤔

he prolly likes it as is.... 😟

Is this guy Theodore Paul Wafer a white dude by any chance?

If Sharpton is involved there is a really good chance.... 😟

If they shot an injured, disoriented, bloody, drunk and high 19year old girl because they were afraid for their lives behind a locked door, there is a really good chance....

was she on the Lean..?? 😕

Of course, Sharpton and his liberal apologists in the media continue to ignore all the black-on-black shootings in Detroit and elsewhere...

he was outraged.. 😟

In their defense, the whites and other races also continue to ignore all the black-on-black shootings in Detroit and elsewhere.

True, unfortunately. But the average guy-on-the-street doesn't have the ability to assemble a widely publicized press conference to promote their racially charged agenda like the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons do.

Instead of using their bully pulpit to bring attention to inner city black on black and black on white violence plaguing our cities, they seem to only concentrate on the relatively rare white on black violent crime.

Demagoguery on their part, plain and simple.

If Obama's daughter was 19, triple drunk, and high on Chronic, she'd look like McBride.

🐴

Crashing your car, leaving the scene and being drunk and bloody and then banging on someones door might get you shot anywhere. Interesting though is 6 blocks and 2 1/2 hours after the crash she got the lead poisoning. Good job on the case Detroit PD.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't think whitey Q cracker was allowed to have an opinion on black on black crime because it's "their culture".

Sharpton should take a dip in an active volcano.

Regardless of race can someone explain to me how a 19yr old drunk girl knocking on your door can put you in fear of your life? He should have just called 911. I think this was a person just waiting for ANY excuse to use that shotgun. BTW most black people hate Al Sharpton too. I've yet to meet a black person who said Sharpton represents them and is their voice in any racial discussion. How this guy got a T.V. show I'll never know. He must have some good blackmail pics of someone over at MSNBC.

Without being there, I think it is very fair to say that this question is unanswerable. Apparently there is only one person alive who knows exactly what happened. Before jumping to conclusions, one should examine the evidence. To do otherwise is presumptuous and utterly useless.

I've seen many intoxicated people. Some exhibit a more congenial personality while others have a more vile temperament. I think it's safe to say that if one was to conduct an informal poll of first responders such as EMS, Fire Fighters and Law Enforcement Officers, one would learn that it is NOT at all uncommon for highly intoxicated individuals to be very confrontational and even act violent towards others.




Michigan has a "Stand Your Ground" law. As such, he apparently had no legal requirement to retreat. Whether one agrees with it or not, all that really matters is that at the time of the shooting it was the law. As such, anyone subject to that law is under it's "cone of protection."




Please share what information you have that backs this assumption.




What study does this point to?




Finally something I can agree with.

===========================================================================================
In addition, why all the sudden outrage. With 368 murders, in 2012 Detroit ranked as the second most deadly city in the United States, just behind Flint, MI which was ranked as the number 1 most dangerous city in the same time period.

Why wasn't Sharpton outraged about those murders. Better yet, why didn't any of them make national headlines? Perhaps, because Sharpton doesn't really care about murders as a whole. Perhaps he only cares about murders that he can profit from. Had this been black on black or even black on white, does anyone think this killing would be a blip on his radar?

I don' know what I would have done. I'd have prolly had my gun with me, not answered the door and called 911 but it's hard for me to judge. Protecting my family is more important to me than protecting the "rights" of a drunk trying to get into my home (if that is what happened)

It will be interesting to see how this plays out after all the misinformation and rush to judgement from both sides of the martin (aka rodney king east) case.

Well, yes..

If a Giant , high, drunk Black Broad was banging on my door at 4am I'd shoot too,,,,

ever seen how a bunch of Oprahs at a Casino Buffet act ?

If you reach for a crab leg at the wrong time , you could pull back a nub...
