I saw this yesterday as I drive home along Platte from work around 4:30 p.m. CSI and a ton of cops were out there. On the East side of Academy running along Platte there was a HUGE red stain (drag marks) for about 200 YARDS... poor guy. At the end was a huge pool with his clothes just lumped in a pile and a few suits just standing around talking and taking pics. I thought it was a deer hit or a motorcycle accident or something. To learn that someone was dragged behind a car because someone didn't want their illegally parked car towed is just heartbreaking.
I knew Allen very well. He and John Stellabotte do towing and vehicle maintenance for my business. His wife used to work for my business as well. I'm pretty sick over this. Allen was a good guy and didn't deserve this torture.
Allen was in the Army years ago, and was a fellow gun enthusiast. I'm going to see if his wife needs a way to sell what he has in his collection, and if she wants, I will post the sales to try and get her the best deal. I don't know what he had left in his collection, but I'm sure she will need the money.
Seeing his vest and his favorite hat on the side of the road on the news last night was disturbing. He was in my office just last week.
The idiot who did this needs to go away for a long, long time.
Wow, prayers inbound for his family and yours, steincj.
I sure hope the idiot goes away but it won't comfort his family.
If the widow does want to sell his guns maybe this group should try to get a raffle going. We could even use a friendly FFL to make it squeaky clean. I'd buy tickets and I'd be happy to sell them to other gun people I know.

in before she pleads insanity.
I initially thought that maybe she didn't know he was back there. But eyewitness accounts on the TV News are saying she stopped for a brief moment and looked in the mirrors behind her as she was turning around in the median.
SHE KNEW HE WAS BACK THERE BECAUSE PEOPLE YELLED AT HER AND TOLD HER TO STOP BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS STUCK ON HER TRUCK.
She just didn't give a damn.

That just bumped the felony level up quite a bit. It would be sickening to see her get off with a light sentence but this makes it look like there will no possibility of saying she didn't know. This might be stretch for 1st degree murder but the DA will probably have a pile of big felonies to run consecutively so she'll never get out.

Say what you will, But I think we could use a good old fashioned Arabic-Style Public stoning on this bitch.
