“Richard Matt, one of two escaped murderers from an upstate New York maximum-security prison, was shot and killed by officers involved in a massive three-week manhunt, three law enforcement sources said Friday,” reports ktla.com. According to cnn.com, Matt was spotted by a border patrol tactical team near the town of Malone. “A reported burglary led police to a cabin on Thursday in Malone, State Police spokesman Beau Duffy told CNN. Malone is about 14 miles northwest of Mountain View, where another cabin was burglarized.” One down, one to go.
Where’s the protest? Got my scanner app ready.
Rack up another victim of gun violence. When will the madness end?
Ask the guy he murdered and chopped into pieces how much of a victim this pos was. Oh, you can’t.
The sarcasm parted your hair. Did you feel a breeze as it went over your head?
Lots of malfunctioning sarcasm detectors lately, I think.
are you seriously sympathizing with a murderer?! there is no room for people like this in this country. put their name on a bullet, and give it to them at 2000 feet per second.
Yikes, the sarcasm meters must be way off tonight.
If he’d only know to yell “Don’t shoot we just want to get married. Its all love”.
Obumer would have given them a prize.
WINNER.
But he was turning his life around….a gentle giant. (I couldn’t resist.)
Rumors abound that his handgun was not registered and his license was expired.
Sorry, it was an unregistered 20 gauge shotgun. Police said we told him to put his hands up and he refused so we killed him.
Stuck on stupid to the very end. Gotta love the consistency.
This was part of the dark half of the plan. You didn’t think either of them intended to be taken back alive, did you? Ida Lupino over Mad Dog Earle’s body ” what does it mean to crash out?” It means your free.
He can’t breathe.
His hands were up.
Now, did the police shoot to kill, or to stop the threat?
I have it on good authority that all of the 156 rounds the cops fired at Richard Matt were intended to stop the threat. And one of them did.
But how many dogs did they kill during the take down?
Dude just went out for Skittles and iced tea. Ain’t no reason to kill him.
So was he armed? I have not seen any reports indicating that he was.
State Police Major said a couple days ago, “They ASSUME they are armed”
Doesn’t matter. An escaped convicted felon does not have the same protections as a fleeing suspect under TN. v. Garner.
Police say he was in possession of a 20 gauge shotgun.
I wonder if he was killed by an officer with a NY defined assault weapon. I hear they are terrible for self defense, underpowered for hunting, over powered for everything else and scary looking. I would hate to learn he was scared while being shot.
Would it just break your f—- heart?
That guy was one bad dude. There was little doubt that he wasn’t going to be taken alive.
You can bet he made sure of it and the cops knew that was coming.
Are you sure this isn’t part of the weekend photo contest? “He was just turning his life around”…
“probably had his hands up” .” probably shot him down like a dog”.” probably shot him in the back”
. good,
great,
fantastic.
should have been on death row and executed a long time ago.
likewise his cohort.
The one to go will be killed too. The Complex doesn’t want any testimony to how the prison was run.
Should let him go in your bedroom.
You just know if it wasn’t the New York State Police who took him out, they are just livid about it.
Local news said it was a Border Patrol agent from Vermont.
Border Patrol “tactical unit” allegedly. Wrong guys for these bozos to run into.
Never trusted a guy with two first names.
One down, one to go. Too bad, as these clowns provided first class entertainment along with the Keystone Cops.
I’m glad it was a BorTac team that got him, and not the state police. I imagine he might’ve been taken down earlier if Cuomo had kept his fingers out of it.
Some deflated egos, I think.
Good on the PAs.
Evaded capture while hiding out in a cabin used by the prison guards. Manhunt involving tens of thousands of police from multiple jurisdictions over a three week period. Could not find him. Citizen finds him. Now, don’t you feel much safer knowing that only the police and military should be armed?
Didn’t anyone tell this escaped prisoner that as a felon, he cannot legally have a gun. 🙂
Look at the money saved now that he’s room temperature. Brutal murderers like this one should just be put down.
He shouldn’t have run.
He just died tired.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Hopefully his fellow escapee will get the same treatment. Then there will be two fewer worthless scumbags to live on American tax dollars for life.
Yeah, but unfortunately it looks like there will be at least two prison employees taking their places. And I’d have them serve the same sentences these two swine were serving.
Three shots to the head. Looks like an execution.
