he was getting SSD payments! If he wasn't disabled enough to do an armed robbery, you'd think he could work at pizza hut or something.

The bigger question is, how did he get SSD!
 
You're rushing your thoughts. I just cleared up the fact that there wasn't a murder attempt involved in this case.
No you just cleared up the fact that you didn't read the article...give it another try or do we have to quote the part that details the shootout during one of the robberies where an accomplice of his was shot in the ass by an armed citizen?

Since you seem lazy I'll make it easy...

According to the trial transcript, one of Davis's accomplices testified that he fired his weapon on two occasions - at the dog who chased him and 11 days later outside a Wendy's restaurant they had just robbed. He said Davis traded gunshots with a customer at the restaurant as he and three others sped away in their getaway car.

1st Offender is not for egregious crimes such as armed robbery, rape etc.

Not eligible for parole is the problem here.

Better to execute than have taxpayers provide lodging and food for life until he dies.

I suspect they modify the sentencing to 7-10 years per offense (in this case armed robbery) with possible parole.

So he could start parole hearings at 49 and paroled at 70 if fails at parole hearings before then.

Just MHO.

Yup kill this MOFO. America is too stupid and too soft on crime. We need to execute a BUNCH of these fucks... As I don't particularly want them back in society NOR do I want to pay for food/housing/medical/education/etc...etc.. for the rest of there pathetic lives.

We need to make an EXAMPLE out of these fools and put them to death on TV nation wide so other 'kids' can see it on TV and think a bit before becoming a full time (career) criminal.

Just MO (with out the honesty) If I wasn't honest then it wouldn't be my opinion.
 
so when you bring a gun when commiting a crime what is it for?

Intimidation first and foremost. Not every robber carries a gun with an intent to shoot somebody. Davis' gang did 7 robberies which would not have netted a single use of a gun, had it not been for a stupid dog and some random hero-wannabe who tried to stop them while they were fleeing. As much as robbery is reprehensible, I don't think it's usefull to use that as an opportunity to throw half the penal code at someone just to make a hardline anti-crime point. That's fanaticism.

You are clueless and deserve to have some put a gun to your head and treaten to blow your brains out as they rob you.

Being black is a start. Ohohohoho I mean being a "minority" helps a bunch.

And yes if he could do an armed robbery SEVEN times, he sure as hell could work at any fast food joint, the problem is would you want him fixing up your food?

The sad reality is he'll probably be out on parole in a few years and most likely kill someone for repeating the same thing.

Yeah, there should be laws against anyone trying to stop a crime, then the criminals wouldn't even have to carry weapons and nobody would get hurt🙄

What kind of retarded assed criminal apologist excuse bullshit are you spewing? And btw fanatics are the fucktards that go on robbery sprees, his buddies should have gotten the same sentence though

wrong. He shot at a customer. That in it self is attempted murder.

Let's analyze this. First off, an admitted felon is the only person to have testified in court that Davis was the person who fired at the hero wannabee who obviously followed them out of the restaurant to provoke the shootout.

That's not exactly reliable testimony from a person who's saving their own bacon, cutting the best deal they can get for giving the prosecutors the story they want the jury to hear.

It also completely discounts the fact that the hero wannabee endangered the whole neighborhood in the process of starting or provoking the shootout that actually occurred... The perps were leaving, no shots had been fired until that happened... Armed perps will shoot back, obviously. Even Florida's stupid stand your ground law doesn't endorse that sort of behavior.

The sad truth about some people with bipolar disorders is that they can experience extremely irrational manic highs where they literally can't make sense, suffer from extreme delusions. We have no information indicating that Davis was actually being treated, at all, or that prosecutors wanted anything other than a "tough on crime!" soapbox, a victim to further their own careers.

Some of you would make a really nasty & shameful lynch mob.

Bullshit. No where does it say the customer fired his gun first. Nothing but conjecture on your part with zero evidence. Sickening how you defend this. Seems like you would defend a rapist too.

These cowards are lying. Here's what actually happened:

"They bolted out. I jump up, run out to go to my truck and try to get a pen to get the tag number and they start shooting at me," said Keliseious Reese.

Reese ducked for cover behind another vehicle. Police said he crawled to his car, pulled out his licensed firearm and returned fire. "They shot at me first. I had my gun and I shot back," he said.

He made no attempt to stop the criminals, and he only retrieved his weapon after they shot at him. Though somehow it still must be his fault that they tried to murder him.

My mistake, apparently. OTOH, the account that all the perps were armed tends to further discredit the testimony by one of them that Davis was the actual shooter & therefore calls the disparate sentencing into question as well.

Think about it.

They all deserved life, although perhaps the possibility of parole in in 25 to 30 years. If Davis is mentally ill that should also be treated.

Maybe you should start thinking of the victims of violent crime rather than wanting to hug-a-thug?

I'm sure your 'Quartavious is the real victim' spiel would go over well with the victims of his armed robberies.

Seriously, just stop defending this douche-nozzel already. He got exactly what he deserved.

Firstly, go get a life before calling someone cowards just because they can tell the difference between what happens in a GTA game and the real world, and that risking yours and bystanders lives to play crimestopper is A STUPID THING TO DO.

Now, let's see who is lying here:
1. Davis being the shooter in that incident was NOT ESTABLISHED AT THE COURTS. Nowhere did I say that the incident at the Wendy's never occured, SO LEARN TO GODDAMN READ!
2. Reese's account is dubious, you and I know "reaching for a pen" is a cover story to avoid being prosecuted for starting it. POV really, but then again hardly a reason to call someone a liar.

BTW, being unaware of a specific detail about a case does not make one a liar. My only source of information was the OP piece which omits the stuff you posted. Learn to present your facts in a civilized manner and without malice that urges you to misuse the word "liar", or at least grow the spine to tell this guy he was lying too:

Yeah, there should be laws against anyone trying to stop a crime, then the criminals wouldn't even have to carry weapons and nobody would get hurt🙄

...which reminds me to tell corwin:
Self defence is one thing, playing hero at the expense of getting people hurt just to save a few dollars, is irresponsible. In any case, your vigilante approach in the US has been tested and it has done little to prevent crime. Other societies have achieved to live with little crime and without a gun culture or a lynch-mob mindset, so take an example of their success story instead of labelling it "retarded assed...blah...blah...".

Do you realize it's more of a crime to carry an empty gun than a loaded one? Gun ownership is designed solely for defense. Using a gun as intimidation is bad mojo.

Stupid dog and hero wannabe?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

No, I say: What the F is wrong with YOU, trying to paint someone who is ONLY TRYING TO BE ACCURATE in attributing guilt for ACTUALLY COMMITED CRIMES to an individual, and not what some F'ed up, tough-on-crime, presumptiuous malarky bias is telling him to? The issue at hand is whether Davis attempted murder, or not, but you are attempting to twist it into a "whose side are you on" thing. You wanna crush a living soul with trumped-up charges in order to satisfy some twisted, feel "safe" notion in your mind, go right ahead. Just have the nerve to admit it's so, don't feign logical thought is being involved in the process because it's not. Go ahead and insist that being factually correct is an endorsement of criminal behaviour, it only shows the weakness of the line of thought that formulates your arguments.
