| 2021-06-16 |
| [FoxNews] Campbell was charged with second-degree murder. A Washington state man is accused of firing two rounds into a person attempting to steal his truck’s catalytic converter and then dragging the victim, who was still alive, and leaving him in a nearby field to die. King 5, citing court documents, reported that the incident occurred at about 3:45 a.m. Saturday. Michael Scott Campbell, 54, told Lakewood police that he was sleeping and roused by someone trying to steal the car part. Campbell, who has been charged with second-degree murder and kidnapping, allegedly told police that he noticed two legs sticking out from under the truck and fired two shots "straight down." The would-be thief attempted to get back to his own car but could not make it and collapsed. Campbell allegedly told police that the individual was still talking when he tied his hands to the ball hitch of the F-150. The report said the shooting occurred in a parking lot of a business. One witness told police that he saw the truck dragging some kind of object. Officers said the victim was dragged about 400 feet. The would-be thief was still alive when dropped off in the field, charging documents said, according to Q13Fox.com. |

| #13 Some Damn good ears here. According to other news reports, Campbell was sleeping in the truck being targeted by the would-be thief. The noise at that distance would have awakened nearly anybody. |

| #12 Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a cut edge. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, is now used by schools, small businesses, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. 16X14 Inches Boss Laser CO2 Engraver & Cutter Machine, Cutt… $3,997.00 Boss Laser Your money back after 5 catconverts |

| #10 Stealing a catalytic converter involves cutting through two metal exhaust pipes. You could do it slowly with a hacksaw, but a battery-powered angle grinder or sawzall is a whole lot quicker. Either way is pretty noisy. And a bit unusual at 4am. |

Michael Scott Campbell, 54, told Lakewood police that he was sleeping and roused by someone trying to steal the car part...."The report said the shooting occurred in a parking lot of a business...." So the guy lives and sleeps in a room near a Business Parking lot and despite usual noise this guy heard the thug trying to steal parts? I'll say it again ... Some Damn good ears here. |

| #5 If I understand, catalytic converter theft is an absolute plague right now, and law enforcement overall doesn't seem very interested in it. Campbell should have just blamed the truck. "Yeah, we saw the truck dragging something, but NOBODY WAS DRIVING!" Surprised they even found a witness. I resident that aware at 4am is a neighborhood getting targeted. |

| #3 While I prefer Mad Max justice to courts, a catalytic converter, or even a whole vehicle seems too much to kill a man over. |

| #2 The opposite of rule by law is judgement by lynch mob. Who was it that said we want police and courts, because that’s all that protects criminals from their victims? |
