Self Defense-- Yet Charged with Murder

This County in this story is very corrupt. Basically the story goes somewhat like this.

A man from Texas shot and killed one of the three men that were harassing and attempting to do harm to the Texan. Three men were trying to get the Texan (Brandon Jenkins) out of his vehicle. Feeling as if his life were being threatened Jenkins shot and killed one of the offenders and barely grazed another. Jenkins has now been charged with Murder.

This case is a clear case of self defense. Jenkins being from Texas where he had a right to carry his weapon and to fire upon anyone who threatened his life; did just that. What would anyone do in the same situation where three people were threatening your physical safety? If you felt that your life were in danger, would you shoot to kill?

Without a doubt, I would! Jenkins is a Marine, rather he is still in the service or not is a moot point to this writer. We train our service members to fight with deadly force when it is called for. We train them to shoot to kill when their life or another persons life is in jeopardy. Once our hero's come back home to the states, we wonder why they don't or can't turn off that lesson.

Why do I say this county in question is corrupt? This is just one of many stories over the years where the politicians here have taken the law and bent it to suit their own personal views. Jenkins did what he was trained to do. His life was clearly about to change. The three men that were about to give him a beat down; were well known in this town as being trouble makers. This time they picked on the wrong person.

Do I feel bad that one of these men lost their lives? NO. Earp (the one killed)had no sense of right or wrong. He felt that he could do whatever he wanted and get away with it. To the point of his death, he had gotten away with pretty much everything. No one had ever really stood up to him before. This time though, he met his match. You don't go around tormenting whoever you want. If you do, you may just find yourself on the loosing end.

I don't want to focus on the fact that Jenkins is a Marine. His service to this country isn't in question here. He is and always will be a hero. Jenkins took care of what was important that fateful night. He saved his own life. That in and of itself is all his friends and family could have asked for.

In Illinois you must have a FOID card to buy, sell, use, or possess a gun and ammunition. Being from Texas, Jenkins did not have that card to my knowledge. However he is not charged with illegal possession of a firearm.

There is a Fund set up to help Jenkins and his family. You can go here to help with a donation. There is also an Online Petition.

As someone that has lived in Richland County, I am appalled that our elected officials are still using their messed up interpretations of the law to charge law abiding citizens. Yes Jenkins shot and killed a man and wounded another. However; Jenkins saved his own life which is more than our elected officials would do for anyone.

Please help get this story told to everyone you can. Spread this story around your area. We NEED national attention on this story. Jenkins is not and more than likely will not get a fair trial in this County.  Help us save this Marines future.

I thank you and so does his family and friends.
