27 counts! Oh, snap!

So sad for the family and his children.

There goes Harper Woods....Soon, not fit for human habitation.

Today's modern prosecutors are over the top! Yes he allegedly did very bad things, but 27 charges is extreme overkill!

You need to have at least those many charges so you can keep these goons in jail for life.

Jorg, why don't you defend him in court then? Half of the charges will be dropped anyhow. The amount of counts ends up being a deterrent for future prospects thinking of similar actions.

To be honest, I've got the feeling from what I've read that this guy needs psychological help, not just jail.

You know why I don't fire shots in my neighborhood at 3 in the afternoon? Because I'm at work.

This man was NOT a thug, he was a dedicated father who, who worked as a caterer, and whose wife told him she was leaving him that day, and he lost it. I'm not defending what he did, and I believe that he needs to face the consequences of his actions, but nobody should make a snap judgement when they don't have all the facts.

Lester was my neighbor. I found him to be a dedicated man to his children. He was always polite and friendly. My heart goes out to his beautiful children.

my prayers to Lester and his children.

Holly it seems you're a good person not passing judgment and not defending his action. You are correct, medical attention along with the jail time. Sounds as if he did snap.. thank God officers and neighbors were not harmed.

Ive had many a bad day. I myself am divorced and never once did I fire a shot. However my worst day was when I learned my brother was dead from apparently someone else who had a bad day and decided to pull the trigger. No excuses....

Exactly Jean. The man could have been Jesus for all I care that doesn't excuse potentially killing other people. That is what makes him garbage. He could have shot one of your children.

So you think 27 charges was extreme? Ask the HW officers that were shot at if they think it was extreme!

All he needs is a few more felonies and he can be our next state representative.

I think you guys are total garbage....who do u think you are passing judgement. Lester is a upstanding HW citizen just like you are. It a terrible thing to hear people speak so harshly and don't even know the facts... Wow!
