In Hammond, LA, a homeowner shot 23-year-old Samael Raynaldo Maldonado-Lael during a home invasion.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office reported Maldonado-Lael allegedly broke into a mobile home at La Casa Mobile Home Park. The incident occurred on Old Baton Rouge Highway on August 9, 2023.

Chief Jimmy Travis stated that after entering through a window, Maldonado-Lael attacked a guest. He then threatened to kill the guest and her family. In the ensuing altercation, the homeowner shot Maldonado-Lael in the leg.

Bizarrely, Maldonado-Lael stripped and fled the scene. He then broke a nearby vehicle’s window and hid inside. Deputies soon arrived, forcibly removing him from the vehicle.

Following the incident, Maldonado-Lael received treatment at a local hospital. His injuries included a gunshot wound and cuts from the broken glass.

Authorities later charged Maldonado-Lael at the Tangipahoa Parish Jail with home invasion, second-degree battery, vehicle burglary, and resisting arrest.

Maldonado-Lael confessed to using illegal drugs before the invasion. Thankfully, neither the homeowner nor guests needed urgent medical care and declined medical assistance.

The Sheriff’s Office reminds us that “All persons accused of a crime are considered innocent until proven guilty.”

    To quote a song from the ’90s: It shoulda been a better shot and got him in the head.

    Everyone EXCEPT Donald Trump is innocent until proven guilty! He is considered GUILTY until he proves himself innocent – by the media and government – and they will just create a new charge, if he proves he is innocent.
    Of course, you will not print anything that I write, so I don’t know why I bother.

    This piece of feces should have been shot repeatedly until he was no longer a threat, hopefully sparing the taxpayers the cost of trial and incarceration. With the demonrats destroying America, this turd suckered will be free and on the streets to continue his work until retirement, jail or death. Shoot them to the ground and shoot to stop….permentantly!

    • CMChason August 21, 2023, 9:34 pm

      Agreed.

    Too bad he wasn’t killed. The State will have to pay for medical treatment and housing the worthless pile of crap. A funeral would have been cheaper and send the bill to the White House in care of Joe Bribdon.

    • CMChason August 21, 2023, 9:37 pm

      Cremation is cheaper than a funeral. But then, these sort can also be stuffed into an old, dried-up oil well! Get enough in there, and we would have new oil in a million years or so!

    Poor firearm control. We’v e been told to shoot to negate the threat. Shooting the invader in the leg will not stop him from shooting back or even knifing an innocent person!
    BTW, I too wonder if this is a home-grown criminal or an imported one!

    • CMChason August 21, 2023, 9:38 pm

      Imported, no doubt.

    Should have shot that Cretan above the neck, problem solved.

    • CMChason August 21, 2023, 9:39 pm

      Amen!

    Fortunately, this city, Hammond, LA, has a Republican mayor. So maybe this butthole is still in lockup. In my city, he would be glorified and released within a day. He’d have an attorney to sue the homeowner and city for retributions!
    Get active and help stop the rigged elections. Volunteer to work the polls, or anything that shows you are active.
    Voting machines = rigged elections. All machines can go online and have votes changed, no matter what the Uni-party says.
    Paper ballots only, or we’re screwed again.
    Trump 2024

      Amen!

    Please start publishing where the offenders hail from. This guy has Central America stamped on his face. Probably a guest of Biden.
