Delma Towler reported a burglary at her Altavista, Virginia home and attempted to walk to her sister's house for safety but was "gunned down like she was an animal or a criminal," according to her daughter. Delma Towler was walking through her backyard carrying her handgun when police shot and killed her. A police officer shot and killed an 83-year-old woman in her own backyard. Delma Towler dialed 911 to report a burglary but when police arrived, one officer killed her outside her home in Altavista, Va. "It's not over yet. I'm going to get some justice because our mother did not deserve to die like this ... to be gunned down like she was an animal or a criminal," Towler's daughter Linda Langford told The News and Advance. Towler had never fired her gun before that night. She fired a warning shot out the window to scare the burglar off. Then she started walking through her backyard toward her sister's house. She grasped the gun for protection from the reported intruder - not the police, her family maintains. The police "heard shots fired from within the residence. As the officers took cover, they saw a woman armed with a handgun leave the back of the house," according to a statement released by the Virginia State Police. The two responding officers claim that they fired Towler after she refused to put her weapon down. The woman reportedly did not have her glasses on or hearing aid in at the time. The police statement also alleges that Towler pointed her gun at the officers — a point her son Robert Barbour does not buy. "Mom ain't gonna hurt no police officer or nobody else. She was a good Christian woman and she wouldn't hurt a soul," Barbour said. The officer who killed Towler is currently on administrative leave, according to WDBJ7. "If I have to spend every penny, someone's going to pay," said Langford. "They took my mama."

You republicans should be giddy over this. Another one of those 'looters' off the public dole...
Typical moronic statement from a leftist shit bag.
Yet Brian was spot on, as your comment reflects.
You make the mistake of thinking you think. The truth is, you'd rather die than think. And, given your recent comments regarding your fealty to the police-state, I'm reasonably certain you'll get your wish. Couldn't happen to someone more deserving...
The truth is, you'd rather die than think. And, given your recent comments regarding your fealty to the police-state, I'm reasonably certain you'll get your wish. Couldn't happen to someone more deserving... And you seem to still be hallucinating. LOLOL Maybe you're "thinking" I'm Lucy again.
You're a bimbo, no matter what name you use.
Too bad the one you married dumped you. Oh well there's always another one over at that free trade mail order bride market. So is your spammy picture of yourself, a depiction of where you rest and renourish your brain after you have overtaxed it? Now your constant cut and past makes sense.
LOL. *Still* searching for a weakness, eh? Wife #1 I left, when she couldn't eliminate the monkey on her back. I remarried seven years ago, and we're just fine, thank you very much! And our two daughters are very pretty, very happy. Life is VERY good. ;)
Unless your first wife died. You are really still married to her and commit adultery every time you sleep with "wife number 2".
It's okay, as he bought her and writes her off as livestock on his tax return.
Wow... it really bugs you, that someone would reject women like you, eh? With regard to your Inferiority Complex, it's not just a complex...
With regard to your Inferiority Complex, it's not just a complex... LOLOL You're such a narcissist.. Heh... when are you going to post your list of disinfo tactics again on TBL?
You mistake confidence for narcissism. I don't just think I'm better than you; I am better than you. And that's what annoys you. And that's why you constantly search to find some chink in the armour, that you can exploit. Of course, were you half as smart as you fancy yourself to be, you'd focus on bettering yourself instead of trying to tear down others. But the latter approach is the way of the weak, the stupid, and the lazy. And you are all of these things. Not my problem.
