Nelson has been charged with assault with intent to commit murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and felony firearm possession. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.

There is more to this story than we're being told.

I'm thinking this might be a drug deal dispute or some other personal dispute and that these people already knew each other.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious.

I'm thinking this might be a drug deal dispute or some other personal dispute and that these people already knew each other.

Westland Police say a shooting after an argument about a woman has landed four people in trouble with the law.

Even so, I'd have to say that the Marine had the right to self defense.

We're missing a lot of facts here. I wouldn't rush to the barricades just yet, comrade.

You’ve read this right.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, the public official charging Nelson with felonies ...

But, what the Hell....”reasons, cop-hating yellow journalists don’t need no fuckin’ reasons.”

All these cop-haters want is an incident they can use to bad-mouth the cops by presenting PARTIAL information void of IMPORTANT FACTS and then grossly SPIN it to suit the purpose of their cop-hating agenda.

bad-mouth the cops

Where?

Even so, I'd have to say that the Marine had the right to self defense.

Yea, but you have no knowledge that it was self defense....now, do you?

We're missing a lot of facts here.

Great job, Sherlock....you beat me to posting that important point.

I believe a long time ago I once referred to you as my “mentor.”

Am I right about that?

....all of which is to make you believe by leaving out the IMPORTANT FACTS

Maybe you should save your ammo until you get some facts.

Lousy reporting, the cops and D.A. aren't saying much. This story is premature and the facts are guaranteed to change.

I believe a long time ago I once referred to you as my “mentor.”

Am I right about that?

You are, Grasshopper.

Yea, but you have no knowledge that it was self defense....now, do you?

Marine 1 of 3 arrested after exchanging gunfire with man trying to barge into home

WESTLAND, Mich. (WJBK) - A Detroit-area Marine was shot during an alleged home invasion - but he's the one locked up and facing charges.    

Someone banged on the door, trying to force themselves into the home on Ackley Street in Westland. The family of Joey Nelson says that's what caused the active Marine to react.

"My son was where he was supposed to be - inside his home with his legally owned firearm," Steve Nelson says.

Friday night, Nelson's family says Joey Nelson had been inside with his fiancée, their 3-week-old son and a couple of friends when someone violently started to knock on the door trying to get in.

Westland police say the man outside was 39-year-old Michael Wilson of Detroit.

"I don't know (who he is); my son doesn't know him; the owner of the home doesn't know him," says Steve.

Cracking the door frame, the family says Joey grabbed his gun and yelled for Wilson to leave.

"He opened up the door because he was standing here in the yard," Steve says. "(Joey) told him to get off his property and at that time (Wilson) produced a gun and started shooting at my son."

Joey's family says the young Marine was shot in the hip before calling 911 and telling everyone to get downstairs. Joey fired back at Wilson, who they say took off as police arrived.

FOX 2 noticed the large amount of bullet homes at the home. 

Self-defense. The Marine was shot at first.

the cop-hating yellow journalist and author of this article CHANNELED

The news story from the Local affiliate has the exact same facts.

Is it your contention that anyone who writes about an injustice like this one is a purveyor of "cop-hating yellow journalism"?

"My son was where he was supposed to be - inside his home with his legally owned firearm," Steve Nelson says.

Then why was he charged with felony firearms possession?

There's more to this story.

There's more to this story.

That is what I thought when I read it earlier this morning.

And some or all charges against the Marine could be dropped. And more charges against the home invader could be issued.

It sounds like the neighbors told the police some vital info about all these people. But in this article, all we read is the Marine's daddy saying "he's innocent!". Big whoop. 90% of parents will always take their kid's side. And probably should. That doesn't mean we should take it seriously.

Facts, Alternative Facts, & Inconsistencies In Marine Gun Case

No, it’s a fact that the news story from the local affiliate has “the exact same news story.”

Damn....why are you so gullible?

Facts, Alternative Facts, & Inconsistencies In Marine Gun Case

I won’t even to there.

I surely don’t need another journalist to tell me what he/she THINKS.

I will wait for the jury to listen to all evidence and decide.

Yea, but you have no knowledge that it was self defense....now, do you?

Self-defense. The Marine was shot at first.

Read my words....damn it....for at least the third time.

Being shot at first does not always automatically mean that the person returning fire is acting in self-defense.

There is the “imperfect self-defense.” There many factors to consider in self-defense. I don’t know if it apples here or not, but I do know that you cannot say he acted in self defense if it is a case of “imperfect self-defense. That is when the person claiming self-defense provoked the attack as imperfect self-defense. like when a person creates a conflict that becomes violent then unintentionally kills the other party while defending himself, a claim of self-defense might reduce the charges or punishment, but would not excuse the killing entirely.

Why are you so dense and gullible?

Maybe you should save your ammo until you get some facts.

Thank you, but I am not wasting ammo by “firing at a shadow.”

Although I know it’s a lost cause, I do enjoy the mental gymnastic exercise of trying to get Deckard to wait until he gets ALL the facts before supporting or condemning anyone.

bad-mouth the cops

Where?

Nah...no way....it is impossible for you to be so obtuse as to ask this.

Although I know it’s a lost cause, I do enjoy the mental gymnastic exercise of trying to get Deckard to wait until he gets ALL the facts before supporting or condemning anyone.

If it wasn't this, you two would find something else to spat over.

Just get a room already.

As long as Deckard continues to post these outlandish agenda driven cop-hating articles....I will continue to stand on the side of “Lady Justice” and show their bias and challenge their untruthfulness.

If this upsets or bothers you....then I suggest you either learn to live with it or use the “Thread Ignore” function.
