Marines Just Do the Craziest Things

You know. Not to upset the kids and all…

…“I got out of the truck and said, ‘Hey, I’m gonna call the police and we’re gonna have police down here so why don’t we put the necklace down and walk away?’” he said.

The accused thieves took off and Trenker followed.

“When somebody steals something from you, you want to get it back and I did not perceive any danger,” Trenker said.

But then danger showed up. Detectives say Steele started shooting and struck Trenker several times.

Trenker plugged his wounds with his fingers and went back to his kids. A resident heard the commotion and called 911.

    Poor guy, what rotten luck, and I can’t believe how that thief started shooting with CHILDREN at risk and hope he’ll be in BIG trouble for it.

    I hate to say this but,where did this guy grow up?
    I lived in the projects until I was ten,and would have seen this coming eight miles away.Duh?Give a necklace to unemployed juvenile cannibals to hold.
    I’m glad he survived to fight another day.Seems like a good guy.
