Do we know he killed the right guy?
Do we know the guy had evil intent when he entered the rest room?
Maybe he just stumbled in there, confused.
So quick to judge....the daughter was unharmed....a man is dead.
I completely agree!
I need to know more facts about this before I can form an opinion...
Absolutely.
I understand this...I too would fight for my beautiful daughter, if I felt she was at risk.
However taking the law into your own hands & acting in ANGER......it can’t be right. Overkill. He could have restrained the guy & called the police.
But then..I don’t believe in Old Testament vengeance.....Jesus gave us 2 commandments to follow.
Absolutely overkill. Brutal.
I thought I was the only one wondering where the evidence is that the guy was out to rape this girl. If he had actually had bad intentions it's not like those stalls are built like steel. He could have easily gotten into it if he wanted to!
Wow!! How sad for both families. Don’t blame this father one bit. My ex husband would have done the same. Very interested in the creepers criminal background as I’m sure it will help the father. Or maybe it won’t. Hard to judge this father for his actions. Thinking he didn’t have to ruin his daughters life ugh this is why we have a system.. a system that fails but a system
I was guessing if this guy had some awful criminal history we would have heard about it by now. So I went and looked him up. I see ZERO evidence this guy was a "creeper" or a "perv" or a "rapist." I see a homeless guy who was a VICTIM.
Yes, he has dozens of priors, as it to be expected of a panhandler in Phoenix. He was arrested almost weekly. Just had a pre trial hearing a week before his murder.
Look him up yourself:
Public Access Case Lookup
Leon Leevon Armstrong - 04/24/1992
All his charges are Misdemeanors I believe but I don't have time to double check right now.
Trespassing, Theft, Shoplifting, Riding the bus without paying, disorderly conduct, fighting, the most "sex offender like" behavior I saw was "SPIT/URINE/DEFECAT/LITTER ON VEHCL/PRPTY." I'm guessing it was spit or litter though.
I was only surprised there wasn't more drug charges, I think I only saw one paraphernalia charge.
I don't see a single thing in this guy's history that helps the defendant. In fact I think his criminal history shows a clear pattern of simply trying to survive on the streets.
I don't see a single thing in his history that would cause me to fear him, or feel he deserved what he got. I'm guessing that he was probably known around the neighborhood and we may hear more about him later.
He does remind me a lot of a guy I saw at Big K in Phoenix a lot. I'll look later and see if any of the arrest addresses match up. It's been a long time though so I doubt I could ever be sure.
I think this was a jump to conclusions and a cold blooded murder. Which likely traumatized the hell out of his daughter who just watched her father brutally kill a man. That will mess her up for sure.
There was zero justification for this. Period.
