Joey never pissed off anyone. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The fool who shot him was looking for the Bridgeville witch, or was out of his mind. Joey did not have a chance to protect his family as this fu**er shot him down like he was nothing. Joey was a good man, from a good family. How dare you say otherwise. If you knew him, you sure wouldn’t have posted this bs.

He got caught breaking into Double D’s Restaurant and his girlfriend was a former employee there. Lock em both up for a long time before a law abiding citizen gets hurt or possibly killed.

Hope the kids were taken and placed in a good home before this stint. Their going bye bye for awhile to state prison. She may testify and say it was all his idea and he threatened her if she didn’t follow through. Sounds like a case for Marci Kitchen’s lawyer.

If convicted, and PC 12022.53 is enforced, we should not see these two until 2027.

Why are they not in jail for the last robbery they attempted .
I thought they looked familiar they were cohorts in the past crimes committed. This is proof of the revolving door policy

What a piece of sh!t. Whats wrong with these people. Alex was raised better than that. His grandparents are good, hard working people. I tackled somebody running from Safeway parking lot being chased by security and threw them on the ground, only to find out it was Alex. I couldn’t believe it and yelled at him and told him to think about the people that raised him. He had stolen something from one of the stores. Bummer.

No, I’m talking about Alex Church’s father who was shot & killed in “Beautiful downtown Bridgeville” just a couple of hundred yards from the elementary school!!! His story was similar to Tim Smith’s because they were both committed by idiots who let their emotons get the better of them!!!!

Agreed 250% on the victim of the Robbery but it’s still a stupid move especially taking off the mask in front of the camera!!!! Armed robbery is a stupid maneuver from the start let alone in a place that has multi surveillance cams around!!!

Calif needs to repeal prop 47 & 57, plus bring back the original 3 strikes law. Too many criminals know that it takes 3-4 times getting caught before anything serious will happen to them. Meanwhile, we all suffer from the lack of consequences.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, I couldn’t recall if the guy who shot his dad was ever caught up with or not!!! Now if Alex ever pulls his head out of his “Lower Regions” before someone (like the police) does the same thing to him!!! I hope it doesn’t come to that but if he continues down this path it may well!!! :-C

I hope not I still think there’s hope forthe little $hit if he ever gets his head out & stops trying to commit suicide by cop!!! Which I think is exactly what armed robbery is!!! He doesn’t need to see his father or his father’s killer either one like that!!!

Is it just ignorant people that always say “Trump”? This is the “Obama” thing all over again.
Its the new way Americans speak.
“Gas went up”, “Obama”
“Tweekers at it again”, “Trump”
“Lots of rain this year”, “Trump”
“Stupid comments”, “Trump”
