“The Robert Wallace case has all the trademarks of a justice-gone-awry tale.
When Wallace, an 81-year-old Wheat Ridge resident, saw two men trying to steal his trailer this past February, he opened fire, hitting one of the men in the head.
But the person busted in the shooting’s immediate aftermath was Wallace, for attempted murder, while the two suspects in the theft attempt remained free until last week.
The contrast between an elderly man defending his property, Gran Torino-style, against the actions of an illegal alien — and then being prosecuted for his actions — could hardly be more stark.”
