It goes deeper than that. The DR police, the thin blue line are underpaid and under trained. As long as that problem persists, the rule of law here will never be consistent.

I prefer beating the caca out of them when they steal in our area. They NEVER come back.

Friends in Luperon cut the theft rate by giving the local policia gas money to do extra patrols in their area. Worked for a while.

The general was detained and had to post a DR$1,000,000 to be released after high ranking police and army officer complained per the Listin Diario. Go figure, he gets mugged, kills one of the assailant and get's thrown in jail.

Can't agree with you Kippling. It's obvious that you are a firm believer in "turn the other cheek". Heck with that, unwarranted violence must be met with equal violence. It's the only way that the rule of law will prevail. If criminals know that nothing will happen it will increase crime exponentially. You stated that vigilante in Brazil did not work, I beg to differ: it did work, they killed a bunch of thugs and drug dealers that controlled the Favelas (barrios) since the police would not even come near them. Since the police don't have the gas to make patrols, what options do the poor have in those barrios? I say, get a group of 5-6 armed men and make patrols through the nigh in each of the barrios and crime will go down or there will be more cemetery space needed. Kudos to the Generals, only thing he did wrong was not kill the other guy.

Valeu Cara!
The retired General was sent to an Army base detained, not arrested, for his protection, which makes sense. The fear of retaliation is very likely. What gets under my skin is a picture I saw of the former robber in his casket draped in the DR flag like a national hero.

A reporter on TV said that even though the General was robbed, society should not be allowed to take the law into his own hands, because it would lead to anarchy. What he failed to mention (according to his version of what happened) the fact that the robber shot at his head to kill him before the General gave chase and killed the would be robber.

My two cents ? I would give the General the Purple Heart and the Silver Star medals.

I think this is the video of the attack, looks like the general is a pretty good marksman because the guys were at some distance.

quite graphic, thanks for sharing, If I ever see that General out on the town I will pick up his check and give him a salute. He must have had some training, after having had his life threatened he was able compose and collect himself enough to hit his target without any bystanders being injured. He's definitely got a set.

Short account in today's DR1 News:
Retired general "El Ranger" free on bail
The retired general who was arrested after killing an assailant who had just stolen his gun and beaten him while attempting to rob his home was set free on bail by a Santo Domingo court yesterday, Thursday 3 March 2016. Retired army general Jose del Carmen Ramirez Guerrero (El Ranger) was attacked at his home in Los Mina on 25 February. After the robbery, the retired general pursued his assailant and shot him, despite the fact that the Police had already detained the fugitive. Ramirez Guerrero was allowed to post bail for RD$1 million.
