GRAHAM, Wash. -- A car prowling suspect who was critically hurt in a fight over a car in Graham has a criminal record that includes charges of possessing a stolen car and stolen mail, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.

The 27-year-old had been due in court Wednesday but instead was in critical condition at a hospital after he was caught allegedly trying to steal a 1967 Camero outside a Graham home.

The owner and a roommate heard a noise about 3:45 a.m. and went out to stop the man. Neighbors said they looked out their windows and see the fight.

Spokesman Ed Troyer said the man stopped breathing and had no pulse when medics arrived.

The owner and roommate were not arrested.

There needs to be an option that he deserved the beating and should have been shot afterwords.

This kind of sounds like that scene from American History X

Done. I've actually never seen that movie. Been wanting to but keep forgetting to.

Watch it! My fav movie!

Now, Ive looked up 1967 Camaro, and I would kill for it too!

My thoughts:

1) Unfortunately, there are very few states (e.g., Colorado) that allow the use of deadly force in defense of property and Washington's not one of them.

2) What kinda of news station can't spell "Camaro"?

Yeah, I wish they had that in NY. I just heard Florida is allowed it too.

Guys, I don't understand.

Why are you not able to use deadly force if the criminals are prepared to? Do you think that's a stupid law?

Singapore (where I'm from), if someone tries to steal your car and you beat him up, you go to jail with him...hahaha...it's such a stupid and dumb system...

What that's going to make me do if someone tries to steal my car, is beat him up and leave him to die...why call anyone if I risk going to jail?

Dumb dumb laws...
