I am just encouraged to see blacks and whites working together to committ crimes. Warms your heart on the issue of race relations in this country (blank stare)

Note to self: Don't steal cars with expired plates.

GM Denver Bill

The 3 perps sure seem to have their priorities a bit misplaced! Wonder if they charged the victim for expired plates? LOL

those plates probably cost the victim more in fines jail time then the perps got for FELONY kidnapping.

this happened in august and is just now 4 months later is being reported on, yet absolutely no word on what happened to the perps.......why is that Daniel Arkin, NBC News? ......too lazy to follow up perhaps?

RwEvans (#1.1): What, exactly, are you trying to say?!

It's called humor, Commy. I get it.

Hey...Thats profiling..Damn...the FEDS said that was not to be allowed. Sue the state...Put those damn cops before a firing squad.

Wow. Just think, the cops just happen to get lucky here. There's got to be so many more that don't get discovered until a neighbor complains of the foul odor.

WTF is wrong with these people. We work our asses off, pay our bills and taxes, do "everything" right then you get these A-holes that want everything you worked for for free not to mention they'll kill you for it also. F'n scumbags man...

Our judicial system needs a serious make-over. These guys were going to probably kill this guy and they'll get 2yrs behind bars, get released and do it all over again. Just like the guy they let out the other day and within a few hrs, robbed a bank.

When behind bars for yrs, they're left in the dust with economy and the way it has changed, do not know how to deal with it so they purposely commit a crime so they can go back to the only friends they know along with room and board. We seriously need a judicial make-over.

We need laws that will protect the innocent "MORE" than the guilty.

An eye for an eye...

This story broadcasted here by "Numb-nuts, and Bunches of bull sh... Crap," would have warmed the heart, but Bob Costas shot that out of mid flight. No pun here of course.

I was stopped for speeding the other day. The officer let me go. When I saw his car, I knew he had me, so I slowed down before he has a chance to put his lights on. I had my license, car registration and insurance form ready, when he approached the car. I said I was sorry, I had been listening to the news. He took my credentials, came back to tell me my insurance had expired. I found the correct insurance care and then he waved me on my way.

He did not have attitude and neither did I. I gave him the respect he deserved and he was respectful of me. Now this is not the first time I have been stopped over the years but it was the first time I drove away, without a ticket.

As in this story, the police officer was doing his job. I do not like getting tickets but as I said, the police officer was doing his job.

I have no doubt these three idiots were debating on killing Bloemer! After all, he was the only one that could ID them and they knew it.. This is how murders are committed all the time by dumb people thinking to do a small-time crime and getting caught by someone.. They ganged up on him and threw him in the trunk, do you think for one minute they were going to just let him go knowing he would go straight to the cops? They are stupid people but even stupid people would know they were going to do some SERIOUS time for what they did to this guy!

I think these cops honestly saved this kid's life and and I hope they include 'attempted murder' charges on these fools! Bloemer, you are one LUCKY guy!

those plates probably cost the victim more in fines jail time then the perps got for FELONY kidnapping.

huh?

Most likely outcome is that they would have abandoned the car in some secluded place and the owner would have died of heat and dehydration before long. The cops would have had a hard time pinning the murder on them except that they started and ended the night stupid. The guy was very lucky.

What the heck is wrong with people????

It's sad when you see the mentality of sooo..... many are so screwed up that it gives purpose for the law to come down hard in soo... many situations.

We have to reevaluate our ways so that less individuals have this type of mentality.

It will almost have you crying when you know that in your life you fight soo... hard to make things right and to you fight for soooo..... many causes for the sake of others and dirt like this is thrown in your face......

Shaking my head.....

DAMN!!!!!!

PLAYA.....

these three outstanding examples of America youth, will miss the next 15-25 years of home by Christmas, Santa is not going to bring them any gifts, only matching jump suits, this victim was one lucky person, in a kidnapping(not for ransom) the victim almost never gets away alive.

JUDY THE ORNERY: LOLOL

It ain't fair. My wife (lead-foot) has been stopped for speeding 5 times in her life...all warnings.

ONE TIME: I get pulled over trying to make it from In-Laws to home during SuperBowl halftime when San Diego played. I was in a hurry and the cop was pissed that he was working. I got a dam ticket.

I just ain't cute enough.

I am also confused how this crime could take place in August and not get reported until December.

ONE TIME: I get pulled over trying to make it from In-Laws to home during SuperBowl halftime when San Diego played. I was in a hurry and the cop was pissed that he was working. I got a dam ticket.

oh yeah?....well ONE TIME... i answered sam adams ( 1-13).....but he still didnt get it.

"Officers Fred Wilson and Daniel Goldberg had initially flagged the vehicle for expired plates. But when Goldberg heard someone in the trunk while talking to the occupants, he realized this wouldn't be an ordinary traffic stop."

I had to laugh at the last part of this statement! If you work in a dangerous part of town, sometimes it pays to not keep your vehicle registration up-to-date. I can only imagine what might have happened to this guy when his kidnappers got bored with their joy-ride and wanted to up the entertainment value of having an unwilling passenger in the trunk!

Your honor, I was only there I didn't do anything, I didn't see anything. I know NOThing, NOThing!! Just call me Sgt. Schultz.

We have just got to understand that there are some SERIOUSLY STUPID people among us.........and that they can be dangerously stupid as well. Bloemer is lucky to be alive. Be interesting to see if the idiots get jail time because they deserve it.

Forgive COmommy, RwEvans, sarcasm seems to be lost on a lot of people in the world today. I got the joke too and gave you an "up". Well played. Some folks will never be able to understand what they are missing. Their loss. We will smile knowingly at each other and continue quietly on.

I've looked at all the comments here and whats missing from all of them is this, where are the parents or these 3 criminals?

I would just love to hear what the parents of these 3 perps would be saying about there kids with all that happened this night.
Also I would like to know if any of the 3 lowlifes even finished school, had even a part time job, (besides maybe selling drugs)

We have here 3 people who attacked a man for his car to go joy riding, anyone of them could have put a stop to this at anytime but none of them did so so why now are 2 of them trying there best to get out of it with saying they had no idea there was anyone in the trunk?

All these lowlifes aren't worth the money spent trying to raise them. I do not care what color there skin is either, they're all criminals out looking for trouble in the middle of the night and they found it this time and it almost cost this man his life.

So many people on here have mentioned the mans plates being expired and even wondering if the police gave him a ticket for it? Get a grip people, it just wouldn't matter! Even if the guy drove his car to work that night with expired tags that wasn't as big if a deal as what these 3 thugs did to him.

From what I have read in the article and seen on the video I believe everyone of these perps that were arrested that night are guilty of kidnapping, 1st degree assault, attempted murder, Auto theft, Possession of a stolen auto, and lastly and most likely no drivers license not that that even matters after all that went down.\ that night.

These 3 all were caught red handed and their should be no plea bargaining whatsoever! I don't really want to spend tax dollars keeping them all behind bars for however long there sentence but to have them out on the streets would cost society even more in the long run. Somehow there parents should be brought into all of this as well as something has got to change with people like this or it will continue forever, Hold parents accountable and lets see how much it helps stop this crap.

Lastly, I have known some great police officers in my day and I have also known some police officers that should be behind bars!
Thankfully these police officers did a fine and excellent job that night and took 3 lowlifes off the street without anyone losing there life due to the crimes being committed.

Thank you for a job well done.

Hopefully we all find out what happens with this whole mess, Please NBC don't drop the ball on this one, we all really want to know what the outcome is for all these people involved, officers too!

Mud,

I've looked at all the comments here and whats missing from all of them is this, where are the parents or these 3 criminals?

And the answer issss, they don't even know nor do the parents know where their kids are and obviously don't want to.

I think it is fortunate that the man was found alive. I think the three should have also been charged with attempted murder as well.

He should not have been ticketed for expired plates, as he did not drive his car or give permission for anyone to drive his car.

Yet another case for why gun ownership and a conceal-carry permit would have been useful. Nobody will ever be taking me hostage and putting me in a trunk...alive anyway. I'm not going down without a helluva fight for my life.

These three moronic perps are all in their late 20's so why is everybody looking to lynch their parents?

Weasels...they ought to bust'em for...ride'n dirty...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXrusDqGxts

It was at that moment, that the officer realized it wouldn't be an ordinary traffic stop....

Then Barney sensing trouble slowly reached into his pocket for his one bullet. Could he load the revolver while shaking violently.........

Barney shoots...and missed. Andy takes Barney's gun away.

Goober, is that you in that there trunk? Oooo, weee, Ain't Bee's gonna cook you up something real good for all you's been through.

I am tired of police bashing. If the officer had stopped one of us, we'd complain that they didn't have anything better to do. "Why don't they go after the real criminals?" we'd protest. Well, this story shows why. I read all the time how "routine" traffic stops end up with arrests of criminals wanted for other crimes. Also, please don't run from the police. I don't blame any of them for shooting someone who runs and then stops and even as much as turns around. Lay down! Officers put their lives on the line for our safety, so I would bet any of us in that type of situation would shoot if we felt threatened in any way.

I had a friend try to run by using his car to bash through a police car and my friend ended up dead. I can't blame the police for what they did. My friend was Muslim and the police were white but that doesn't matter when the police are threatened.

sjs, lighten up. If I were police bashing I would tell you the story of the Cleveland police last week. They shot 2 people leaving the scene 127 times. They stated there was a gun but none found. Why did they fill the car full of holes like Bonnie & Clyde? They ran out of bullets. So for now I will stay with this story.

sjs,

How old are you?!

CREEKDOG; One of my hobbies. When I see a bizzarre post, I go to the homepage.....

SJS is a "college educated free thinker". His words not mine. Reading the remarks puts this one into context.

I hear TWILIGHT ZONE music.

I'm 45, why do you ask?

I really didn't want to attack anyone, calling them a police basher. I just used this story to vent a bit about people in general who complain about the police. Sorry to offend, or send anyone back to hearing Rod Serling's voice.

"Outstanding Police work?" Did you actually read the article or watch the video? Hate to tell you this, but it was Shawn Bloemer that actually saved his own life, by not keeping his registration of his own vehicle up to date, and that was the reason they pulled the vehicle over in the first place. Law Enforcement was just doing their jobs, and probably hoping to bust them for a driving under the influence, or drugs at that time of night. It was just a weird turn of events, because had he had his registration up to date, he would probably be in a shallow grave shortly. Who would ever thought by not registering you're vehicle on time would lead to saving you're own life...

Very interesting point, David. While not condoning driving with expired tags (which I had been doing since September and didn't find out till I got rear-ended on Black Friday) one does wonder what his lot would have been if they had not been stopped for something so mundane. Boggles the mind that there might have been a very different outcome had he renewed on time. That's a head scratcher for sure.

HOW DOES IT END?! You guys are funny.

This will be more effective at getting the point across than a fine and a 30 day vacation at a local jail.

I think kidnapping is a federal crime, so they might end up in federal prison.

I'm woefully ignorant on the subject; however, so I may be mistaken.

I believe you have to cross state lines for it to be a federal crime.

fed or not kidnapping its a class "A" felony here. time starts at 5 years, ( or 15 minute's in real time)

GM Scooter

Yep, when you take someone against their will, you can look at hard time plus felony assault on the victim may add a few more years away from home for the perps. Not sure if they will get anything for selling/buying the dope, especially in a plea deal!

Where's the "STAND YOUR GROUND LAW" when it's justified????

This one should be easy:

Felony assault (prima facie)

Kidnapping (prima facie)

Grand theft auto (prima facie)

Attempted murder (hard to prove but good leverage since they put him in a potentially lethal environment)

Conspiracy (to add the RICO penalties)

A good prosecutor could get a conviction for at least 15-life. Caught in the act is pretty hard to defend.

probably not, because he wasn't "driving" it in that condition. They have to catch you driving it, if it's sitting in your garage at home or parked it's no violation.

JEANETTE,

Unless law is different in Kentucky.....here in CA. An unregistered or vehicle with expired registration is not legal to be on the road. Period.

In your garage, or on your own property is okay, but it can't even sit on the street. Registration violations are NOT moving violations, don't have to be driving. If he got a ticket, I hope it was a warning.

It is also possible he sent in for the new tag and hadn't received it yet. That would show on police computer when they checked.

Or, could've been a dummy like me. Threw the new registration in the glovebox, got pulled over with the tag still attached to the paper registration. DUH?

Please move to Iran!

Or Saudi Arabia!

You have the makings of a great Islamist/Fascist!

Hyperbole is awesome!

No DLux its not blindness. Unfortunately its a conditioned response based on decades of factual evidence! Sad, but true!

No we're just used to the norm.Call it what you want but BLACKS are normally involved. Unfortunately naive little pricks like you just encourage it

DLux - Unfortunately, racism will never die. Some people are just too stupid to understand, but because they are white, they think they are "the chosen ones". What a joke they are! Gotta laugh - LOL, LOL, LOL!

Wouldn't you think that after someone has put his or her racist thoughts in black and white a few times they would recognize it????????

When I am "up in the air" about an issue, I write about it. Sometimes the problem becomes very obvious when in black and white (no pun intended).......not hidden in my thoughts.

.Call it what you want but BLACKS are normally involved

GUNOWNER45: Do you really not recognize that as a stereotypical negative generalization????? In plain English.....a racist comment?

Nobody READS these articles. They just start flapping their chops. You SHOULD know that!

It happened in August - it got reported locally as soon as it happened - it is just now making national news. Get over yourself - the news world does not revolve around your schedule.

,white couple and a black guy

In Compton and the Bronx this is known as the "Reverse Oreo" maneuver.

GOLDFISH......coffee on computer screen. LOLOL

There were three kidnappers white and black. I doubt any of them will be charged with a hate crime.

No, it wasn't racially motivated. It was class warfare. Convenience store workers are like carnies, without the nomad aspect.

There were three kidnappers white and black

Now is that "black and white striped" or "black and white spotted"?????

No hate crime when a non-white is involved as an aggressor. That's how we support White Genocide.

ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

Goldfish- yep, small hands, small feet, smell like cabbage..

Tom 176...- that would be: the black and white perps were spotted driving.... and they will be wearing matching black and white striped uniforms..

Put down the drink already - your brain cells are dead!
