Felon shoots-Kills an Iraq war Vet in Alaska
December 2nd, 2008 . by RobertSoldier Back From Iraq Shot Dead on Alaska Streets by Newly Released Felon
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An Army military police officer survived 15 months in Iraq, but it was the Anchorage streets that claimed his life.Authorities say Army Sgt. Evan Minnear died at the hands of a convicted felon who had been out of jail 16 days and was not supposed to be carrying a firearm.
Authorities believe Vongdeuane Vongthongdy killed Minnear outside the Woodshed Lounge in downtown Anchorage on Sunday.
Vongthongdy was already on probation for the felony assault with a weapon during the shooting.
The 24-year-old Minnear had been in the Army since January of 2003 and had been assigned to Anchorage’s Fort Richardson base since October 2005. His unit came back from Iraq to Fort Richardson in November 2007.
There is NO permit required to carry concealed in Alaska.
BUT: there are these little sections of the law:
It is unlawful for a person convicted of a felony or adjudicated a delinquent minor for conduct that would constitute a felony if committed by an adult to possess a “firearm capable of being concealed on his person” unless a period of 10 years or more has elapsed between the date of the person’s unconditional discharge on the prior offense or adjudication of juvenile delinquency.
Loaded firearms may not be possessed in any place where intoxicating liquor is sold for consumption on the premises. Exempt: The owner or lessee or an employee or lessee while on the business premise. (Source)
The violent offender, a FELON was released from jail, goes to a bar with a firearm and kills one of our nations hero’s. So what do we learn from this? I can hear the anti-gun SHEEP crying about the GUNS. IT IS NOT THE FUCKING GUNS! IT’S the FELON. The argument that “if Guns were banned this would not have happened” is SERIOUSLY FLAWED! I would argue IF releasing violent felons was BANNED, this would not have happened.
I am in favor of keeping dangerous PEOPLE off the streets, rather than keeping the means to protect yourself from them OFF THE STREETS! Wake up SHEEP, the wolf is at the door.

Here it’s the same, if booze is being served, guns are not allowed, doesn’t stop the bad boys, but it IS illegal…
And every time it happens, the fucking bleeding heart libbers want to take ALL the guns…
And you know the bad guys are gonna be 1st in line to turn theirs in…
The goddamned bleeding hearts can gather ALL the legal guns in the USA and melt em down, the BAD GUYS will still have guns, no matter what…
@TexasFred: Yep, and until we shut down the revolving door of our prison system, we will keep losing GOOD innocent people to the predators. Time to fight back. Maybe we should institute HUNTING the Felons?
Maybe we should treat the doors of prison like a head start for violent offenders. It would go like this: “Ok son, you have done your mandatory 3 years for raping and killing that 3 yr old, you are free to go” When the doors open he sees an open field and a path to the woods he had to walk… Several avid hunters could position themselves for the perfect shot from tree stands and blinds…
Word would get out, that once you go in you don’t come out. Chances are are rates of re-offenders would drop drastically.
ANY repeat offender of such crimes should be executed.
I agree with Fred, in my country they supposedly “ban guns”, but somehow criminals and other bastards still have them. The same happens in Australia I heard.
If guns are outlawed in the USA there will be MANY of us that are those *other bastards* you refer to Isaac…
*Other bastards*… Damn…
Oops, I meant felons. I myself wish I had one, sorry about any misunderstanding.
@TexasFred: Yep I will be “other bastards” too.. I know what you mean Isaac. IF the laws are passed that they keep trying to get passed, we will all become law breakers.
String him up!
Cappy,
AMEN TO THAT!!
Glad that little distinction got cleared up Issac.
It will not matter a single iota what laws are passed bad guys will still find a way to arm themselves. Taking away firearms from decent people will only expand the free fire zones that already exist. You know, places like schools, colleges etc.
I hope Alaska strings that guy up by his nuts and leaves him there till he dies…
Truer words I have not heard….
Strange, I expected some libtard to be here by now, are they being censored Rob?
Buy your ammo now while it still only costs less than $100 the box and won’t require an application and a waiting period.
BZ
@Isaac: Nope, actually I haven’t had a libtard response in a little while and I AM DAMN GLAD! The truth hurts them, they run from logic and cower in the corner. They need to stay hidden or get their eyes beat shut with reason, facts and logic…Dare they tread here Isaac I’ll hang their head on a pike for you.
@Bloviating Zeppelin: Yeah lately I’ve been stocking up on projectiles for my SG and 9 but I really got my eyes on a longer range set up and I’ll be placing that in a holder soon… stay tuned for pictures.
@Michael: Hey Mike, yeah that is what is really missing in discussions these days.. ban the guns ban the guns… screw that Ban the felons, they will be felons without the guns.
@Patrick Sperry: Why is it you never hear of mass shootings and DEAD innocent shoppers at Gun Shows? Gun shows are some of the most polite places on earth, that and a hunting camp. WHY? Well because the field is level of course.
I hope so to Pat, and damn it I think pictures of his denutted ass should be posted everywhere for effect.
@Cappy: Yep
My thoughts and best wishes and heart go out to the family of this young man who was so needlessly killed. Now, get the sombitch who did it and prosecute his sorry ass to the fullest extent of the law.
