David Ovalle
Miami-Dade police fatally shot 21-year-old Richard Hollis after he allegedly wielded a knife during a “violent encounter” with his mother in Kendall. Hollis, records show, had a history of strife with his own family and neighbors.Hollis had been awaiting trial after he was arrested in April 2021 on allegations he attacked an 88-year-old neighbor who complained about the man repeatedly walking his large dog without a leash. Police said he pushed the man to the ground, then kicked him, at the Kendall apartment complex where they both lived, according to an arrest report.
Hollis was also charged with battery on a law-enforcement officer after police said he slammed the door on the face an officer who came to arrest him. Officers had to stun him with a Taser, an arrest report said. The charge was later reduced to a misdemeanor.
His trial for felony battery on an elderly person was set for July 11.

When law and morality contradict each other the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his sense of morality or losing his respect for the law. — Frederick Bastiat

Doncha just love the smell of a quad-fer DRT FIRST (ht2 R-D) thing of a morning? They’re out there, we just have to hunt them out. Four less parasites on society and four more parasites burning in Hell.
Real nice “reach out and touch” device you gots there Mister. Would come in handy shoring up the North Wall @ Firebase Magnolia.
The ones that make the law sold their morals long ago.
Richard Hollis showed his “Richard” once too often. He shoulda had his career ended sooner, but OK, it is done now.
I wouldn’t mind having that there Savage around the GB Compound, either, KoB.
The two in the “targeted” home invasion are no loss. Statistically, the shooter probably could have also benefited by taking a couple center-mass rounds but I guess I’ll have to take what I can get.
Looks like Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) has gone up in price since its inception. On the Ruger website, they’re showing $1900-$2500 MSRP for various models.
Cabella’s is showing $1500-$2000 for a 308.
Still, even at that cost, well worth the price of admission.
“Where’d you say we were?
“O! Leander”
(rimshot..)
If this is the town’s first deadly use of force, wow! I tip my hat to you (if I was wearing one).
Other then this one blip, I hope your town continues its bucolic history.
