No doubt. Just commenting why I think the hoopla would be stupid. My heart continues to go to the victim's family and Medina ( if he he good reason to defend himself)

The media loves to blow silly aspects out of porportion. So it wouldn't shock me if they run with the PR actor part of the story. I think real story are the tragic events here. Nothing to do with the Power Rangers Franchise.

Indeed but the media isn't going to care about ethics. When do they ever care?

I agree. I don't know what the laws are in California in cases of defending yourself when someone breaks into your home if you feel your life is threatened... if that is what happened.

yes it would indeed be stupid but the media tends to be that way anyway.

Exactly. Look at some of the media sources already... at least a good bunch of them aren't doing fact checking (much like the Skylar Deleon thing) and are claiming that he was one of the "original" Rangers when he wasn't even close to one of the original Power Rangers.

When I first read about this, I was surprised and bummed out. Then I saw that a sword was used, and now I don't know what to think..

Update: According to the folks at Rangercrew, Ricardo has been released from Jail. Wether or not this goes to trial is still up in the air.

PRangerX · 02/03/15, 06:02 PM

Wow, that could change every thing. If it turns out they dont charge hin with murder than he could end up being justified for doing what he did. But we will have to see.

Yeah, they usually don't let suspected murders just go free if they have a good case against them.
