Too effing bad.

In other situations with innocent victims, offenders don't get trials and due process?

Other offenders who don't turn themselves in, and instead get caught, still receive trials and due process.

Does all this not apply because of the following?

He is not a U.S. Citizen.
The nature of the crimes
Other reasons?

If his son is genuine, what a horrible situation. I'm sure I would feel different if I was close to one of the victims.

Not "offenders" that fight back during the capture/arrest attempt. They get a hole (or twenty) in center mass.

That depends on what fighting back involves.

For example, Resisting Arrest is not automatically cause for a hole (and especially not twenty holes--excessive force, much?) in the center mass.
