Carmen, R.I.P.

This is the community I live in.

Police say Robinson was forcing his girlfriend, Shatora Jenkins-Thomas, into the trunk of his car during a domestic dispute when DeGregorio intervened and rescued the woman . . .

“When DeGregorio approached Robinson, he said he was a police officer,” Ostrowski said. “Robinson responded, ‘I don’t give a (expletive) who you are.’ ”

Ostrowski said DeGregorio pulled Jenkins-Thomas away from Robinson, at which point Robinson got in his car.

“Robinson circled (DeGregorio and Jenkins-Thomas) like a shark about three to five times,” he said. “Carmen and Shatora decided to try and make a run for it. Multiple witnesses said Robinson then made a straight run for DeGregorio, striking him from behind.”

I knew Carmen DeGregorio. He and I, along with his wife, completed RCIA together back in 2003-04. Their children often attended.

Carmen helped me out when I was in court for my accident. He spoke with the DA, with whom I couldn’t get a minute, and it seemed like because of that, all went smoothly.

He was a good man. Even if he had not been, to be run down like the guy who ran over seagulls at the mall a few years ago is horrific.

While all this is going on here in Millville, Governor Corzine is working to rid the state of the death penalty. It seems to me the death penalty is designed for just this case.
