Former Felon With Restored Gun Rights Saved Trooper In Arizona Ambush

Felon =/= violent, and violent =/= felon. Non-violent felons should all have their voting and gun rights restored upon completing probation.

- "The man who shot and killed an assault suspect on a dark highway in Arizona, rescuing a state trooper, said on Wednesday that he doesn’t think of himself as a hero.
- The Good Samaritan had requested media anonymity since the early-morning January 12 incident on Interstate 10.
- Today, he made his first appearance since the incident at a news conference at the headquarters of the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
- He identified himself as Thomas Yoxall, 43, a maintenance supervisor with a passion for photography and reading.
- And he mentioned that he has a “past.”
- As court records show, that past includes a 2000 conviction for felony theft.
- Fortunately for DPS Trooper Edward Andersson, whose life hung on the edge before Yoxall showed up on January 12, Yoxall had his gun rights restored in 2003 after he successfully completed probation.
- Yoxall has paid back his debt to society — big-time."
