Guy commits mass murder and walks cause he's a snitch for the ATF

[ThunderBalls]

Four gang bangers walk into a bar, stab all 5 people in there to death, rob them and burn their bodies. One walks away with no charges because he is a snitch for the ATF. How fucking pathetic.

Demarea Harris and Dexter Lewis walked into the bar first.

The two cased the room and five people inside, making sure it was prime for a robbery. Harris stood in the back of the bar when his two friends entered wearing superhero masks, and he waited as the other men ordered everyone to lie facedown on the floor. He watched as each victim was stabbed at least 10 times.

One of Harris' accounts of that night claims he dashed out the back door after five people were stabbed to death at Fero's Bar and Grill in October 2012. But Harris has been pinned as a liar by attorneys, and even detectives on the case have acknowledged he lied to federal agents and gave inconsistent details about that night.

More than 15 months later, two men have pleaded guilty and received lengthy prison sentences and a third faces the death penalty. But Harris has not only been spared any charges, he quickly disappeared behind the dense and mysterious curtain of protection that draws around those working for federal agencies.

Harris was a confidential informant for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on an unrelated investigation when he entered the Denver bar with Lewis and brothers Joseph and Lynell Hill. Little is known about Harris' history, his relationship with the ATF, any compensation he was receiving and whether his relationship with the Hill brothers or Lewis was connected to his role as an informant.

Even attorneys representing Lewis and Denver prosecutors seeking the death penalty have learned little about Harris.

Federal regulations heavily protect federal law enforcement employees and cases, especially in instances involving confidential informants whose often less-than-reputable histories allow them into the inner circles of criminal activity, said Eugene O'Donnell, a former police officer and prosecutor from New York City.

"You are using such people usually because you must, not because you would like to," O'Donnell, who now teaches law and police studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said in an e-mail. "They frequently have backgrounds which run from minimally unsavory all the way to utterly despicable."

The only details available about Harris' actions the night of the stabbings were provided by Harris and Joseph Hill. Almost 10 hours after firefighters pulled the victims' bodies out of the burning bar, Harris met with his contacts at the ATF.
