    Just take it....at least we know that you won't be killed. So, what do you have to lose? Just find out where he lives, walk in the door and take it.

    Good thinking. Perhaps he has some good food in his frig. Why should i make some of my own when he can "share" his?

    You break into someone's home and you willingly risk being blown in half with a shotgun.

    You do not know their intent.

    You do not know if they are armed.

    You do not know if they plan on using possessed weapons.

    You do know they in your harm, and for all intensive purposes, pose a threat to you and those around you.

    They shouldn't be stealing property to begin with nor should they be breaking into houses. Period. They crossed the line first.

    Yes lets protect the perps and make the law abiding citizen the bad guy. Why is it that liberals want to twist everything to fit their demented world view. If you break into someones house, you are breaking the law, you are considered dangerous, maybe you should think about that before breaking into someones house.

    This is the best story I've heard in a long time. Not only is one scumbag dead, but the other is being charged with murder. It's about time common sense and deceny prevail in this world.

    anybody else catch the part though that she was 18 and her deceased husband was 58?

    Surely you realize by now that Lib Minority is really a conservative, posing as a liberal to show just how stupid they are. That's why he's my favorite poster on here!

    Only the predators know for sure. It shouldn't be the job of people to have to judge the intent of people who break into their homes. The assumption should be that a person who breaks into an occupied dwelling is there to harm the residents of the occupied dwelling. That is the safest for the occupants. I don't care about what happens to the predators.

    So the psychopathic cockroach didn't have a gun, but he had a 12' knife and you don't think that's a deadly weapon?

    You're right - the preservation of life should be a main concern - hers and her baby's!

    Any guy who breaks in w/a weapon like a knife, which doesn't make any noise when he uses it is NOT going to leave the victim alive! Pull your head out!:twisted:

    It is. The preservation of life of the occupants of dwelling places is the main concern. A person shouldn't have to worry about the intent of anyone that breaks into their house. The assumption should be that anybody that breaks into an occupied dwelling is planning to do harm to the occupants. If the miscreants don't realize that, they have endangered their own lives. Anybody just looking to steal property does it from places when the occupants aren't present.

    A homeowner shouldn't have to take the time (and endanger themselves) by shooting a warning shot. The implicit warning is that if you break into an occupied house, you are liable to get shot.

    (also, the FBI is part of the Department of Justice).

    I'm not 100% sure on that. He is either what you say, or he's among the most deluded liberals on the planet. Could be either one.

    Of course you should fire a warning shot. At the first guy's head.

    With a little bit of therapy, she wouldn't have that burden, but the realization she saved her own life and very possibly her child's......

    Guys who do that are stone cold dead inside - no conscience - and they often kill everyone, including babies and children. Look at what the BTKiller did for 30 yrs......

    That's what having a gun in your hand does - puts you in full control.

    Sure the criminals would have left - to terrorize someone else!!

    Dam! You have one sick twisted way of looking at innocent people....

    Since you think it's perfectly ok for someone to steal other people's property - is this how you get your stuff?

    Did you pay for your computer or was it some hard-working schmuck who came home from work and found his home emptied of his belongings?:twisted:

    I"ve known a lot of liberals. I also worked with a lot of dementia patients. None of them have ever been that far off the reservation.

    just to make the point clear if they were going after her to harm her it would be justified but if they were just going to steal some things a simple warning shot to scare them off would have sufficed

    no one brings a knife to a gun fight

    How's she supposed to know what their intent is? You ever known a burglar to announce they're only here to steal?

    No one except the two asshles in this story, one of which surrendered and got out the easy way.
