Criminals normally commit many crimes before they are caught. If these crimes occur in a short amount of time, we call it a crime spree. One of the ways these crime sprees are cut short is that the criminals encounter an armed citizen. It happened in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday, the 10th of April, 2015. From channel3000.com:
A number of people were victimized, starting with a 90 year old woman, then a 22 year old noticed a burglary in progress at her home and car, and avoided the criminals by running to a neighbor's house. Then the duo made a mistake in the victim selection process. From the article:
Police said two men were arrested after a string of violent home invasions Friday on Madison's west side.
Police responding to the Gladstone address took Harrison into custody at the home. Police said the husband at the home confronted the burglars with a firearm. Scott reportedly fled in the vehicle. Harrison and the homeowner got into a brief struggle, which is when the homeowner's gun discharged. No one was injured. Harrison dropped his handgun and the homeowner detained Harrison until police arrived.How many additional crimes were prevented is impossible to say.
Good ending but, it says they struggled then perp dropped his handgun. How did they get close enough for a struggle? You see he is armed drop him like a bag of dirt.
I watched the local news last night and three stories in a row involved black perps. I’m sure it was a mistake.
Why they could be Obama’s sons.
Gee, I wonder if Tom Barrett, mayor of Milwaukee, knows about this?
But guns are evil! No one should be allowed to stop crime with them! /s
I hope this doesn’t impede their dreams of attending college.
I agree with your “BUT”, if I point my weapon at another person it is because I have assessed the situation and am fully confident I must shoot, second guessing will get you killed.
Or starting a rap career.
Which comes first? The rap sheet or the rap career?
Police said two men were arrested after a string of violent home invasions Friday on Madison’s west side.
It could have just as well have been the police doing the home invasions.

LOL, GMTA....I was going to write “or to start a rap (sheet) career” but he might have already.
Heh, heh.
Wait, we have to hear from their grandmother first before we form an opinion. /s
