"But the unmistakable sound of the pump carried to the backyard, and, in a flash, the prowler was gone — a blur of raggedy jeans and tattered flannel sliding across the hood of my car and vaulting over the picket fence into the night.
I couldn’t make out his face or tell if he was armed."
It's night but he can determine jeans ... no ,,, raggedy jeans and a shirt ... no wait, a flannel shirt but he couldn't see his ... wait, why is it a his ???
Could have nothing to do with adrenaline, now could it.
He will spend his life with a $50.00 bill in his pocket to bribe the muggers not to kick his butt. He will have 4 locks on every door and bars on all the windows, and he will never know the joy of true freedom from fear.
Yep. This one stinks like week-old garbage. This PhD candidate in comparative literature can’t even write a decent lie.
This guy is a complete and utter fool. The example that he gives of trained policemen firing 9 shots and wounding innocent bystanders is proves the opposite of what he is arguing. I have a lot of respect for people in law enforcement. They have a tough job; however, I know from personal experience that many police officers and military members are just not that competent with weapons, especially pistols. Just how much range time and stress training does the average police officer or person in the military actually go through. A lot of it depends on your tactical/combat experience and your specialty in those organizations. In my case, I received a lot of training with my service rifle, the m16a2, but far less training with a pistol. So, I did not really become very proficient with a pistol until after I left the military. I know this is the case with a lot of civilians who have a tremendous amount training in competitive shooting and in other scenarios. I am not disparaging police and service members (because I was one), but it is true all the same.
And back to my original point, the writer of this column is certainly entitled to not own a firearm if he is so inclined; but, I think he’s a fool for the reasons that he states. He also does not have the right to prevent me from choosing a different decision.
This is obviously a fictional propaganda piece written by a liberal hack using one of Obama’s old tricks of stating if something is online or written in the newspaper then it must be the true.
At no time was this person life in real danger except if he shot himself running with gun.
Heaven help us.
So what is this guy going to do next time? Call the cops and wait 45 minutes while the bad guy breaks in in 5 minutes and proceeds to rape and slaughter them? He doesn’t think fear is going to be part of THAT?
I hope his girlfriend leaves him when she realizes she has someone who will not protect her.
We should get his address and tell the whole world where in the gun-free zone these easy pickins live, just like the paper that published the gun owners. Ha, ha!
At least before he had a noisemaker to scare the guy away! Now he has nothing.
What a total fag!
....hot vomit...toilet water splashed my face...
The melodramatic imagery in the story is over the top
LOL! This story sounds like something Obama would say, or Richard Simmons.
Did he get your tv or girlfriend? No.
Let's see how well you do on the next break in. Perhaps we can post your name and address online and tell everyone how you no longer own a firearm.
Wow....what a little bitch...
Although I doubt it, this could be a new type of boating accident.
Yet he was unable to competently load his weapon. He's either a liar or an incompetent coward.
Possibly both.
Yes, dear. Of course you did.
Lying ass.
What a douche bag.
What a pussy.
But in any event, he hasn't yet done any original research or written a Thesis. Why he feels floating his educational credentials is a legitimate appeal to authority says more about his own sense of inadequacy than it does about his actual expertise.
I seriously doubt the truthfulness of his testimony. Anyone can say anything, and the history of liberals giving false witness is pervasive -- and damning.
My exact thought.
Appears to be fully feminized to me.
