In liberal Portland I’m afraid the homeowner will be the one charged with a crime.
“taken to a Portland hospital for treatment of a condition unrelated to the incident.”
Reminds me of this:
AUGUSTA, GA - Orville Smith, a store manager for Best Buy in Augusta, Ga. told police he observed a customer, later identified as Tyrone Jackson of Augusta, on surveilance cameras putting a laptop computer under his jacket. When confronted the man became irate, knocked down an employee, drew a knife and ran for the door.
Outside on the sidealk were four Marines collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program. Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of them, Cpt. Phillip Duggan, in the back; the injury did not appear to be severe.
After police and an ambulance arrived at the scene, Cpt. Duggan was taken for treatment.
“The subject was also transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken ankle, a broken leg, several missing teeth, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions, assorted lacerations, a broken nose and a broken jaw ..... injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell off the curb after stabbing the Marine,” according to a police report.
Marine story made my day!
:-)
I love it, must have been a high curb.
The United States Marine Corp.
No better friend. No worse enemy.
LOL!
Also, the homeowner needs more time at the range.
“””The burglar was arrested and taken to a Portland hospital for treatment of a condition unrelated to the incident.””””
Drugs. Either too high on drugs or sick from lack of drugs.

That is against the law in Portland to fire an evil gun
“...Outside on the sidewalk were four Marines ...”
Chesty Puller is smiling in Heaven, right now...
