9 times out of 10 it’s a drug/cash connection.
Not in Metro Atlanta. Home invasions are rampant in every metro county. My friends have had two home invasions. They lived in a very affluent neighborhood. They sold their house and moved and bought guns. We sleep with our guns on the nightstands.
Someone will knock on the door posing as someone official or lost.
When the door is opened they push their way in.
Many elderly grew up in a different time and are unsuspecting.
Not really. That side of town has been experiencing many home invasions. People have armed and gone to the range
Yes, I would love to believe that this was some grandma protecting her family. But drug dealers are the ones most likely to be victims of this type of robbery. They are the ones most prepared to handle this type of situation in a way that leaves no loose ends. We had drug dealers living across the street from us and they had bars on all the lower windows, and cameras everywhere.
It does remind preppers that it is always a good idea to have a few extra ski masks or at least some women's stockings around the house for this type of incident. Even the FBI agents you drag back inside are going to look better with something covering their faces.
Could also be as simple as no Alarm system signs, no “Beware of Dog” signs, no outside lights on. These three clowns could have casing the guy’s home for days before deciding to move on it. Looked “soft” so they tried a hit on it.
And paid for it.
If it were, they would not have covered their faces. So I guess this was the 1 time out of 10. The neighbors spoke highly of the shooter and his elderly mother, who have lived there for many years.
Nothing like a snide insinuation to attempt to cast doubt on the gun-owning homeowner's character... Alinsky rules at work...
