A man who said he was having trouble with his car convinced Kenneth Byrd, age 67, to open his door. His wife and 19 year old granddaughter were at home at the time.

That was all the opportunity the three man home invasion crew needed. The trio burst into the home, guns drawn and threatened the residents.

According to local media reports, what happened next was nothing short of terrifying:

The Byrds were pushed to the back of their home and instructed to open a safe.

When the men tried to rape the couple’s granddaughter, Byrd grabbed a gun and exchanged shots with the assailants, [Sheriff Kenneth Sealey] said.

The men fled in Byrd’s car.

Wikipedia says: “According to a Luminosity.com study Lumberton is the least intelligent city in America.”

Lumberton? That is the setting for the movie “Blue Velvet”.

‘Age 67, he may be a Nam vet.’

That’s something I hadn’t thought of, but a real possibility. He got an extra dose of toughness from somewhere. Three of them & one of him; at this point one in the morgue, & it’s not him.

Prayers he makes a full recovery, helps send the other two off for long prison terms, and gets to relish every sight of his granddaughter, knowing she is fine because of what he, with God’s help, did on her behalf.

I didn’t know this, but it turns out that if you bring a gun to a robbery, you are responsible for every death. So the surviving two will be charged with murder on account of their dead accomplice. Looks like long prison terms ahead for them for sure.

In a part of town near where I live, when it's winter, folks pull up to the (small) grocery store and leave their engines running while they go in and do their shopping. Too dang cold to come back to a cold car.

May have something to do with being where all the cops and firemen (mostly military vets) and their families shop. Maybe there's a sporting goods store's worth of sidearms under all those winter jackets.

At 67 yrs old I wonder if he is a combat vet.

Maybe. If he wasn’t, he is now.

The correct interpretation of “a suspended sentence”.

You are right. One thousand years of darkness and it is only dusk.

That’s a “Hat Trick” in my book!

Let’s have a round of applause folks.

Grampa was only able to kill one of the losers... when he gets out of the hospital and is well rested and treasured - he need to spend some serious time practicing with his gun...

Would you look at that — the thugs who tried to rape his granddaughter were white, black and Latino. A regular Rainbow Coalition. I'm glad all three were shot. Does that make me a racist, or a self-hating white?
