Atlanta home invasion: ‘Please don’t shoot, I have a little baby
AJC ^

Posted on 08/19/2015 6:43:27 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Michael Lash knew he had a broken leg and he couldn’t feel his other foot. One bullet had gone in the front of his thigh and out the back.

While trying to protect his wife and two young children, the northwest Atlanta father was shot in both legs Sunday evening, the beginning of a few terrifying moments for the family. As Lash was recovering Tuesday, Atlanta police were investigating the home invasion, hopeful that security cameras on neighboring homes and evidence left behind would help identify the suspects.

Place your bets...

No description so I’m going to assume the Amish are at it again. The story did mention one had a short “afro”, but “any” race can have an afro.

I wouldn’t have even opened the door.

The victims sound like liberals.

Please note that unlike most cultures on this planet, savages do not value or respect babies. They would gladly have stomped that baby’s skull if it was in the way of the loot.

White baby lives don’t matter to them.

Yeah. It’s such a comfort, knowing that only thirty minutes after the intruders shoot you; the police are ON THE WAY!

.....on my coffee table, 4 feet from my grasp, is a .500 MAGNUM Smith and Wesson (8 3/4 barrel)

I bought it for protection on the Yukon River because I am alone when I’m on the river each year.

That said, it’s reassuring where it sits now even though where I live few even lock their doors and there has never been ANY crime that I know of.

He did not have to open the door. I would not have done that.

Seeing two black teens on the door step who I do not know, I would have headed for my gun, expecting the possibility of a mob raid.

Has this poor man not been reading the news about black adults and teens being incited to hate crimes against whites in the cities? Did political correctness make his brain numb to reality that he lives in a violent city? So sad. Thank God his whole family was not slaughtered.

What a mess the Obama/Soros left has made of our country. And they classify the Tea Party and Vets as “terrorists.”

I wouldn’t have opened the door either, but I would have had a hand full of .357.

The latest report is it was a mob attack after the dad was shot.

15 thugs swarmed out of the woods and proceeded to ransack the house. One of the thugs chased the mom and baby out the back door.

These homeowners are very lucky to be alive.

I’ve fired it about a dozen or so times.

It does look exactly like the picture you sent.
