“I can’t remember the last time the family of such a criminal didn’t blame the victim. Very refreshing.”
Yea, well, I’ll say it. This family is white.
Go ahead.....

Well, see, this proves guns are bad. /s
Refreshing, feel-good story.
Love a happy ending and all agreeing a real POS has assumed room temperature.
Notice he conveniently tattooed a ‘target’ for the Snipers which probably would have finished the job had not ‘grAnny Oakley’ taken action.
That's because this family was from a different culture than the criminals we usually read about.
At least we know from reading posts here that drugs are a victimless crime.
The suspect's younger brother told KTLA sister station WDAF in Kansas City that the family is not upset at the woman.

Gezzuz..That's mighty generous of these people.
Sounds like this guy has been a curse to his own family; I don’t doubt he’s terrorized them due to his drug abuse, too.
She did them a favor. She did her Community a favor.
One .22 shot, one dead bad guy.
Kinda old to still be alive enough to be in the business.

“consumed” by drugs after his wife left him and a father figure died...
I grew attached to some Puerto Rican brothers in Brooklyn through a friend.
14 and 16.
First time they mouthed off to me i told them i would put them in ICU for a long time.
they said “you can’t talk that way to us, we’ll tell the cops!”
I told them go ahead, I don’t give a #### about an overnight in prison. And then when I get I’ll put you in ICU.
I guess they weren’t quite sure if i really would or wouldn’t do that, but they grew to respect me quite a bit and go to school regularly and don’t steal anymore and respect their single mom now.
I guess I should mention i told them i would run them over with my dodge challenger too if they didn’t shape up.
And that some Italian gangsters I know who made the Bloods like like bitches were gonna beat the hell out of them also if they didn’t change.
It’s been the longest time since i’ve had to make threats and we get along well and i am happy to be part of their life.
Father figure is huge.
My pop died when i was 14 but I did ok cause he taught me what to do.
some kids aren’t so lucky.
At least she got a bang out of it. Sorry, could not resist. Hope she gets better.
But drug crimes are victimless crimes, right? Can you imagine society when the drug crime convicts are released early?
“Thompson said she had reported an attempted burglary of her home about a week before. After that, she obtained a .22-caliber handgun that she took with her to bed at night.”
This story is clear evidence that waiting periods are stupid and would just get innocent people killed. After all, anyone believe this lady could have defended herself without a handgun? Of course, leftscum don’t care.
PS Note to all the people who argue calibers: a .22 did the job...
A good stategy to use if ever forced to shoot somebody is to ‘have’ a heart attack and talk to nobody until your layer is present.
Sounds like the brother is really saying, thanks for doing what we’ve wanted to do for ages.
Sometimes the drug habit gets so bad that family members give up and just wish the user would go away or die. I suspect that may be the case here and the family is feeling some release from the anguish they have been experiencing.
The families of drug users go through hell first trying to save the loved one, then realizing there is absolutely nothing that they can do to help the user, and finally letting go.
Most of the articles are pretty cut and paste, and among those that mention the .22, none of them say how many times she shot him, or where.
This being said, based on the first glance at his mugshot, I thought for a second that he was a Stargate fan.
The guy was a junkie. Junkies alienate everyone the know including relatives. Junkies no longer have human feelings or interactions. Their only thought is their next fix. I can’t stand junkies.
