Intruder dies in home invasion (dad saves daughter from perv)
WTHR website ^ | 9/28/08

Indianapolis - Indianapolis police say it appears to be a matter of self defense.

According to police, a naked man broke into a home in the 3500 block of West 79th Street early Sunday morning and entered the bedroom of a 17-year-old girl. He was carrying condoms and a knife.

She was screaming as her father ran into the bedroom and fought off the attacker. When police arrived, the father had his arm around the intruder's throat and was holding him. As police attempted to handcuff the suspect, they noticed he was unresponsive. He was pronounced dead a short time later.

Police identified the intruder as 52-year-old David Meyers, a convicted sex offender who was released from prison a couple of years ago. http://www.insor.org/insasoweb/offenderDetails.do?sid=335909.011&redPage=1

Police say Meyers was familiar with the home. His uncle owns the property and was renting it to the victims.

Homicide detectives are continuing their investigation but IMPD spokesman Sgt Mathew Mount says it appears to be a case of self defense.

He planned this far enough in advance to pack condoms but he failed to plan for daddy.

We live in Indy—used to live very close to where this happened. It is a nice neighborhood...

When will we learn about sex offenders? If the offense involves penetration of any type, you get life. period.

I've known quite a few Indy LEOs. Never one I didn't think was a good cop. A couple of them that would have taken over for Dad when his “restraining” arm got tired.

Real men are supposed to protect their homes and families from any threat, it is a good thing this girl has such a man watching over her.

Good. this is the sort of thing that Obama and his marxists want to prevent. Sorry, Barry. We have the right to protect ourselves and our family. This right is inherent in our nature and no law can take it away. Any law that attempts to take it away is invalid.

A “convicted sex offender”? Why wasn’t he in prison? Seriously, he would be alive today if he had been sentenced to life in prison.

"If perv had copy of key to house, victim will end up owning the house."

They didn't mention a key - only a knife & condoms.

Since he was nude - I guess they should do a 'creative' search of the body.

Yeah, a liberal-leftist wuss like Obama would have sat down with the knife-wielding naked guy and attempted to 'negotiate' with him.

WTF?! What the hell does this thread have to do with race? You should change your tag to “race baiter extrodinaire”

I’m guessing the condom and no clothes was an attempt to leave no dna or fiber evidence behind. Obviously a planned attack. I guess he didn’t plan on a pissed off daddy.

Meyers won’t go to jail. He will get boxed up and planted.
