well if they get caught and then get angry coming back for revenge , like happened in my neighborhood. You just might want to make sure nobody comes back. I think that if someone broke into my mothers house,she is in her 80's and lives alone, multiple times. Well besides moving her in with me,which she will refuse, I'd eliminate any doubt of the little burglar ever doing it or having her friends hurt my mom.
in fact ,the way this old fool is yapping he's obviously not a thug but just an old dottering fool that got scared, fed up and very angry. If he was a criminal or really laying a trap, he'd of shut his pie hole and just stated his name and lawyers name.
guess the burglar won't be coming back,eh? Doesn't bother me in the least. My chief concern would be cleaning up the mess and getting rid of the smell and the ringing in my ears from shooting a weapon indoors.
He clearly laid a trap.
He felt very comfortable talking because he is retired law enforcement.
He had a readymade excuse for everything he did.
So you kill her. Exactly why and how is that supposed to keep her friends from taking revenge? Seems to me it would give them more motivation.
