California man, 80, guns down pregnant home invader: ‘I shot her twice, she best be dead’ Tom Greer killed the woman after she and a man jumped him and robbed his Long Beach house Tuesday night. The couple fled after he showed his revolver, but the woman was killed as she tried to run away. BY SASHA GOLDSTEIN

They came to the wrong house.

An 80-year-old California retiree shot dead a pregnant woman as she and a male accomplice tried to flee Tuesday night after breaking in and robbing the man’s home in Long Beach.

And Tom Greer has no regrets about plugging the woman with two shots as she begged for her life.

“She says, 'Don't shoot me, I'm pregnant! I'm going to have a baby!' And I shot her anyway," Greer told KNBC-TV.

The elderly man, wearing his arm in a sling Wednesday as he spoke to a reporter, said he came back to his house in the ritzy Bixby Knolls neighborhood Tuesday evening and found the woman and a man ransacking his home.

"When I went in there, they tackled me," Greer told the news station. "Both of them jumped up on top of me."

Aside from legal issues, I hope word gets out on the streets what happened. The thugs may think twice about burgaling in that neighborhood for fear of getting shot.

You are. Bad meat can pass diseases to a dog. You don't know what these predators might have been exposed to.

Dogs often rid themselves of bad meat by tossing it up.
Waiting for the other end WOULD damage the poor pup.

pregnant home invader:
I had no such energy when I was pregnant.

==========================================

YOU probably followed the doctor's order and ate good food, rested, did SOME exercise and were a good mother-to-be.
YOU were brought up with a good moral code and knew that stealing was wrong.

I bet this pregnant witch had some speed in her to keep her "going." She obviously didn't give a rat's patootie about her unborn flesh and blood...or about the moral aspect of CRIME.

She WILL pay for ALL of that, SOMEday. I hope she "gets religion" before it's too late.

Let’s see how you handle getting the crap beaten out of you by two people in your own home. You’re hyped on pure adrenalin and may do something stupid. Especially, since he was broken into previously.
