Adding to my previous, the police had been faced with this dangerous home invader for weeks, and did nothing about him until they could practically follow a blood trail to pick him up.

But they went out of their way to bust this guy for an unrenewed ID card, and announce to the world (including the burglar, who is no doubt out on bail already) that they've disarmed him.

It's clear that to Chief Carpenter, owning a gun is a more serious violation than breaking into a house with people (even children) present. Gun owners can no more speak freely to police like him than dissidents could to Soviet cops.

d.o.l.

"We want to give good information to Wilmette residents about what we advise them to do if they ever find themselves in this situation. Lock the bedroom door and call 911. Protect yourselves and your children first," Carpenter said



Yea, call 911 so I can hear you get killed and then we will have it on tape. They will call me into court and I can tell them "yes a heard a scream, a shot fired and then silence.

P.S. Criminal Number 18F...Thank you for serving our Country!! God Bless You!!

Billings will no doubt sue the homeowner for shooting him.
