Look up "burglary" versus "robbery"

Note I put "place" in quotes.

The point is, there's a reason the perps had to go when the victims were there....they weren't interested in the contents of the dwelling necessarily, but instead they wanted what might have been the contents of a bank account.

Do you understand now, or must I use smaller words?

(The point about Canada and NJ was that in both cases, people are in more danger because criminals have less fear of confronting victims. It's a shame that in this case, there was no deterrent effect that might have prevented these perps from confronting the family directly. :-(

As for the rest...is your ad hominem attack a cover for being a gun-grabber? I have no insecurity about my conservative credentials...I am sure they are more impressive than yours. :-) My point has always been that there's a lot of contradictory reports on this...but that hasn't stopped many from jumping to conclusions and knee-jerking. Besides, I'm sure the police withheld much information they had, for use in their investigation and to confirm interrogation results.

At least you got one thing right...this is all conjecture. Now try telling that to those who did MORE than simply speculate.

I'm not begging you to respond.

Your profile says you reside in PA and you don't even know that Jersey City residents are armed to the teeth ?
LOL
The ATF set up a satellite office in Jersey City just to stem the tide of illegal guns proliferating
there. Beside illegal guns, many law abiding citizens take pains to get guns in J.C.

"City of Jersey City v. Smith & Wesson Corp., Superior Court of New Jersey

On March 28, 2002, Jersey City sued the gun industry. With the Legal Action Project as co-counsel, Jersey City filed a lawsuit against numerous gun manufacturers and dealers for irresponsible business practices that contribute to Jersey City's high level of gun violence."

BTW, Kindly go contact the Police Institute at Rutgers University if you wish to dispute the fact that Jersey City residents are highly armed.
