Wow only 9 posts in between this one and the same one below!

This must be a series story to get such a Hugh amount of duplicate postings!

Based on additional information, I wonder if the home intruder was one of the Katrina evacuees.

This is really scary. This home invasion happened less than a mile from my parents' home.

I just hope that no one manages to make the boy feel bad about his actions. I'm sure there are people just waiting to tell him how he "really shouldn't have taken this on himself," etc.

Kid should get a medal.

I forgot. You have to be registered with the Caller-Times website to read their stories. Someone has a website with accounts and passwords to most of the news websites in the US. Hopefully someone will post a link to it.

Intruder crosses the thresh hold of a home, makes physical threats = fair game for self defense.

That's the law most places. Case closed.

I am sure that the kid doesn't want a medal. Either he is cool with this, or he is haunted. If the former, he is just thinking he did what he had to do. If the latter, he needs to get with a police counselor to walk him through this.

Here in East Texas our kids have their own guns. This isn't a good place to be pulling dumb stunts like the dead criminal in the story tried.

If you use Firefox you can get a very useful bugmenot plugin.

"He threatened to kill them repeatedly,"

Threatening to kill them once is bad enough. He deserved to die for threatening to kill them repeatedly.

So does this plugin automatically retrieve an account and password for a webssite requesting a password? How does Firefox compare with Netscape? I normally surf with Opera. How is it better than Opera?

Effective?
