Sadly, the family of the dead burglar will probably sue the old man in a civil case and WIN. We need to change the civil law so that death during a crime such as this does not let the estate of the dead idiot to sue. The burglar probably has ranks of people who will flock to court to talk about this former choir boy, star athlete, serious student, and paragon of humanity who was probably a future Nobel Peace Prize winner but the world was deprived of his essence by this 'crazed gun wielding nut'.

Heard this morning on the radio that the ever watchful bureaucrats in the city have condemned the man's house. Seems they couldn't spend the time to protect the citizens, but they can sure as hell find the time to hassle them after the fact.

Too bad, while the Minnesota government can shell out big bucks to bring the criminal elements from Chicago, Somalia and the rest of the world and feed and house them, they can't seem to provide any help for taxpayers or the elderly.

The homeowner has been questioned by police in the incident and he was never placed under arrest nor was he hurt during the break-in which happened around 11 Monday night.

Not a mention if they took his gun. My guess is they did, now he is vulnerable to another attack.

Good on him. There was a case in Fla. a while back in a diner, when two legally armed guys stopped a robbery by shooting the goblin. The young one was 69.
