Is this Darwin List material?
Don't worry, Mr. Oulette. The Massachusetts Judicial has him.. He'll be given a prompt slap on release, stern talking to, and released before you can say "Do I need a gun to defend my home?"
No, not Darwin material yet. The perp is alive. To be Darwin material the fool must be dead and not have contributed to the gene pool.
Just another example of why a dog is the best alarm system known to mankind, and is also the single best deterent to burglars on the planet.
The bottom line is somebody that thinks breaking into a home is a good idea will always take the ‘least path of resistence’ and hit the home without an alarm system, canine or Alarm Force, it doesn’t matter.

Wow. What a mensch.
Question for you Mass. Freepers: I thought the town of Enfield is about 100 feet under the Quabbin reservior. Wasn’t it one of the towns flooded in the 1930’s (?) to create Quabbin?
Oh if only the homeowner had complied with the intruder’s demands this arrest could have been avoided.
Criminals are generally not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
CASTLE DOCTRINE AND SELF-DEFENSE
Last I knew NYS still had its duty-to-retreat law on the books.
A far more satisfying head line would have read....
HOMEOWNER SHOOTS CALIBER IMPARED HOME INVADER TO DEATH WITH HIS OWN CORRECTLY LOADED WEAPON.
How is a sincere criminal, trying hard, going to get ahead in his profession if his victim fails to cooperate?
Almost all crime depends on the cooperation of the victim.
If the victim refuses his assigned role, the criminal is placed at a disadvantage, one so severe that it usually takes an understanding and compassionate judge to set right.
LAZARUS LONG
Oh man, this made my morning.
“Police believe the gun involved misfired because it was loaded with the wrong ammunition and jammed.”
Thank God many criminals are dumb.
If the robber had been an illegal he would have gotten a free trip home!
