Resident reports 14-year-old with gun kicked in door, opened fire, and homowner shot back.
PINE BLUFF

Me thinks the cops should be giving both howeowners and business owners medals for ridding the community of defective products that are returned to the manufacturer.
Great job home and shop owners, keep up the good work.
He thinks the boy had criminal intent ?? That is just one dumb statement. The headline is also misleading...my first impression was that the boy was living in the home and was a victim of the invasion.
Anyway, I agree with some of the other posters...less trash to deal with...
He saved the boy from a life of crime.
This should read, "I think the boy had criminal intent, and he got what he deserved."
There, much better....
> “I think the boy had criminal intent”
Are you kidding. That’s like saying you might get wet while standing in the rain.
Of course he had criminal intent. Now he’s got composting intent.
Another child taken by by gun violence.
I thought this thread had already been posted, with many replies. I left the computer, went upstairs, took a shower, came back down, and the thread is still here, but with different replies! WTF?!
You really needed to put..... /sarc..... after that statement.
“I think the boy had criminal intent, but he just got the raw end of the deal,”
***
Huh? It’s the homeowner in the house who got the wrong end of that deal.
And by the way, he’s not a boy. Once you pick up a loaded firearm and start shooting at people, you aren’t a kid anymore.
Sorry, no tears being shed by me for that punk.
There - fixed it.
A smart homeowner is an armed homeowner. Guns are the life insurance policy that pay off before you die.
**SNIFF**..I love a happy ending..
After reading the article, I'm not sure who is dumber -- the reporter or the police spokesperson.
>>Bad guys 0, Citizens Defending their homes from violent criminal attack, 2.<<
That may not be enough. Somebody is likely responsible for this kid and has failed.
Armed citizen saves taxpayers cost of trials and imprisoning young DemoThug for a lifetime of crimes.
At least the story had a happy ending, as much as the LSM tries to hide the fact.
It'd be ironic if the boy's "father" [sperm donor] crawled out from under a rock to sue the homeowner.
I'm not recommending this for everyone, but I have three cans of high-octane LEO-grade pepper spray placed around the apartment.
The reasons are (a) we're currently in an apartment and (b) wifey is not a huge gun person. She doesn't mind me having a few, but they're not her cup of tea. And one always thinks about the potential problem of sheetrock walls on the hallway side, with possible bullet penetration (the floor, ceiling, and three other walls are concrete).
Near the front door is a huge 16 oz can, larger than the bear sprays I used to carry, and about the size you might have seen used by Dog and his bounty hunting family.
There's a 3 oz fogger on the bedroom nightstand (also a 70 lumen xenon flashlight and some other goodies), and a 2 oz streaming OC unit near my desk. Finally, there are a couple small caliber revolvers laying around.
It would be "better" to have a Rem 870 12g Police and a Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull laying around, but not at all practical. Or necessary, since the last incident around here was a parking lot purse snatching about 3 years ago.
If any of you are looking at OC (red pepper) sprays for home or personal use, I did some intensive research and the "best" LEO-grades seem to be Sabre, First Defense (go for the new X2), and Fox. Avoid everything else, there are no validated standards for this industry in terms of potency, quality of ingredients, or propellants.
