Cape Girardeau, she certainly deserves an honorable mention by El Rushbo for her good shooting.
“”I will not be filing any sort of charge against this 57-year-old woman, who was clearly justified under the law in shooting this intruder in her home,” Swingle said.”
....now that’s what I call a DA with common sense....this guy needs to be re-elected!!
Cape Girardeau is Rush’s hometown. I’m sure he’s proud of this woman. I’ll definitely listen to what he has to say about it.
Ten bucks says the perp’s family gets a lawyer to try her in civil court for planning to kill him. They’ll make it sound like Murder 1.
OMG...the guy lived 2 hours after a shotgun blast? Poor woman having that bloody mess in the basement to clean up. :)
She shoots! She SCORES!!!!
Well done, li’l lady!!
It would have been better if she could’ve shot the b@$t@rd the first time, before he raped her. But that’s probably why she was ready for him this time around; either way, good riddance to bad rubbish.
he died several hours laterI hope they were long hours of painful consciousness wracked with remorse and regret. Well, the remorse and regret part are probably unlikely. But I sincerely hope this dirt-bag suffered lots and lots of pain before he croaked.
He voted for obama
I received an automated call from the police station last night alerting residents of some break ins occurring in my quiet, conservative little hamlet. The voice said men were knocking on the front door and when no one answered, they broke into the back basement or bedroom window. It also said most of these men were black (interesting how they can get away with that in this day and age).
Had this happened in Chicago, she would’ve been brought up on murder charges.
...I think you’re right and I won’t be surprised if the NAACP gets involved.
Jerk reporter. I bet the officials never even considered charges. They're probably too busy deciding the size of the parade.
You - out of the gene pool1
I love stories that have a happy ending.
Feel good story of the day!
He was taken to St. Francis Medical Center, where he died several hours later.
I hope he was awake and in agony those last few hours. We don't have any morphine to spare for rapists.
And I hope he didn't any pain meds those last few hours while a shrill voiced bureaucrat equipped with a form laden clipboard asked him about his medical insurance
Agree, why was this question even raised by the journalist. Oh the poor poor victim, shot when he just wanted to check and see how she was doing. Where o’where have our manners gone. The least she could have done is offered him a drink. /s
Preyer had been convicted in New Madrid, Mo., in 1989 of rape and robbery and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was convicted in 2006 of failing to register as a sex offender, and earlier this year of misdemeanor assault.
Karma bitchslapped this POS.
I am so very sorry this woman has to go through this experience. OTOH, maybe all the judges that cry for the perps will wake up to the truth. But they won’t until it’s too late and they cry for the offender.
