I would say that being beat on in your own bedroom is being hurt.

How dare you sir?

Aloha. Tiki. Oregon.

Yeah, those things all go together.

[RealImmigrant]

The Criminal Rights Nazis will find some way to charge the homeowner and his wife for some crime....its Oregon.

A little better aim, and, one less criminal on the streets

[SeaHawkFan]

This story went well right up to the time the home owner didn’t shoot the guy.

A man kept a loaded gun in his bedroom...in the Peoples Democratic Republic of Oregon??? Oh, he’s going to jail!

[Beowulf9]

“Aloha. Tiki. Oregon.

Yeah, those things all go together.”

and then they ‘planned to book him into the Washington County Jail.’

yet I can’t get the Hawaii Five-0 theme out of my mind while I read this story.

[KeyLargo]

Never mind I thought this story was about Obama....sarc.

[Windflier]

I thought folks in Hawaii were all googly eyes about the Obamas? No?

[Jack Hydrazine]

“Aloha. Tiki. Oregon.
Yeah, those things all go together.”

As the old saying goes...
KEEP PORKLAND WEIRD.
(Aloha is a suburb of Porkland.)

An Aloha couple woke up Christmas morning to a man hitting them with a tiki torch
Saw aloha and tiki, projected my own feelings, and immediately thought Obamas were the couple, oh well.

[Red Badger]

Oh, Oregon.....I thought this was about the Obama vacation again..........

grabbed a handgun in self-defense and a bullet discharged during a struggle

Those darn bullets discharging all by themselves! Especially during "a struggle." One of several struggles the bullet was involved in?

[Grizzled Bear]

Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like waking up to an assailant beating you with a Tiki Torch in your bedroom.

It’s the total “Jimmy Buffet” experience!

[GreenHornet]

The husband, who has not been identified, grabbed a handgun in self-defense and a bullet discharged during a struggle.

Never bring a tiki torch to a gun fight.

What? He thought they should have carriage house lamps instead? Another laid-off HGTV host.

[Farmer Dean]

Wouldn’t happen at our house,the perp would need to get past the German Shepherds to reach our bedroom.If by some miracle he DID reach the bedroom,he’d be shot dead in the doorway.

I live in Aloha, this is less than a mile from my house. Weird things happening around here lately, car prowls, break ins, ect. Depends on what side of the tracks you are on, north of TV Hwy has the highest # of people on fraud stamps and public assistance in Washington Co. rough area, we are south of there, older ‘hood but well kept.

Wash. Co. has a high number of carry permits too.

[Slings and Arrows]

Wasn't this an old Brady Bunch episode?

[righttackle44]

Wash. Co. has a high number of carry permits too.

I see the problem. Get rid of the carry permit laws. Crime will go down--this despite the worry of that big fat girl on Criminal Minds, that citizens being able to carry their own firearms is the point at issue. By the way, she thinks nothing of using her big fat fingers to break into private data bases and anything else that tracks private citizens.
