Thanks for posting. Agree it is the most in depth, something our US papers should be doing and yet another reason I monitor the foreign press.
I particularly like their description about the surviving perp:

In my world, if a violent altercation occurs between two humans, the innocent assaulted party should live, and if anybody has to die or get critically wounded, it should be the sadistic perpetrator. Call me freaky.
To make certain this occurs, the innocent party has to be able to do one or two things when the crap hits the fan:
1. Open up a can of whup ass and immobilize the foul weed, thus sending him to the hospital.
2. Double-lung the loser with a hot dose of lead, thus sending him to hell.
Yes, the one being preyed upon has to be able to do the abovementioned because the quickest cop on the planet cannot respond fast enough to save your backside should things go violently south. You dig? Oh, I know … it will never happen to you.
Of the aforementioned, an 18-year-old Oklahoma teen mom, Sarah McKinley, selected option #2 this past week. McKinley, who had just lost her husband to lung cancer on Christmas Day, was home with her 3-month-old baby boy on New Year’s Eve when two dillweeds decided they were going to break into her casa. Good Sarah was having none of it. Are you paying attention, ladies? You are? Excellent.
McKinley, upon hearing and spotting one of the Darwinian holdovers wielding a 12-inch hunting knife, cordoned off her door with a couch, put a bottle in her kid’s mouth to keep him calm and then proceeded to the sweet place where her 12-gauge shotgun and handgun reside. Smart chick. I bet Jesus really likes her.
Upon arming herself, she called 911 to get a green light from dispatch to dispatch the two dipsticks of bad intent. Sarah is both polite and deadly—a two-fer, boys. Upon getting the nod from Nine One One, McKinley then dusted the knife wielder, and the other bandit fled the scene and was later arrested when Goofy called emergency to report his dead buddy.
This is the kind of story that we should read about more often; namely, the evil SOB is dead, and the innocent girl and her baby are alive, and all of this occurred because the femme fatale had the wherewithal and the knowledge to defend herself with a lethal weapon—also known as my friend, the gun.
Check it out, mamas: I guarantee that as she was sitting there alone with her tiny bambino on New Year’s Eve, Sarah probably thought that things couldn’t get any worse after losing her husband on Christmas Day. And yet things did get worse. But, thankfully, she was trained and had a gun. This dire situation ended well for her and hers all because of her wood and metal amigo … the gun.
How would you fare, my dear reader, if you were tossed in that same situation? Would the headline read the same as dear Sarah’s does, or would the perpetrator gain the upper hand because you can’t or won’t protect yourself, your brood and your castle?
I didn’t see that one. Got a link?
Education/freedom/history BUMP!
I think one reason it is getting so much play is the race of the dirtbags. No one is coming forward to say they were misunderstood yutes. Reporters don’t have to worry about getting certain people upset.
If the Gun Grabbers and the rest of the Socialists in the Nation had their way,
That young woman would have been DISARMED and at the mercy of the knife wielding thugs.
Just off the top of my head, I recall two errors as I quickly read over this: They referred to her baby, Justin, as being a 3 yr. old, and they quoted her as saying “Get a dispatcher out here quickly” not “get a dispatch out here quickly”, as it showed from the tape. Either these errors were just sloppy writing/editing or they were trying to subtly make her out to be questionable.
Bump
The woman was getting her daughter ready for school when an intruder entered the house. She called 911 and said she was upstairs with her daughter and had a gun. The operator told he to put the gun away and she said, NO.
The next thing heard was the woman yelling that she had a gun and knew how to use it, followed by two or three shots.
Then she told the operator, "he's gone."
She had fired warning shots down the stair well and the guy took off. I think they caught him down the road.
She did what she had to do, end of story.
Ms McKinley's 58-year-old husband Kenneth had died from lung cancer on Christmas Day, leaving behind their three-year-old son Justin, and an arsenal of cancer medications.
That's the first time I heard or read how old her husband was. Also, their son was 3 month old, not 3 years
The Oklahoma Castle Doctrine, otherwise known as the Make My Day law
LOL. Haven't heard it called that before.
Doug Giles is very pro 2nd amendments rights!!! Are you against those?

I’m talking about the style of writing not the substance. Thought that was pretty clear.
The lesson in this story is that if you are dumb enough to rely on a 911 call to save you, you are harboring a death wish.
Most crime is committed by a relatively small number of chronic criminals. How many robberies, burglaries, and muggings does a criminal need to do to get enough cash to supply himself with food and drugs? At least one per day. This girl probably made a significant dent in the crime statistics for her area for the upcoming year.
The 911 operator was exactly right and knows the law in OK which is that in Oklahoma you have the right to protect yourself during a home invasion, which in Kalifornia you don’t have
It has sellable drama—her husband died on Christmas day of cancer and, like a prairie wife with wolves at the door, she grabs the shotgun to protect her baby. They can sell that by attempting to jerk a few tears.
What I find interesting is how unsympathetic to this cause the young lady is. Listening to her you don't feel sorry for her since she doesn't act like a pathetic victim. I hope she and her baby will now have a blessed life.
First of all let the horses think as they have larger heads. Second the dirt bags where white not black
