Agree with you.

A week ago a worthless scumbag in my small hometown broke into a house in broad daylight and shot to death three children, aged 13, 10 and 6, and also their grandmother, with whom they were staying at the time.

The 20-year-old murderer did this because he was a worthless piece of garbage and also because he was a druggie and a thief, much as the two burglars in this story.

The murdering drug-addled piece of filth in my hometown committed his final act of violent cowardice by slitting his own throat later that same day, so there was no chance for anyone to shoot back at him or putting a gun to his head for the “finishing” shot.

But I have been given to wonder about same, inasmuch as this murdering piece of scum is suspected of committing many break-ins—very similar to the one in this story—and I have often wondered how I would have dealt with it had I found him or someone like him in my kitchen, or bedroom, or basement.

I am virtually always within reach of a weapon, and that includes in my bedroom, and if someone had kicked my door off the hinges I know I would have shot to defend my home and myself. If such a break-in had happened once, let alone eight times, I am not completely sure I would have realized when it was time to stop.

You know what? If someone had stopped him on one of his previous little larks, a grandmother and her three grandchildren would still be alive today.
