Uh huh.
Because the normal thing to do is to not report home invasions.
We’ve had three home invasions on our block. Three. In one they tied up a 79 year old couple to a chair and left them there for two days before someone found them.
We can tell anecdotes all the livelong day.
He wasn't tied up.
There was a helpless girl, no longer remotely a threat to him, moaning as she bled from four bullet wounds on his floor.
He thought about what to do.
He could have called 911.
But he decided to go to another room and get a handgun to replace his longbarreled rifle, so he could more intimately stare into her eyes, toy with her, and curse at her before putting a bullet in her brain.
Heads on sticks
Inshallah, Mullah RinaseaofDs.
Is it your position that wounded perps are helpless? Given the information he had at the time, there was nothing helpless about either of them.
He’s being put in jail because of the kill shot. Had he kept his mouth shut and let her bleed out he’d be a free man.
Everybody’s an expert. “Yeah, just hold them at gunpoint until help arrives?”
Really? Ever held anyone at gunpoint before? You know they actually train people on how to guard people at gunpoint, because it isn’t easy at all.
How do you keep a perp at gunpoint and treat their wounds at the same time? I forget how they taught that module.
Oh, that’s right, they didn’t. You have to RESTRAIN them first before you can administer first aid to insure the safety and protection of both the guard and the first responders. That’s what I remember from the training.
Hold on a minute, the minute you restrain them, that makes it imprisonment, which could be sold to a jury as kidnapping. Good Samaritan laws are now out the window, so if they die because you shot and then restrained them and your treatment wasn’t enough, then you’re screwed anyway.
This is why the Hi-Cap magazine laws were so hotly contested. Reloading, or going after another gun, is construed as premeditation.
However, if you’ve got a 9mm with a 15 round magazine, then you can kill two invaders with the same magazine.
Try doing that with only five rounds.
These two eat turkey and fart into their couch cushions in front of the Dallas game, everybody walks away.
Nope, let’s break into someone’s house while they are still home. That’s what we’ll do on this day of thanks.
How many times does a guy have to have his home invaded before they are allowed some sort of justifiable rage?
