Lakesha Thompson sports a particularly warped view of the entitlement mindset:
An elderly man shot and killed a would-be burglar inside his Oak Cliff home.
Police say the homeowner saw Deyfon Pipkins, 33, trying to climb into the window and fired his weapon at least once at the intruder.
The homeowner is legally protected by the Castle Doctrine, which allows a person to defend his or her home against an intruder.
“It means they don’t actually have to retreat once someone comes in their home,” Sergeant Calvin Johnson, Dallas Police Department, said. “You have the option of using deadly force if you believe your life is in danger.”
After police notified relatives of Pipkins’ death, some showed up at the house. They were upset, and questioned the homeowner’s actions.
“He could have used a warning,” Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins’ sister-in-law, said. “He could have let him know that he did have a gun on his property and he would use it in self-defense.”
Pipkins had a lengthy criminal record. He served time in prison and was convicted of theft, possession of a Controlled Substance and criminal trespassing.
Thompson almost seems to view home invasion as a “no-harm, no foul” game until someone in her family earns a bullet as a result of his criminal activity.
It bears noting that the homeowner had been robbed repeatedly before this incident.
The locked door was the only warning needed.
Well...Bless her heart.
You're in TEXAS darlin', so the chance of someone putting a bullet in your sorry hide because you break into their home is pretty much a given.
the combined IQ probably doesn’t even top 50.
It strikes me as a reprisal tactic....

That’s what I was thinking, and I suspect they will be back again to take revenge.
Are you in advertising?
The family should just be happy their child is a warning shot for others breaking into someone’s house.
Touché!
I love finding and listing the original meaning of names but, by gum, I cannot find”Deyfon” or “Deyxia”, under any Name dictionaries... even with a google search...
Wonder if it’s Swahili...
a daughter named Dyslexia...? shameful!
Dem leters ar tha only ones what fel outta the Scrble box.
Seriously???
Belligerent trespass? Making terroristic threats?
These creatures need one warning to leave, then deal with them appropriately.
The criminal was already given warning when the people passed a law that said breaking into a home is illegal, and again he was warned when the people passed a law that said if you break into a home you can be shot.
Every year many homeowners are murdered by burglars while walking in on the live burglary. Anybody who breaks into my house can expect to be greeted with .357 pointed at them and possibly bullets approaching them at a rapid speed.
Lakesha should be arrested as an accessory. I’m pretty sure she was getting money and goods derived from her boy’s criminal activity.
How did they know he wasn’t given a warning? He’s dead.
It appears he couldn’t spell dyslexia.
If he wasn’t allowing for the possibility of armed resistance, he would have come in through the front door.
