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.
I feel the same way about “stars” who name their kids “Apple”(Palrow) or “North West”(Kanye West), “Bear Blu..” (Alicia Silverstone) “Cricket” and “Birdie”..”(”Busy” Philipps ) “Olive”(Drew Barrymore), etc. etc.
Have they lost their minds? Some might make cute nicknames but proper names?
Psssssst!!!
I’ll give them this much credit... at least their kids can look up their names in the dictionary...
Funny, doesn’t sound “Dutch” to me.
Scrabble.
Well I guess it could have been worse and they could have been named Pinto and Mustang.
HaHaHaHaaaaa!!!
“Blazin’ Saddles” !!!!
A movie that will NEVER be remaded!!!(b/c of PCism!!!)
yep..... lakesha is the next to die
As far as I know, firing a warning shot will land you in jail. Not only are you only allowed to discharge your weapon to defend your life if you are in fear of it, but a warning shot in a suburban are is depraved indifference to the lives of those in the bullets path (neighbors, etc). I’ve read several stories of people arrested for warning shots here. So follow the law and shoot to kill. It’s the law.

Was Lakesha there to know what happened?

Pipkins lived in Texas. He knows the risk.
Fixed it.
