Tak'in out the trash in TN. From the decedents' names, one knows. Being armed is just the right thing to do.

Bummer for Azell and Demond. Chose the wrong house to rob.

Yes, I love happy endings.

Sorry the homeowner went through this but those two thugs won’t be doing that again.

Homeowner used an evil AK 47.

Rifle fire is far more lethal on average then handgun fire.

““I mean, we’re in Memphis, you’re going to need a gun,” he said.”

When the suspects dashed out of the house, the homeowner grabbed his gun and began firing. “I just let loose, not knowing it hit both of them,” he said. “My life is the last thing anyone wants to take.”

Wait, the burglars had run out of his house and were running away when the homeowner fired his weapon at them?

I'm going to assume the homeowner is black, because if the homeowner were white and the burglars were black, then the homeowner would be charged with murder like Officer Michael Schlager in South Carolina who shot a suspect after the suspect fought with him and started to run away.

Reporter shouldn’t be on FOX, sounded more like CNN or MSnbc. Used triggers words

Assault Rifle, AK-47, etc.

Made the burglars sound like the victims.

The overwhelming majority of victims chosen by black criminals will be themselves black.

This of course is completely missed relative to the demand by the criminal subclass that blacks not snitch, the police are not only less likely to shoot a black criminal than a white under similar circumstances they are also putting themselves out every day for people who too often need them there to protect them from their less reputable neighbors yet feel persecuted by the cops just the same.

I can’t imagine what cops feel like.

Here’s a link to a fuller story, showing the perps were shooting at the victim’s house when he grabbed his AK-47 and returned fire. Yes, he is a black gentleman and a damn good shot. One more piece of evidence showing how valuable a modern sporting rifle is for home defense.

Are you saying the cop was right to shoot the guy in the back?

What most people don’t know is the reporter is reading something someone else wrote.

“Would be robbers’’. Yeah. That career choice didn't work out, did it? Reminds me of a scene in John Wayne's "The Shootist'' when he plugs some dirtbag trying to rob him, "You ought to get a new line of work pilgrim, cuz THIS one sure don't fit your pistol!''.
