more likely, the victims were liberals.
My thought too but father was a registered Republican. I didn’t check the kid.
While walking our dogs in the woods many years ago
we encountered a coyote on the trail, we were able
to avoid a confrontation but in later discussions I learned
that the meanest domestic dog was no match for a wild coyote
that is accustomed to fighting for it’s life every day.
We must not be naive about the threats we face.

Two things come to mind when seeing this story: 1) Why is this only to be found in a British publication, rather than one of our own? And 2) Why, WHY didn’t this family have a gun or GUNS in their home for protection?
Or did I miss something?
how sad. and no law abiding citizen should be without protection these days...REAL protection.
Yep. The foreign media is the only way we hear these stories.
The Daily Mail is the modern version of Radio Free Europe, except in reverse.
You two are absolutely correct. I checked the law in what used to be the great Commonwealth of Virginia. Brandishing in order to protect personal property is a crime even if it’s on your own property. Unless you have a reasonable belief that you’re subject to imminent bodily harm you can’t even brandish on your own property.
I violent felony strike. Short life term the mandatory punishment.
Black ferals and white communists are turning the US into Zimbabwe or South Africa, while their sponsor, the demonrat party, disarms the rest of us.
You either live in Minneapolis, Portland or Seattle, enjoy your little corner of hell.
No. It’s Florida. They have no excuse. When the one went out to confront the fellow trying to steal his car he should have had gun in hand and stayed 20 feet away. If the guy moved toward him, shoot multiple times. Living in a gated condo does not absolve you from being armed and protecting yourself and yours.
Death sentence is not instructive to others because it comes with 10 to 30 years of additional life. We have to return to one appeal permitted and 30 days for that appeal.
To me the issue is a moral one. If I'm in the car or a loved one is in the car, then there would be concern for someone's life. But without that, then using a weapon to protect an automobile that's insured anyway is a pretty risky step to take; even if you just injure the person, the legal expenses you will pay will almost certainly exceed the value of the car.
Yeah, each state will have its own laws on the matter. The lesson I take away is leave the gun in your pocket when confronting the perp. If he pulls out a gun - or a baseball bat - it’s game on.
That seems like a profound statement - but looking at China, with a communist system, becoming a super power in a few decades while we are on the decline, makes you wonder.
When the balloon goes up, consider giving your local media outfits a visit.
Yes I did..
Actually, I support the concept of the Short Life Sentence- 30 to 90 days.
Good..as do I.
Your right, they wanted 10 year sentences, out in 3, and right back to a life of crime.
This is why you need to have at least one loaded gun handy at all times.
