Waukegan is also where Jack Benny was raised. Guess these guys won’t have to worry about turning 39.

Two worms dead. Clean up the mess.

This is what the dems don’t want us to be able to do. They want the worms, preferably privileged minority worms, to barge in and take what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.”

So... it’s an assault rifle until proven otherwise?

It was nice of the two brothers to bleed out on the lawn rather than in the front room.

Were the brothers illegal aliens?

The fact that the police had mugshots of them living tells us something.

The modest home was almost certainly involved somehow in drug trade or some other renter illegal activity

Two criminals down and dead is good

One month free rent. Maybe two. One for each.

...two home invaders...

And then a few minutes later...

...were found there by police. Both were deceased.

That is just about a perfect ending. I believe every home invader should end up deceased. As someone else pointed out, the fact that they bled out outside is even better, less mess to clean up inside.

I’m willing to bet there’s a lot of backstory to this one, but at least the bad guys were dealt with.

Now that’s a basementman worth having. Unlike our useless demented basementman the dems have palmed off on the nation.

One notch above justifiable homicide to praiseworthy homicide.

I so love happy endings, but two young men’s home invaded by two other young men? There’s more to this story.

I sense that these two brothers did not have the same father.

Model and caliber has not been determined...

And does not matter, it worked.

Reagan was shot with a RG Model 14, one of the cheapest POS 22 pistols you can get. (I have one, exact same model, only thing its good for is plinking now and then, and I’ll usually grab something else. But it is accurate.) About another 1/2 inch penetration and Reagan would have been dead. A barrel maybe 2 inches longer would have let a little more powder burn, just enough power to get that little bit of penetration.

I don’t know what bullet Hinkley used, but maybe a different style projectile that would expand more would have been fatal.

Point is, caliber is not critical, if you place your shot well. It’s illegal to use rimfire for deer nowadays, but my grandfather used a 22 for deer for many years, and usually 22 shorts. Put your shot at the base of the ear, a good pellet rifle can drop a deer in its tracks. The Benjamin pump can develop the same muzzle velocity as a 22 short with 10 pumps. Many modern pellet rifles can do even better. I’ve been looking at them, some can get up to 1200 FPS, while 22 short is around 750 or so.

22 LR was used for mafia “hits” for many years. ummm...behind the ear...

That said, if I have to deal with a home invader, I’m grabbing my 16 gauge pump, it stays loaded with buckshot. ALWAYS.

Both were deceased.

What a nice way to start my morning!
