In Oakland, California, a startling incident unfolded as a 77-year-old homeowner found himself at the center of a controversial arrest after fatally shooting a robbery suspect. The homeowner, whose identity remains undisclosed, was taken into custody under suspicion of murder following the tragic event that transpired at 98th Avenue and Burr Street in East Oakland on Monday evening.
Reports indicate that the homeowner encountered a harrowing situation when two men and a woman arrived at his property in a stolen Infiniti Q40. Eyewitnesses recall observing the trio trespass onto the premises, with one of the men wielding a crowbar. The peaceful tranquility of the neighborhood was shattered by the sound of a gunshot, signaling the onset of a series of alarming events
Responding swiftly to the distress call, law enforcement authorities arrived on the scene to find the homeowner brandishing a stolen Colt Python revolver at the female suspect. The fatal outcome of the encounter left one of the male suspects fatally wounded, despite the efforts of Oakland firefighters and paramedics to save his life. As the investigation progresses, the deceased suspect’s identity remains undisclosed.
In a twist of fate, the apprehension of the third suspect on the scene, in possession of a replica gun, shed light on the gravity of the situation. While the homeowner was taken into custody following the incident, formal charges are pending as prosecutors from the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office (Team Soros?) review the case.
What will DA Pamela Price do with this case, with a recall election looming.
That is hilarious!

Never heard that explanation before but it certainly does accurately describe how things have been playing out in this country.
The older man has three major disparity of force reasons on his side.
1. Multiple against one
2. Younger against elderly
3. Surprise attack/breaking in
Self-defense and use of deadly force laws are complex and open to a lot of interpretation by a jury or judge.
Usually, there must be a determination that if you have a firearm, that the attacker could inflict deadly force and you were afraid for your life. Yes, the guy was 77, but how would the guy with the tire iron be portrayed to the jury? Was the 77 year old a “gun nut” who loads his own ammo, practices regularly shoot at “human-style” paper targets and was spoiling to kill someone? An evil prosecutor can imply a lot of things.
Then in most jurisdictions there is the question of what would a “reasonable man” have done in the same situation. Unfortunately in liberal areas, a “reasonable man” might be required to call the police (even if they have long response times) and retreat.
In the concealed carry courses I have had, if you need to use your personal concealed carry weapon, you should plan on going to jail, have the contact information for a good attorney familiar with local gun laws in your wallet, and be certain, that your life (or someone you care about’s life was in immediate danger.)
I agree, you should have kept the Python.
My brother has one that I have shot on many occasions.
It is a nail driver right out of the box.
It comes primarily from de Jouvenal. But the phenomenon has been observed going bak to Antiquity.

My neighbors would notice. Then they would blackmail me non-stop for free tomatoes.
There are other options. We all know how precious your tomatos are.
Buy a dehydrator and start making home made doggy treas.
It could be a profitable home business.
Wow, is this AI writing or a fourth grader writing?
That’s Hunter’s choice.
In that neighborhood, known for heavy drug trafficking and violence, it would be pretty easy to know where things are headed when your home is approached by three thieves and crowbar. Unfortunately, in Oakland, police response time, once measured with a watch, is now measured by a calendar. Yet, the democrat-soros stranglehold of the city openly displays its contempt for self defense by citizens. It’s also interesting that the city can muster cops to arrest such a citizen, while seemingly unable to respond to actual crimes.
I have an original Python made in the 70s. 4 inch barrel, electroless nickel plated. Near 100% condition with the original box and the sales receipt. I had it appraised at nearly $4,000.
Beautiful gun. I love shooting it.

AI-generated nonsense.
Oakland isn't tranquil.
The gunshot was not the onset but the the end to the alarming events, unless you count the arrest of the homeowner as alarming. Which I do.
And if the perp wants your life you have to give that, too.
Not in my experience.
Don’t forget the crowbar and the fake gun.

The problem he has is that he apparently shot the hood while he was still outside the residence, and may have been still on the fence he hopped to get in the yard. Then, wisely in my estimation, he refused to give police a statement about the shooting.
When a shooter won’t talk to the police after killing someone in the yard, somebody is getting arrested.
