My Read
__________
It would probably be best if you read the actual article instead of creating your own “read” that bears little resemblance to the actual facts.
First: there was no suspected home invader/rapist. As the attached story clearly relates, the dad knew exactly who was in the house, to wit, his daughter’s girlfriend.
Second: The girl was not ever a hostage. It was her boyfriend.
Third: It’s pretty clear that the father is not the ‘good guy’. My goodness, he admittedly fired his weapon blindly into a room in which his daughter was present. He will never win a dad of the year contest that way.
Fourth: It is most obvious that in this situation, father clearly LOST his head, not kept it. I think most sentient beings would recognize that shooting a gun through a door behind which your daughter is present is not the sign of a person thinking clearly.
Fifth: What possible God do you worship that would consider this situation miraculous? It certainly is not the Christian God.
As for the defense fund ... knock yourself out. Good money after bad.
I hope the young man regains at least enough feeling so he can get about with leg braces and crutches, or the paralysis doesn't fully affect both sides. I also would like to know how the "friend" who tipped off the dad feels about what his 'phone call has resulted in.
