Is any home robbery “random”? The perps knew what they were doing. It was no accident, no consequence of Brownian Motion.
Why does it matter so much how the perps chose their victims? Note that the article does not seem to fret over whether this was a hate crime. It doesn’t ask where these thugs came from, or whether they were even US citizens.
The article does reveal that our great justice system did nothing to prevent this crime, even though the good (i.e., dead) thug had already committed serious crimes.
Our “justice system” does not sufficiently protect citizens, even in their homes. We coddle the criminals, let them off early from soft, short sentences, and have effectively or actually prevented capital punishment. It becomes more and more the responsibility of the individual to protect himself and his/her family.
A large dog is a help, but in this case the criminals shot the family pet. No neighbors heard that? That another thing the police should be checking out.
What a horrible story, and on the 7th anniversary of the vile Wichita rapes/mass murders. I am so glad the man was able to fight back. Otherwise he, his wife, and the baby probably would have ended up dead and this would have been another sickening outrage. I wonder if the victims were white. If so then we can be sure this would never be reported outside the local area. Though at least we on FR are able to keep informed by seeing news from around the nation.
Of course the Cheshire CT home invasion rape/killings was a huge national story. It was OK with the media in that case since the perpetrators and victims all were white.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away...
