A man who said he was having trouble with his car convinced Kenneth Byrd, age 67, to open his door. His wife and 19 year old granddaughter were at home at the time.
That was all the opportunity the three man home invasion crew needed. The trio burst into the home, guns drawn and threatened the residents.
According to local media reports, what happened next was nothing short of terrifying:
The Byrds were pushed to the back of their home and instructed to open a safe.
When the men tried to rape the couples granddaughter, Byrd grabbed a gun and exchanged shots with the assailants, [Sheriff Kenneth Sealey] said.
The men fled in Byrds car.

If that had happened in Florida, granpa would have been charged with child endangerment.

I grew up in a house where the front door locked with an old fashion skeleton key.
They were for sale to anyone at the Five and Dime store for 10 cents.
But we never locked the door anyway.
Most of the time Mom and Dad didn’t even know where the key was located.
Now I keep my 12 gauge pump next to the front door.
If a suspicious person is at the door I rack it and watch their faces through the little door viewer.
Most don’t know what the noise signifies and just keep yakking.
But some recognize the sound and they quickly hightail it out of there when they hear it.

I wouldnt open my door to any of these punks.

One of them was known and trusted by the family. Byrd also let it be known that he didn’t trust banks and had large sums of cash.

Some 300 lb person of color just knocked on my door about 30 minutes ago to ask, “Can I use your restroom?”
I answered “no”, btw, and then a bunch of expletives, opinions, and questions. WTF? is going on?

The guy is a hero. Congress should give him the Freedom Medal. They won’t. America must rise up and be retaken from the scumbags.

I hope gramps at least shot dead one of the 2 without the face tattoos. The one with the face tattoo already broadcasts to the world “bad egg”.

They look like some of Barry’s imported, “unaccompanied minors”. IOW. “America’s future”.

...Taking the bus downtown with my cousin as 14 year olds to see a movie...No trouble, no fear, everyone was respectful....Bus picked us up and dropped us off right at the front yard....Early 70s, thats how quickly this country has turned into a cesspool...As Reagan said, it takes only 1 generation and it is upon us now...You are describing Newark, NJ in the 1950s.

Ok, how soon before Eric Holder begins an investigation into Grandpa’s actions, and the two survivors and family of the dead perp sue?

In a part of town near where I live, when it's winter, folks pull up to the (small) grocery store and leave their engines running while they go in and do their shopping. My key/ignition switch is so worn that while the truck is running, I can leave it in neutral, set the parking brake, pull my keys out, hop out, lock the doors and head into the store for smokes and coffee.
Safety recall? Deadly crash waiting to happen? No, sir. It's a value-added feature, I say!

Well done Mr. Byrd! My prayers go with you for a speedy and complete recovery. May you get to watch those you didn't shoot be sentenced to life imprisonment.

Teardrop tattoos, generally speaking, were prison tattoos... with a variety of meanings... before adopted by the 99%ers. They could signify a memorial for murdered fellow gang or family members, OR how many times the wearer was raped while in prison.
Tattoos/brands are marks of ownership... for slaves, livestock, and prison bitches.

A couple of weeks ago a homeowner shot at a kid who invaded his home. His family was with him. Rather than shoot the kid he fired his gun into a wall to scare him. The kid ran. Later he was arrested and charged with child endangerment and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
