Don’t see that at all in the post. Just reasonable observations.

Nope. I’m going through a lessons learned process.

That is precisely the way I am reading these rather critical posts about those poor kids.

Shooting someone in the face multiple times tells me the perps were known and it was personal. I’m calling ENVY as the motive.
To: Zhang Fei
It was in North Carolina.
Blame the anti-gun propaganda for the family not having reddily available protection.
I have seen many messages that the only way to keep guns in the home is unloaded and locked up.

"
Any thoughts on how this family could have done better, if they were able to retrace their steps?"
After what they had been through previously...
1. Lots of firearm training & practice.
2. Drive separate vehicles and arrive at work/home at different times (even by 5 minutes to allow the 1st to get inside and be armed and on the lookout for the 2nd arrival).
Say's a lot about our society where this happens to "average" folks who simply own a local restaurant. What a tragedy.

restaurant was on MLK drive?

“My insight is they were likely behaving like typical North Carolina high school sophomores and not necessarily living in Code Red status.”
After you’ve been robbed that many times you should be at DEFCON 1. Or moving.

That’s the other reason I think the perps were black.

One of my wife’s friends owns a Chinese restaurant.
After paying staff, insurance , taxes, fees licenses, purchasing inventory and supplies, I think they clear about as much as an engineer with 5 or 6 years experience.
Not a lot for the cash investment to have a business and all the long hours and headaches it has.

The way I see it, the kids should have been providing overwatch using AR-15’s fitted with starlight scopes. The moment a gun appeared, they should have shot the perp(s) multiple times. And if they saw gunfire from the cars, they should have riddled them with bullets.

Oh my goodness...at first I thought it was the wife and children that were killed. I’m sorry they lost there father and husband. And, in Durham too.

Here in northern Virginia, we had a time when Asians and Indians were getting robbed for their, supposed stashes of gold and cash. The ones who were caught were either blacks from DC or local illegal alien gangbangers. While it still happens, it’s pretty rare now.

“Here in northern Virginia, we had a time when Asians and Indians were getting robbed for their, supposed stashes of gold and cash. The ones who were caught were either blacks from DC or local illegal alien gangbangers. While it still happens, its pretty rare now.”
I think there’s a sense, probably accurate, that Asians are less likely to resist or resist with armed force. This family’s predicament is in part the result of treating a gun as a talisman. If you produce a gun in response to armed robbery, you must shoot to kill, or the perp(s) will kill you. But in order to kill, you must respond quickly and accurately. Both are precluded without a loaded gun, considerable range time and training for various scenarios.

The wife was not assembling the gun. It was not disassembled, it was not loaded and she was trying to load a magazine. Big difference, but the big problem is why they bought guns but did not have them loaded and ready to use?
A gun is of no use if it is in a drawer and not loaded, as those poor people have now learned.

I’ll bet there are a lot more Asians in Durham than you think——NC has many-—in the last 10 years.

Durham is 5.3% Asian, 37.9% black. Asians are among the most law-abiding groups in the US. I’d bet the rent it was not Asians.
