Good shot
No doubt. That had to be terrifying.
To: artichokegrower
That’s impossible! Security system commercials only show white perps breaking into homes. It can’t possibly be a POC.

Good shootin, Mom

That head looks to be impenetrable... education, counsel, preaching, and smaller caliber bullets bounce right off! She must’ve hit him just right.

Yes.
Despite the wimpy anti-death sentence nerds’ pronouncements about statistics not showing it discourages crime, we can be certain this thug is not going to commit any more crimes.
And how wonderful it is that she was able to shoot him in the head. Not some flesh wound followed by taxpayer paid hospital work and a shifty lawyer getting a lawsuit set up against the woman.
Dead.

"She must’ve hit him just right." That she did. Two shots. One in each eye.

Probably paid by a stolen credit card that was “declined.”
BLM will have to find more white college students to pay them to make up for the loss.

One more example of why the unconstitutional ban on suppressors needs to be removed.

The perp was a career criminal out on parole. His career is over.

Thank you Daily Mail for not spinning this in a negative way for the mother or against guns.
Of course this could be turned into a race issue if the mother is white, you can question if it was truly necessary to shoot the intruder, or smart to have guns in a home with small children, bla bla bla.
You can ALWAYS create some form of doubt and in most cases a reciprocal argument (turning it on its head).
The bottom line in these sort of cases is: 1) You do not know what the intruders intentions are. 2) You do not know their state of mind. 3) You do not know what they are armed with. 4.) The person making the decision to defend themselves and their family usually has a short window of opportunity, a brief moment in time to make this decision.
You should not second guess people that are in such a situation as they do not have 20-20 hindsight knowledge.
That said, even though a life is taken and that is sad, that person was gambling with their life when they decided to break into peoples homes. The mother did absolutely nothing wrong. She did what should come natural, protect herself and her child.
