Escaped Convict Killed by Homeowner

[nachogrande]

AND THEN SOME

Saved the taxpayer's ten's of thousands of $$$$$$

Give that lady an award...

IF the deceased had led a long arrest/trial/incarcerations life, tack on more zero's.

Maybe it's because I grew up in THE city, but I never thought life was roses and lollipops. There are sociopaths and psychopaths and other evolutionary dead ends and just plain biological mistakes out there. Willing to kill or destroy without conscience. No more deserving of my consideration than a cockroach or rat. To go all Walt Disney and be sad because one of them rolled the dice and lost, patooey. A tragedy is when a decent human being is hurt or killed.

If the lady is suffering PTSD the convicts estate or next of kin should pay for it. (One way to get rid of all those supposed berived family members who love to talk to the media.)

There's been a lot of tough-guy responses in this post. I hope I don't see the time where some lowlife forces me to win. We do arm ourselves to win and if the time comes, then it's time to do just that. All the peanut-gallery bravado puts us in a bad light. It makes us look like we're just itchin' to take out a bad guy. Let's all hope we never have to.

I think of this lady who was forced to win. Win she did, but she'll bear some scars for a long time. Depending on her mindset it could be very mentally destructive or maybe she'll get over it pretty quickly. Regardless, the crook essentially forced her to do what she did and I rather doubt she'll be braggin' about it on an internet forum.

This says it for me. I pray I'm never forced to shoot someone to defend my life. If I have to, I will do what must be done.

But if, God forbid, that should happen, I hope I would take no pleasure in culling one lowlife from the herd even if he "needed killin'". I doubt the lady who did what she had to do enjoyed it, no matter how deserved it was, or took pride in saving the state some money. If she did, I would worry about her.

Well said.

I can't speak for so-called 'tough guys,' but if you see enough good guys get killed, it will feel good to see a bad guy get his due.

Jus sayin...

OOPS! WRONG HOUSE!

While I applaud the Lady that defended her self properly and in doing so, escaped bodily harm. I hope and pray that I, or one of my family members, never have to do that. I also pray that if any one of us are in a situation that is life threatening, we shoot straight and are successful in defense.

Have a blessed day,
