Dumbass thought he was bringing a knife to a rape & probably murder but
turns out he brought a knife to a gunfight. And folks want to take our guns
away. When seconds count the police are minutes away.

21 minutes to break in?
BOOM!!

Like I said, dumbass, probably too drunk to figure out how to break in I'm
guessing.

I certainly do not blame the woman for shooting the fucker dead and yes, good
riddance. I am glad to read that the law is on her side in this one. It's not
the same in every state. In some places she'd be charged with manslaughter.

Most of you here know my stance on gun control laws, but in this instance the
dumbass got what he deserved. That is a very composed mum for just 18 years old.
She sounded calm even during the 911 call. He probably targeted her because she
appeared to be an easier target.
One question I would be asking though is why did it take so long to get a cop
there? 21 minutes on the phone and she was the one to shoot him? If it was a
rural area I could understand it, but it doesn't seem to be.

We've had problems in this area with 911 calls being forwarded to the proper
authorities when there is a question of what jusisdiction the call is from or if
the offense happens in one jurisdiction and moves to another. We had an incident
here a few years ago where a young mother was kidnapped. She was spotted in the
back of the kidnapper's car, aparrently in distress, by a motorist who was
unaware of the complete situation just over the county line from where the woman
was kidnapped. The motorist phoned 911 but the message didn't get to the police
dept. that was looking for the young woman until it was too late; she was raped,
murdered, and her body left in a swamp not far from where she was spotted and
yet back in the original jurisdiction where it all started. If there had been
better sharing of information between the two departments she might have been
saved and there have been some statewide changes to 911 policies and training
due to this incident.
I had an incident where a guy was mercilessly beating another guy who was
already down in the ditch in front of my house a few years ago. We called the
sheriff and it was at least 10 minutes before a deputy arrived. Since then I've
kept my rifle at the ready because I think just the sight of it and the sound of
the lever action would have been enough to stop the beating. If not, after a
verbal warning, I'd shoot the guy if it happened today because he could've
killed the guy who was down. As it was, the guy administering the beating got
away before the cops arrived and the guy being beaten was eventually able to get
up & move under his own power.
It's like I always say, when seconds count, the cops are minutes away. And
though I'd prefer non violence, some violent people can only be met with
violence like this scumbag in the picture who preyed on a young woman and her
baby who he knew full well just lost their husband & father; people like
that just don't deserve the air they breathe.

Emergency services response time has and always will be a major problem until
someone invents a teleporter.
I don't know about the laws in Fla but in some places you could have been
arrested for assault had you winged the perp. Fucking laws.
Of course I was talking about your experience Quasi, not the gal who killed the
shitbag breaking into her house. I don't own any firearms but sometimes I wonder
why I don't to be honest. Being non-violent sometimes only goes so far, doesn't
it?
Although I have never owned firearms I have never been opposed to the right for
law abiding citizens to have them and this is a good example why.

Yes, I probably would have been charged with assault but I would expect with
the number of witnesses it would have been trumped by the good samaritan act. As
it was when my kids called me outside to see what was happening all I had to do
was loudly tell them to bring me the phone and I made the 911 call right there
within earshot of what was going on. The guy took off pretty quickly then and
thank goodness for the cordless phone so I was able to make a show of calling.
If not for my kids being there I would have gone over and knocked the shit out
of the asshole & held him for the cops.

Blah said "I don't know about the laws in Fla but in some places you could

This is why I believe wholeheartedly that if you have to shoot someone, you must
kill him. That way there is only one story to tell the police, yours.

Two problems with that idea. 1. I don't have a gun. 2. I don't do favors

I have helped a lot of people over time but they don't help me when I need it so
fuck em. I will work out trades with friends I can count on (who are very few
BTW) but that's pretty much it.

Your letterbox is the only part of your home that is in the public domain (so
to speak).
If someone steps foot on your property you should be able to kill them...
...providing you can prove their intentions.

Florida has a "stand your ground" law as do several other states that
says just that, woberto.

Well I was told by a Sheriff and several other local LEOs that if you shoot
someone in your doorway and he falls out be sure to drag him back in. IF you
shoot someone outside on your property you should have a cheap throw down weapon
just in case.

So this guy has been waiting since Sept 20th to get the word he is NOT going to
face manslaughter charges. Nice to see the wheels of justice turn quickly just
like in the states. Do they use the grand jury system for felonies there like in
a lot of American states?

Now I hear that the accomplice of the dickweed in the photo got so scared when
the shooting started that he called 911 himself in fear for his life.

If you are going to pull a boner like they did then you should be man enough to
take what you get like a man. The very least his accomplice should have done
would have been to go outside and down on his belly with his hands on his head
and wait for the police.
