Ever Wonder What's Wrong With People?

**PHFIRENO7783** · 09-30-2008, 02:43 AM

Gonna get off on a rant: So my buddy down the street called me about 1am this morning and said that someone just tried breaking into his house. Him and I are going hunting tomorrow and he was getting his hunting gear ready and heard his dog barking and running around (Dog is inside the house). He see's the security light on the side of the house on, so he figured there was a deer or something out there. Then he starts to hear a banging sound, looks out one of the side windows and sees some Piece Of Shit MotherF$$ker kicking his door in. Runs back into his room and gets his pistol and opens up the blind and points it at the P.O.S.M.F. and then he runs off. I just dont know what these a$$holes are thinking? I mean are you going to risk your life for some cash and or a TV. Me, no cause im a normal human. I would have no problem letting my dog (65lb Boxer) go on someone to protect my properity. And I know this for a fact, that my dog would kill someone that tried breaking into my house. Dont believe me, well ask anyone that knows my dog and they will tell you. Im getting away from the subject.....Why do people have to try to steal? Can't they get a job and work for stuff they want? I mean there are alot of things I want.......but im gonna work and save for the things I want. I know there are alot of people on drugs this day and age, and it make them do crazy things....hey the A$$hole in question was more than likely high on who knows what and was just looking for another fix......Oh well just needed to vent I guess.

I have two german sheperds and I would like to think they would attack an intruder. At least I know I would be started by some loud ass barks and hopefully have enough time to get my gun/guns ready. Then I also think what if they have a gun, no dog is safe then.

I think this crap is going to get worse as times get harder for everybody. I know most are like me or you, I would never hesitate to pull the trigger on someone that broke into my house to steal something from me or harm my family.

The bad part is if he would have shot the intruder your buddy would go to jail.

**sweeney1030** · 09-30-2008, 09:17 AM

we went to get a news paper 10 mins from the house. in our car was a 444 marlin rifle(loaded) and my .38sw (loaded with wad cutters), upon returning home I saw the front door was open. They made off with 21 rifles and shotguns and my grandmothers 1k diamond ring. Ive always wondered what would have happened if I'd have hurried home instead of taking my time , my driveway is a 1/4 mile long and narrow with trees on both sides, they would not have been able to leave and none of the stolen guns had ammo.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they are IN your house and facing you, you can shoot them. If you shoot them in the back or outside while they are getting away, then that is where you can get in trouble. Wasn't there a case in Texas or someplace not too long ago where a guy won a case very similar to this? Jail or no jail... if someone comes into my home, I'll shoot first and then ask questions later.

That's a shame - its rediculous that this crap happens...

Its good that you have some protection... even if people have guns, dogs are one thing that a lot of people are scared to death of.. I have a 6 month old Golden Retriever, and she'd probably greet an intruder like he had a bag of treats.....

Once she gets older, she'll be much more protective, but not at this point

**2001GTTT** · 09-30-2008, 09:55 AM

Thank god no one was hurt first off. But honestly he is right, unless they are personally attacking you, you cant shoot them. And my one law professor told us that if we have to shoot them, make sure you kill them, or else you have a good chance of getting f**ked over in america's great justice system.

I wish he would've let him kick the door completely in so he could've used his personal protection legally.

Yup, some nice gentleman taught me that if someone breaks into my house, shoot them in the front and make sure you finish the job. Putting a shot in the ceiling is also a good idea, since clearly you want to warn the scum that is trying to prey on you that you have a weapon to avoid contact first - because its only fair that way... ;)

He is a 911 dispatcher so he know most of the local police very well. The shift commander lastnight told him he should have let the guy kick open the door and let him take one step in the house and light his ass up with the .40cal S&W. Home owners would have paid for the new door

If the intruder has a gun and shoots my dog, well that is what it is. Dogs are pets, I love my dog and I would never want that to happen. But, Boxer's have been protector's for generations and generations. Its in his blood to protect his home and his family.

Thats one way to do it and make it legal

**Troll** · 09-30-2008, 05:57 PM

To kill someone and get away with it, you basically have to believe in your heart and soul that you and/or one of your loved ones was going to be killed. And/or just be able to convey this to the jury.

Your buddy did the right thing. I know he won't be able to sleep for the next 2 months, but that's better than carrying the burden of killing someone (right or wrong).

I keep the shotgun next to my bed, but I don't keep one in the chamber. I just hope if this exact thing ever happens to me, just the noise of that 12-gauge shell getting racked into the barrell will scare them enough to run away. If not, they deserve death.

Step #1 - Let intruder break into house.

Step #2 - Shoot intruder twice in the heart and once in the head.

Step #3 - Have buddy down the street bring you one of his knives to place in hand on intruder if he/she was unarmed.

Step #4 - Enjoy knowing there is one less POS in the world!

Ed's right on this

First of all, it is great to hear that nobody was hurt. That is always the most important thing. Try to remember that possessions can be replaced, but the lives of you and your loved ones cannot.

I have no sympathy for criminals, and will always support those who defend their homes and families using deadly force. I myself have never been a victim of a burglary, but had very very close family friends who were murdered when I was in the 4th grade. Rich and Donna Hyde in December 1977. Very late one night, a sanitation worker who had previously picked up the garbage at their house broke in and shot Rich with a sawed-off 12 gauge at point blank range, then chased down Donna on the property behind their house where he raped and beat her to death. Their 2 children remained sleeping through it all and fortunately were not harmed, mostly because Donna fled the house when Rich was shot and the man ran after her. Rich was the Principal at a Moon elementary school which has long since been named in his honor.

I have nothing against guns, but I doubt I will ever own one. I'm sure it is because of this experience. 31 years have passed and I still remember it like it was yesterday. The man who committed the crime was caught out of state a few years later, but had previously killed in other states - so he was tried for those crimes and faced several life sentences - but will never be tried for this crime. So, to me, it is like he got away with it, which really stinks...

Im in favor of keeping them alive, beat them down, smash both their hands with a big fn hammer to the point they will never be able to wipe their own ass again. Thats justice!!!
