Basically the 92 year old heard them, and then set up an "ambush".
Now, if the guy would of told the intruders that he had a firearm and he was going to use it if they still proceeded, and they still broke down the door to the living room, free and clear.
By his own account, he wasn't scared for his life.
I can see it being murder on his end.
Everyone is giving him a break due to his age.
I have read 2 articles on it..it all went down pretty fast.
He heard the noise where they entered in the basement...then went and grabbed a rifle...they kicked in the door {basement}..which actually means the upstairs where he was at.
He shot and killed one...the other two took out their friend where he died later.
Yes the old man was scared,,,thus why he grabbed the rifle,him saying he wasn't scared is just acting tough to the media.
I wouldnt have alerted the home invaders where I was at in the house either....yelling will have done just that.
"Hey the old man might have a gun...lets go and come back again after he falls back asleep"..or "we need to change our plan..go look in the windows and see where he is..cap the old guy"
The fact they kicked in the door pretty much means they prepared to do the old man harm....who would sleep through a door getting kicked in?...this wasnt an ordinary lets take the old mans stuff while he is asleep break in.
Its a good thing the old man heard them and was able to grab a rifle.
The old man had been getting ripped off badly prior from stolen cattle to firearms ...Good thing he obtained another rifle.
When I lived at a prior residence I was getting ripped off due to my location...the law was of no use.
I caught the little dick in my house and terrorized his punk ass for about three hours..from drinking dirty dish water to begging for his life...does this make me a criminal?.{not by law standard but by moral standard}
Not IMO..many of the items cant be replaced...stuff that was handed down through the family....as well as...
Autographs,promotional albums not available to the public,pictures of myself with various actors and actresses.
Phone records,Phone books with numbers in the back with personal phone numbers to the Attorney General, member of the house of representatives,prominent bands,some actors and actresses,comedians...hell even my birth certificate.
But what really pissed me off was some private photos of an individual whose career could be thoroughly damaged if made public.
If I had it to do all over again I would smash his fucking head and scatter his brain matter for insect feed
