This is the stuff that gets under my skin. Almost this entire article was about the parties and how "rowdy" the house is. Who cares?!! Bitching neighbors and complaining makes a robbery less meaningful? Complain about that crap to the right people and do me a favor writers, stop downplaying what actually happened here. This was an ARMED ROBBERY ATTEMPT! The shooting may be related to a party or something else....whatever, it does not excuse an ARMED ROBBERY ATTEMPT. Just because they have parties and don't pick up after those parties does not mean it's OK to Rob the place!
No mention if the person that killed the robber was licensed to carry or not. He must have been, or that would be all over the article I would hope. The point here is, someone broke into a residence in an attempt to rob said residence. They were ARMED. So was an occupant of the home and they got shot. Guess what? I don't feel sorry for the robbers one bit. I might feel a little sorry for the reason this person somewhere in his life, was brought up to the point that he was willing to commit this crime, but they knew what they were doing the second they stepped into that home.
All the laws and changes involving gun control are making me dizzy. If that one occupant in that home was not armed and an unarmed person confronted one of the armed robbers, then an innocent non law breaking citizen could have been killed instead!
"But he was making a lot of noise during a party the night before and left a beer bottle in my yard"......ARGHHHHH
You crooks and robbers out there are going to realize soon, unless you're too dumb like these guys, that people are protecting themselves more and more, and if you go into someones home you better think twice whether it's worth the risk!
Now the LEGAL concealed weapon holders in Florida are going through another battle on another changing gun law. Check out the link and email the people listed if you care.
What is so ridiculous is getting a gun is easier for the common criminal than it is for a non criminal. I am legally licensed to carry and yes I have guns. I go to the range with my buddies and I enjoy the sport of shooting. I respect the weapons and understand the weapons. I also take extreme care to abide by the law with them. I also know how to protect my home from any threats, just in case any "robbers" were getting any dumb ideas!
I say leave the law abiding citizens that are protecting themselves alone and lets go after the criminals!
There seems to have been a bit more stories just like this one recently across the US. It also seems that when the stories are covered, the coverage is all about how sad the dead criminals family are, or what a tragedy the criminal had to die. What about the victims? What about the laws that were broken? The victim was actually able to save himself or herself and the story turns to that sad dead criminal? The homeowner survived and the robber is dead so lets write about the robber? Does anyone think that the person that had to defend themselves in fear for their life might have issues for the rest of their life just for the trauma of doing what they had to do to survive?
It's sad when ANYONE dies, but you know what? Maybe, just maybe, you should not break into someones home armed or not? Just a suggestion....
