Homeowner Shoots Intruder While Waiting for Police | |
Polkahonkus User ID: 7941847 United States 07/11/2019 03:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another idiot dispatcher asking the caller what color their house is and how many cars in the driveway. With today's GPS and phone tracing that dispatcher should know exactly where the call is coming from. Quoting: Joe in Joshua Tree Don't trust authority figures. If the dispatcher says "stay on the line with me"...fuck her...do what you need to do. In this case that guy should have hung up the phone and shoot the robber. My favorite shows are Forensic Files and The New Detectives. I can not tell you how many times an intruder has followed a phone conversation to a closet, opened the closet and killed the homeowner. It happens many times. Also...one other thing I've noticed on these shows. Robbers break in wanting to steal only, but if you leave a butcher knife on the kitchen counter top the thief will grab it and kill you with it. Many thieves don't come armed. But if they see a large knife in the kitchen they most likely will stab you with it. Want to stay safe? Lock your doors, fence in your yard, have a dog or two. With the dog house right out front. Put signs on your fence to...Keep Out, Beware of the Dog. ............... Asking about the cars is so they know if some third person has wandered into the situation. The best way to stay safe is to live clean and do good. And always see the big picture. |

Quoting: Only Original Documents I recall that show years ago where they played those types of 911 calls. And I remember more then once the dispatcher asking if the homeowner was armed when they said yes, then the focused on getting that homeowner to drop the weapon because “officers were on the way” I remember being astounded hearing that. An intruder in the home, the person hiding in dispatchers would ask them to drop the weapon, cops weren’t even there yet. Thank goodness this turned out better. Hope they do a follow up report. I had a similar situation once. I told the dispatcher to tell me when the officers arrive, and are getting out of their care. Then, and only then, will I put away my weapon. In my situation, the assholes were still outside, slashing screens. The police arriving scared them away. I was 19 years old, home alone, and terrified. Same situation for me. Home alone, had a loaded gun and someone was outside banging on my windows trying to get in. Dispatcher had me stay on the phone the whole time. Then started asking me if I was armed, but this was after I had seen that show many times - plus in California. No way in hell I was going to say I was sitting inside with a loaded gun. Like you, the cops arriving - finally - scared whoever they were away. |

You have to watch out for 29 year olds, they are very dangerous. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77632020 That's very helpful information to the community. Take evasive action if you see a 29-year-old.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77774130 if you reside in a free state you have the authority under theee law to use deadly force to protect self,property etc so this individual needed to confront the break in before it escalated to an illegal entry and contacting 911 w/the simple statement OF I AM IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE AM ARMED AND WILL SHOOT THEM DEAD and not be begging dispatch to do something. any intruders win the coveted Darwin award & most know IT. sounds of crashing ? 911 asking a multitude of BS questions--huh ? was this Love Connection or a 911 dispatch station ? his location,situation,a landmark should have been all needed. anyone remember the guy over in Houston ? witnessing a break in at a neighbors house ? what'd HE tell the dispatch ? gave a situation report AND I'm gonna SHOOT THEM,he did.. and the investigation and trial led to NO conviction. HE did warn them,they didn't listen,kept going in and out so he shot them as the police were taking too long==and was on the line w/911 throughout. IF you have a firearm,know the law,get training,keep your training and either USE IT or hide in a closet cornered like a rat. Yes, but that is TEXAS, and our laws down there are a bit more of the "old school", the way things SHOULD be. Lot more Justice, there in Texas, to be sure. All states should follow suit!

Epic Beard Guy User ID: 76783046 United States 07/11/2019 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good stuff shooting the intruder, hope he can move on from the experience. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77186833 Personally I think it would be easy. If you killed someone like that you did the world a favor. It would not be easy for most people to move on after killing another person. It would be a very difficult thing to get over. I have given this a lot of thought, and I know it would tear my guts out, for a few days, but I would get over it, knowing that what I did was the right thing to do. It is not something I want to do, but I could if the need arose. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage.

Don't lose a minutes sleep, and rest easy, knowing that you did your family, your community, your country, and THE ENTIRE PLANET, a NOBLE SERVICE. |

For me, to actually blow somebody's brains out in your house would be deeply disturbing. That doesn't mean I wouldn't do it. I have endured terrible violence in my life, so maybe I am more realistic about the ugliness of it. |
