Always be prepared! This woman had every right to defend herself. You can hear the scumbag pounding on the door to break in to her home.

Remember, when seconds count, the police are only MINUTES away!!!!!

what would i do? give her a high five.

 

[oddyager]

I can only imagine what she was going through then and going through now. If I were in her shoes I would have done the exact same. No hesitation.

 

[ViviTheMage]

pretty intense

My wife was talking about this yesterday, they played it on the local shitty morning radio show. She was all upset just thinking about how shitty it had to have been going through this situation like this old lady did for 25 mins (clip is cut down).

Of course I would have done the same as this woman did. I wouldn't take it lightly, it wouldn't have been a easy decision to take another life, but I would defend myself and home give the chance 10 times out of 10.

What kind of podunk police dept has a 25 min response time?

 

[Genx87]

One less shitbag society has to deal with, props to this lady for defending herself.

The ones where you live in the middle of no where.

When you live in a area like her yea you have peace, but you also are farther from police, medical, etc... help

What kind of podunk police dept has a 25 min response time?

Most of departments, in rural areas!

Betcha a coke that the old lady deals meth and she shorted the dude on a bag.

What kind of podunk police dept has a 25 min response time?

Places where the officer has 20 miles of back roads to drive.

 

[jaha2000]

He threw a table though a door to get in, obviously he had some issues.

I would have done the same thing for sure!

 

[JulesMaximus]

This is a stupid question...I'd have shot the guy, of course.

what would you do

 

[slackerinabox]

I'm as liberal as they come, and am against the death penalty. But this woman did exactly what she should have done in this situation. Called the cops, warned the perp, then fired one debilitating shot once he answered her warnings with aggression.

I will add that this reminds me of a weird reason why I love owning two dogs - I'll never die in my sleep from a home invader - my dogs would wake me even if someone suspicious parks in front of our place.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Too bad she feels remorse. I blame Religion.

and what do you suggest she do? police were not there and wouldn't be for a few minutes. the guy was getting into her house.

really what do you suggest?



I live in the country. if we have a fire or police emergency it would take about 20-30 minutes for the cops/fire department/EMS to get here. we understand that if we have a house fire the house is gone (we also pay more home owner insurance then friends in town) and in the event of a accident we need to know what to do (both me and my wife have taken many first aid class's).
only thing we don't own is a gun (well have a old .22 but not sure it works. thing is really old). my wife keeps saying we need to get one but we put it off. not to mention i have little experience with them and have no idea what one ot get.

 

[KentState]

Poor lady will always have to question if she did the right thing or not.

 

[darkxshade]

All things considered, she did everything by the book. She gave a verbal warning including the part where she's armed and on the phone with police and it wasn't until he broke the patio door window and stepped inside when she fired the shot. Sounds like she was cool and collected.

 

[meltdown75]

Chambered.
