[quote] [TUSCUMBIA, AL (WAFF) - An elderly man beaten in a home invasion Tuesday evening has died. Police said 88-year-old Elbert Davis Jr. lived alone and was found by acquaintances around 7 p.m. Tuesday inside his home. It appears someone forced entry into the house through the back door. Davis was found in the basement of the home on N High Street across from Deshler Middle School. Davis was airlifted to Huntsville Hospital in critical condition. He died at the hospital of his injuries. The Alabama Bureau of Investigation will be assisting Tuscumbia Police in the investigation. It is now a capital murder case. Investigators have been combing the home looking for anything that could give them insight as to what happened. Police believe the person or persons responsible broke through part of the fence and then forced their way inside Davis' home. Tuscumbia Police Chief Tony Logan has had his officers guarding the crime scene since they arrived Tuesday night making sure they can gather as much evidence as possible during the first 48 hours, which are the most critical in any crime - especially those involving death. "We have an obligation to the family of the victims to pool and use every resource that we have at our disposal and we have an excellent relationship with ABI and they're assisting us in this investigation. We want to make sure we don't miss anything and we owe that to the Davis family," said Logan. Davis was said to be an avid golfer and spent nearly every day on the golf course at Spring Park. Those who know Davis are trying to wrap their minds around this crime. "Something like this is just terrible. It's terrible," said Denise Province. Province works at the golf course in Spring Park. "He's a very caring, a very sweet man. He would give you his shirt off his back - didn't have an enemy. I cannot believe something like this would happen to him," she said. Province said she talked to Davis just hours before he was found by police. She said a crime of this nature is just too hard to believe. "I just couldn't believe it was him because he's never ever hurt anybody. I just cannot believe it's happened to him. He's a very special person," she said. With Davis' killers on the run, Province and others are taking extra security steps at home. "I locked my bedroom door last night. You know, I've got my doors locked but I've got my bedroom door locked also and I hope they get caught soon," said Davis. [/quote] You fucking bastards, who the fuck beats an old person to death? How unfeeling and inhuman can you be to just pummel someone until it kills them?
Pieces of shit
What kind of fucking reason do you have to do this?

wasn't there some enormous multi-dozen page shitstorm where one side was saying home invaders won't hurt you if you don't try to shoot them or something?
This is so fucked up
[QUOTE=The Baconator;37463328]wasn't there some enormous multi-dozen page shitstorm where one side was saying home invaders won't hurt you if you don't try to shoot them or something?[/QUOTE] Pretty sure it was just one person who was just exceptionally stupid in general.
Whoa, actually beating him to death. No, not just shooting him, actually physically beating him to death. Sick peices of shit.
Shit like this is happening, yet there are people with the audacity to suggest banning guns, saying that all the world's problems would be solved.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;37463328]wasn't there some enormous multi-dozen page shitstorm where one side was saying home invaders won't hurt you if you don't try to shoot them or something?[/QUOTE] I don't like to trust home invaders not to do things like that.
Tuscumbia isn't that nice of a place if you've actually been there. I mean there's Helen Keller's house and Spring park and a golf course, you move away from those area's and it's pretty damn Ghetto.
Home invasions scare the piss out of me. Hearing stories like this make me really paranoid.

[QUOTE=Apache249;37464202]That guy should get the hell in here.[/QUOTE] You know he won't, it's a flame sentence.
Spend all your life working. Finally retire and spend your time doing nothing but harmlessly playing golf. Get killed for no reason by some fucking greedy bastard assholes.
[QUOTE=Apache249;37464202]That guy should get the hell in here.[/QUOTE] Well what can you expect from a spineless knight of twisted moral logic. They always go hide under a rock when shit like this happens.
Banning guns != banning self defense Ever heard of knives and blunt objects like baseball bats? They can defend you too.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;37463328]wasn't there some enormous multi-dozen page shitstorm where one side was saying home invaders won't hurt you if you don't try to shoot them or something?[/QUOTE] That's funny, saying that a robber [b]WON'T[/b] hurt you under some circumstances, almost like as if it's exact science.

legalize hand-thrown TNT, ban guns.
[QUOTE=Apache249;37463959]Shit like this is happening, yet there are people with the audacity to suggest banning guns, saying that all the world's problems would be solved.[/QUOTE]And what happens when the criminals get the gun off you?
I think there should be a variationg for Godwin's law for the mentioning of gun restrictions. Because this is beyond ridiculous. Gunwin's law? Gunban's law? Dakkadakkadakka? [sp]"This wouldn't have happened if there weren't laws restricting access to guns" law?[/sp]

I'm tired of hearing these stories, anyone who bashes into my house, and is not someone I know, I won't think twice. I'm not dying so some asshole can steal some of my priceless valuables.
