[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;18806312]You dont sneak into someones house shouting do you?[/QUOTE] Apparently he was shouting at her from outside, read the article, but the call has no evidence
[QUOTE=Vince323;18806290]ITT facepunch debates whether killing a criminal with the intent to rape and murder you was justified[/QUOTE] The way you put that made it sound hilarious.
[QUOTE=Urkel01;18806209]if i ever actually got robbed i wouldn't be dumb enough to try and confront the invader, I would call the police and let them handle it. news flash: trying to act like a "badass" often gets you killed in real life :smile: yes, the term babby is from the "how is babby formed" meme, how astute of you!! "[img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-qq.gif[/img]" - you[/QUOTE] Acting like a "badass" =/= defending yourself from an intruder who is willing to harm you. What are you going to do? hide under your bed until the police come? You know how long it takes for them to respond? The intruder would have plenty of time to beat the shit out of you or kill you, AND steal your stuff. I would make it clear I'm armed, tell him the cops are coming, tell him to leave or get on the ground. If he pulls a gun/knife or comes at me, I shoot. If he dies so be it. At least I'm not dead, like you probably would be.
[QUOTE=Urkel01;18806279]any dumbass could tell you that a shotgun is too large for home defense lol this is the most retarded argument "hey guys maybe we shouldn't kill burglars on sight?" clearly = "i love all burglars and will try to be friendly with them if they enter my home" do you literally have downs syndrome or something?[/QUOTE] She was perfectly justified in shooting him. I'm sure she isn't an expert marksman and didn't have time to think about how she was going to incapacitate him without killing him while he was throwing a table through her door and entering. You're the one that said that it could be a homeless man just looking for a can of beans. How fucking naive can you be?
[QUOTE=Malumbre;18806289]It was recorded. Watch the video, you can hear it. She tells them she's going to shoot, he breaks in, she shoots, then prays, all while on the phone with dispatch.[/QUOTE] Got some homework to do and it's getting very late so I'll take your word on it. Good job on killing a crazy robber that was a threat to her life then I guess.
[QUOTE=Bredirish123;18806324]quotes[/QUOTE] It would be nice if they didn't cut out 80% of the call
[QUOTE=Mr. Mcguffin;18805972]Not what I'm fucking talking about. How many times do I have to repeat myself. I'm sure it seemed her only option, and I might have done the same thing.[/QUOTE] You're right. People saying all this "Good riddance" stuff etc, I find it disturbing. She was in a situation that no one in reality land wants to be in. And that's the good thing about having a gun, for that purpose. Just in case. I don't know about you but this kind of situation is very grisly and terrifying. I'm going to end this post by saying she was in the right.
[QUOTE=Perfumly;18806224]Yeah you gotta go w. the akimbo deagles.[/QUOTE] nahhh large calibre rifles [QUOTE=iatealawnmower;18806229]Why would you gun down an elephant? :X[/QUOTE] ivory piano keys [QUOTE=Kondor;18806232]Sorry I totally forgot guns were permanently set to 'kill'[/QUOTE] sorry to dissapoint you, guns are made to kill people.
[QUOTE=Kondor;18806304]There wasn't any evidence for it though, the phone call conversation between the woman and criminal is non existent[/QUOTE] Oh yes I'm sure that the granny was there with the shotgun just waiting for someone to come in the window so that she could satisfy her blood lust. My Grandma can hardly remember the name of the school I've been going to for the past year. I wouldn't falt her even if she did shoot without a warning.
[QUOTE=Kondor;18806349]It would be nice if they didn't cut out 80% of the call[/QUOTE] That's because it was only a highlight of the article. The point being is, if the police didn't have irrefutable proof that she gave a warning, and that he was being threatening there would be a lot more to this.
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;18804676]Zeke would try and negotiate. The police would find his dead body a week later.[/QUOTE] I would hold the man there at gunpoint until the cops arrived because I am familiar with the laws of my country. If I shoot someone point blank and they're unarmed, I go to jail.
[QUOTE=Mr. Mcguffin;18806174]Because my mind then wanders to her looking at his bloody dying body splayed across her living room floor.[/QUOTE] Still funny. [img]http://i47.tinypic.com/2hwkykz.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=mike;18806363]nahhh large calibre rifles [/QUOTE] I was joking
[QUOTE=Perfumly;18806385]I was joking[/QUOTE] i know :) let's go kill some elephants. and lions. i fancy a new rug.
[QUOTE=TH89;18806380]Still funny. [img]http://i47.tinypic.com/2hwkykz.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Lol wtf are you doing?
[QUOTE=Kondor;18806349]It would be nice if they didn't cut out 80% of the call[/QUOTE] Maybe they're hiding something.

Seems kind of paranoid.
[QUOTE=mike;18806391]i know :) let's go kill some elephants. and lions. i fancy a new rug.[/QUOTE] Ok I'll bring the deagles and the clips
[QUOTE=TH89;18806380]Still funny. [img]http://i47.tinypic.com/2hwkykz.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] If only life had musical stings.
[QUOTE=Malumbre;18806393]Lol wtf are you doing?[/QUOTE] Illustrating

[QUOTE=DamagePoint;18806402]Maybe they're hiding something.[/QUOTE] What you hear is actually her breaking the window and shooting the post man
[QUOTE=Kondor;18806349]It would be nice if they didn't cut out 80% of the call[/QUOTE] I thought I asked you for your street address.
[QUOTE=TH89;18806421]Illustrating[/QUOTE] you should be one of those guys who draws artists' impressions
[QUOTE=Zeke129;18806373]I would hold the man there at gunpoint until the cops arrived because I am familiar with the laws of my country. If I shoot someone point blank and they're unarmed, I go to jail.[/QUOTE] That idea works on paper, not in real life.
[QUOTE=Urkel01;18805338]that was before I learned he threw a table at her, self-defense is cool w/me but the bloodthirsty attitude you guys are taking is dumb as hell. sorry for not supporting the death of other human beings, i guess. believe it or not, but "break into my house and i'll fucking kill you" isn't the most mature viewpoint sorry mr. hardass but killing people is less simple than you think and has consequences. i know you love to dwell in your call of duty modern warfare fantasy world, but this is the real world. :smile: perhaps, but at least it would've been better than immediately shooting to kill not literally, but you guys seem to practically fantasize about shooting random home invaders with your favorite gun yeah but this thing has happened in texas before (murder of teenagers excused because of castle doctrine) and you guys seem to be in full support of killing any stranger who ventures near your home, so.... no, are you dumb? this is what nonlethal deterrents are for, not excessive force. if I were in this situation i would not aim for the chest (and not with a shotgun)[/QUOTE] Sp you want someone to slowly bleed to death? Heres a short description of what buckshot is. A handful of 30 caliber bullets traveling at high velocity. The impact to the chest would have kill him instantly, as apposed to a shot to the leg... which would have made him bleed to death in agony.
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;18806423]You'd piss yourself with the very idea of having a gun in your possession, and he'd rape you.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I wouldn't mind having a gun but I'm worried this might happen: [img]http://i48.tinypic.com/1zlfwxk.jpg[/img]

Still, I think the woman is right. Imagine it was your grandma, would you really have wanted her to throw the shotgun away and do nothing?
