Some Hoodrat tried to break into a home in Dallas and was shot and killed. It will add to the gun deaths but its a good shooting. Another hoodrat gone to hell. LOL

Imagine that... Breaking and entering turns out to be hazardous to your health.

Imagine, some people find the topic of killing to be entertaining. The homeowner was in the right, but that doesn't mean we should celebrate this.

Creepy to say the least.

I'm not celebrating the death, I think it's a shame. The homeowner is not likely celebrating either, he took a life and I don't think anyone is really prepared to do that mentally. But remember that the criminal didn't have to make that choice. He put his life in the 'pot' and rolled the dice.

This is why I keep a 12 gauge and a handgun in my house...you never know.

If you break into my house while I'm home, I must assume you intend to harm me and you will be leaving feet first, most likely in a receptacle with a zipper.

Nothing personal.

Pipkins' mother, Catherine, said she had been called to the scene by her daughter-in-law and said the crime sounded like something her son would do.

"Yeah, it's something he would do ... Somebody called me and said my son got shot. That's the reason I'm standing here," said Catherine Pipkins.





In England, that homeowner would be facing murder charges.
GOD Bless America... For the time being.

Elderly man kills intruder in Oak Cliff home - Dallas News | myFOXdfw.com

Slightly different perspective...same broad strokes.

Apparently his relatives felt he deserved a warning.

Um....not.

Yep, that's a sign of good parenting right there.

What's not to celebrate? The homeowner was uninjured and a crime was stopped.

The mothers honesty about her trifling son is refreshing. Sometimes you're kids are just bad no sense claiming they're good when you know differently.
