SAN DIEGO - It was a bizarre end to an attempted burglary at a Point Loma home early Tuesday.

Keith Groves heard a crashing sound and then another at 4:22 a.m.

"I jumped out of bed," he said. "I don't sleep with any clothes on and I was stark naked. I looked out and saw the garage door was open and my kitchen window was broken."

Groves ran back to the bedroom for one item: a handgun. He did not bother to dress.

"And I went outside with no clothes and saw this guy standing in the garage and I confronted him, tried to be as bad-looking as I possibly could, probably pretty funny-looking," said Groves. "I yelled real loud to my neighbor, 'Joel, call the cops.'"

The garage houses a classic in mint condition: a '32 Ford Roadster. The man was standing next to it, smoking a cigarette.

Groves tried to project an image as he stood on his driveway in all his glory, pointing a gun at the would-be burglar.

"I'm not going to tell you what I said on camera because it was very vulgar," he said. "I dropped a bunch of f-bombs and tried to sound like a real bad guy, which I'm not … But I impressed him that I was."

Soon, he heard the welcome sound of sirens. A patrol officer arrived and the retired San Diego Fire-Rescue Department battalion chief was able to get dressed.

He has a belated New Year's resolution.

"I will put some shorts by my bed," he said.
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

In California, the burglar might have been admiring the man's "gun" instead of worrying about his gun. "Gee, you REALLY ARE glad to see me."

Good acting requires an imagination; reality requires a person not getting lost in their imagination.

The intruder should have been intimidated by a man unfazed by a night raid and fearless enough to join battle "berserk", i.e. shirtless, or naked.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

If only he had the time to paint himself blue before attacking. FREEDOM!!! :lol:
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.
