Texas man, 21, fatally shoots intruder during home invasion

Linkarooni - taking out one is better than none, and his family is safe. Those dickheads picked the WRONG HOUSE:
Texas man, 21, fatally shoots intruder during home invasion
Published February 23, 2013 | FoxNews.com

A 21-year-old Texas man is being credited with protecting his family when he retreated into his family’s bedroom, retrieved a gun and fatally shot one of three intruders who forcefully entered his home, KHOU.com reported.

The family was reportedly baking a cake Thursday night in Harris County when the men knocked on the front door and pushed the father to the ground. KHOU reported that the man thought that the men were friends of his son.

The men lunged for the mother, the report said. At that point the 21-year-old, who was not identified, got his father’s gun and opened fire, killing one of the intruders.

"I just heard a couple of times: boom, boom, boom," the father, told the station. "One young life is lost."

Police later spotted a vehicle with two men who matched the suspects' descriptions and took them in for questioning, the station reported. No charges are expected to be filed against the son.

Happy Dance! :D This fuck deserved it. No telling what they would have done to that family if the son hadn't acted.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

I thought y'all were talking about this one.
DALLAS -An elderly man shot and killed a would-be burglar inside his Oak Cliff home.

Police say the homeowner saw Deyfon Pipkins, 33, trying to climb into the window and fired his weapon at least once at the intruder.

The homeowner is legally protected by the Castle Doctrine, which allows a person to defend his or her home against an intruder.
Evidently Deyfon had a lengthy criminal record. If it were not raining, I'd be outside doing the Happy Dance.

A twofer! And without thread drift, either!
If bad results occur to the perpetrator due to his actions, he should not be heard to complain that he didn't intend for himself to be hurt when he kicked the lid off.
And anyone (I'm looking at you, news media) claims this to be "taking the law into his own hands", this is no more that than applying a bandage and then going to the doctor is practicing medicine without a license.
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". . .

To which my reply is that the law is already in my hands, and always has been. Day to day administration of it has been delegated to Police agencies, but since none of them were there to perform the necessary duties, it falls back on me to do so.
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".
