Dave Jones Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Should have just shot them from the bedroom window while the wife called 911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Absolutely pathetic, charged for defending his property from obvious criminal intent and potential death with video footage to prove it. I'd have grabbed one of the rifles and aimed to kill, no if ands or buts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I saw this case not long ago on another forum. Pretty sad when someone can try to burn you alive in your home and you're defenseless in the eyes of the law. Put my family at risk and I won't even think twice.

Headhunter Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have to agree with everyone who has replied so far... survival instinct would take over in a flash... That being said, I am however awaiting a post here from someone who will disagree with the majority and tell us why he deserves to go to jail... or why he should have just moved his residence...

fishing n autograph Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Wow, I woulda forgot about the warning shot and woulda hit them.... And no, I don't think he should be in jail HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing n autograph Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Too bad big brother harper and his government is dragging their feet when it comes to the promise they made to change the law when it comes to protecting your property etc...

HTHM Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I cannot see these charges sticking, one: he used reasonable force against a clear and present danger to his and his family's life. two: the political fallout will be huge. three: it just ain't right.

muddler Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Should have used a shot gun. Harder to miss. muddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I agree with everything said here aswell. I find it unreasonable that they also took all his firearms away. Now he is defenseless!!!!! And weren't they big, tough men to throw a molotov cocktail into the dog pen, I mean really, what a bunch of asses!

Terry Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 the man should go to jail they were trying to burn down his property and wanted to kill his family with fire and he only fired the gun, he should be jailed for not shooting that criminals man I would have shot them, pissed on them and shoved one of those chickens up their butts and lit it on fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Should have used a shot gun. Harder to miss. muddler I like your logic, new model 12ga. 40 round, circular mag, fully automatic, much less chance of missing. Can also be equipped with .12ga grenades if they manage to get out of range. You have a place in my society, criminals should be shipped north to Churchill, I heard the Polar bears are hungry.

doubleheader Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Seems to me this gentleman acted very appropriately. I would like to think I would handle something like this equally well but who knows in the panic of the moment. My question for the authorities is, "How else could this man have saved his home and pets?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
