Yet another case of a home owner trying to protect his family and home. This time on long island against 25 gang members.

But he's only one voter. There's 25 other voters there that they have to consider!!

I ment to write " warning shots". Oh well, you guys have come to expect that stuff from me at this point.

I thought this looked familiar. Dated September 7, 2010. Not that it's any less meaningful today...just that it isn't exactly current.

What's interesting is that he was reasonably defending himself AND he called 911 before anything happened, yet he ends up on the wrong side of the law. Same with Zimmerman. Same with a bunch of others.

Who does the law serve, exactly? If more stuff like this happens, the take-away here might be "don't bother calling 911".

But sir, don't you realize this home-owner was

interfering with this gang's right to loot his home?

Of course the police were pissed.

Gangs are supposed to be getting away scot-free.

Instead, they were exposed to gunfire without proper ear

protection. The LEOs have to take care of these gangs,

otherwise, they won't be able to justify their own

existence.

Really, I think the most important thing is the local LEOs

did show up the same day to file a report on the incident.

I know I'd certainly hate for my family to get raped an killed

without the proper paperwork...

It seems to me that the problem is he missed the gang members.

I'm sorry, but dredging up 17 month old stuff is getting old. Find a follow up and re-post
