Dad Saves the Day!
I was at home last night watching a particularly boring game of football between the Steelers and the Ravens when I decided to get on the computer and check out the news. Yes, the game was that uneventful at least till the end. Anyway, a story caught my attention about a father who killed a man who broke into his home.
The bad guy broke in through a window and went straight for the daughter’s room who screamed and woke the father. This bad guy was not a normal burglar. He was a registered sex offender. When the father got to his daughter’s room, he found this 52 year old man naked except for a mask, knife, rope and condoms. Clearly not there to steal the family silverware.
Luckily, the father was able to wrestle the ol fart down to the ground and put him in a head lock. Must have been a boa constrictor headlock cause when the cops got there, the man was dead.
I say justice served and good riddance! He got exactly what he deserved and no one will have to worry about their daughter getting raped because of this piece of you know what.
You know, that story had a good ending even though the family is justifiably shaken up. But one thing just really bothers me about the official statement from the authorities. The police say they don’t ANTICIPATE any charges being brought against the father.
Not clear cut, just that they don’t “anticipate” any charges.
Maybe I’m just reading it wrong but there shouldn’t be any question that the father is completely in the right about any action he took against this home invader. Just think of the consequences if Dad was overpowered by this scum. Probably killed with the knife and who knows what to the daughter.
A nice big can of pepper spray to the face would have stopped the attack with less violence but with today’s judges, he could be back on the street in no time planning his next break-in.
In any case, it’s always a good idea to be prepared. Keeping self defense tools around the house that are easily accessible could help you fend off a bad guy too.
Pepper Spray, especially the extremely hot Wildfire 18%, would make anyone change their plans whatever they were planning to do. One blast of pepper spray and this guy would have been running down the street trying to put out the fire on his face. And with the vegetable dye staining his face, police would have no problem identifying him.
Anyway, great job Dad! You saved your family and took a bad guy off the street.
Be safe!
