liberals/democrats disapprove of this. If it were up to democrats we could not own guns so these 2 monsters would have raped and tortured and killed this mother and child.These socialists would have us unarmed.

You know... I was thinking. She was on the phone with the 911 operator (that had to be somewhat comforting) AND she had all that time to “think it out”. I mean she could mentally prepare herself to aim and fire. In no way am I saying she was as calm as a cucumber. I do think, however, the bit of time may have helped her. IMHO.

This is RUEAL Oklahoma. Small town, no telling what the size of the police force. It was also New Years Eve.

Actually the article doesn't say whether she used the 12 guage or “offed” the baddy with her pistol. 12 guages can be pretty messy and she's a busy lady. Probably used the pistol.

Isn't it pathetic that you can get a custom made pizza, delivered to your door faster than the police can get there? And the Delivery folk don't even have sirens or lights on their cars.

Maybe you should find out what the police were up to at the time in this small town of over 7000 befoe making statements like that. Also a video segment on GMA of outide the house gave the impression this house was isolated.

This woman will have no trouble finding a husband, though I feel bad for her recent loss. She needs a vacation, someone to take care of her for a while.

If you click on the link, it appears that there is a police identification picture of the deceased scumbag.

The picture is of the survivor - Stewart. But, you are correct, both likely have rap sheets.

“... someone to take care of her for a while”.

I actually hoped she would bring some family in with her OR move in with some family. She just lost her husband, has a new baby and now this... (if she was my daughter, I’d be there or she’d be home with me). Support from family or friends is always a good thing during those difficult life times IMHO.

This creep just beat to death a beautiful white woman. He beat her to death with a baseball bat. That’s after raping, and torturing her for 2 hours. Her name was Hope Melton. didn’t hear about it? That’s because the liberal mainstream media hid this story. Her story needs to be told so that we all can know what is out there. The media is the enemy.

Pray tell, what could the police in a town of 7,000 possibly have had going on, that was more important than a woman trapped in a house, with two armed invaders kicking down her door? A speeding ticket to be issued? Perhaps a person ran a stop sign?

Most people would call this "Prioritizing" - it's not a difficult skill to master. Did the police have a whole series of houses being attacked by knife wielding teenagers?

Again, I'll wager she could order a pizza and have it to the house before the Police can get there. And this isn't an isolated case, it's not limited to her - the same situation exists where I live, and the odds are fairly high that you enjoy the same status.

Fortunate she wasn't in the NY, the operator would have said no, it wasn't permissible to defend your child and sent to the police to arrest her.

They do however, make a .457 and .50, if you’re into wheelguns.
Both are somewhat uncomfortable to shoot, an nearly impossible to conceal, so I’d stick with the .45.

grabbed her shotgun, ran to her room, grabbed a pistol, put A BOTTLE IN THE BABY’S MOUTH, and called 911.

She prioritized the actions exceptionally well too ;-)

There are towns right around that size in my county that do not have their own police force, relying on county deputies to patrol. Last year the sheriff of our county, with the blessing of the county board of commissioners, pulled all deputies from patrolling rural towns, regardless of whether or not the towns have their own police force.

Rural residents often get screwed in this manner. They still have to pay property taxes which fund the sheriff's department.

I am a police officer in CA, and you need to recognize that it was a 21 minute CODE 3 roll. In my patrol area it takes 10 minutes to roll from from one side to the other while driving 30 mph OVER the limit. In my county we have stations where a 20 minute roll is common. Driving CODE 3 is very dangerous for the officers involved, and the public so I don’t believe they deserve this criticism. Kudos to momma for blasting that fool. Thanks...

I would hope it was a “code 3” considering what was happening. It wasn’t “criticism” but pointing out the reality. In many places the leaders and police do not want people armed and able to protect themselves, despite 20-30 minute response times.

Your post made me think that Justin Martin was the same person who raped, beat and then murdered Hope Melton, but he's not. Nickolas Jermaine Miller was the name of the person charged in that incident.

Stewart was the smart half of the duo. He not only waited to go in second, he was very considerate in calling for an amberlamps to help his buddy.

They love fat-faced guys with a goatee in McAlester. Reminds them of ... that which they will never see again.

I’d say.

FYI, FedEx will not pay to have a window pane replaced, even if the “brave” carrier was teasing your dog.

Thankfully, the dog was not cut by the smashed out glass.

I’ve known a couple of police officers who shared some of the expectations the public has but they have no understanding of the regulations etc. officers have to work under...let alone the overall type of citizen to contend with and what they’ll face even in what would seem a non-threatening situation.

Thank you for your service to those in your state Ariel..be safe.....

They “outlawed” high speed pursuits in WV after a cop plowed into a teenage girl and killed her whilst ripping after the perp.

That’s we should all be allowed to “conduct business” as we see fit until the cops arrive.

Safe cops.
Safe innocent bystanders.
Safe “victims”.
Dead perps.

Can’t see any downside.

That blog article was so over-the-top that it reads like a parody. Is it a parody? If not, it's funny how the blogger seems to see himself as so intelligent and other people as so uneducated. Yet, he doesn't think the whole story through. For example, he complains that she didn't wait for the police. She was on the phone with 911 for 21 minutes; the guy broke through the door. How much longer was she supposed to wait? He also says she could've fled "into the basement" or out another door. My 16yo son pointed out: She lives in a mobile home; does she even have a basement? I'd think that, if she'd opened another door, she would've given the perps a way in.

I just checked the blogger's About page. He describes himself as "an author who presently resides in upstate New York, after a long stint in the filth of southern New Jersey." Guess where I live. Good riddance, Mr. Crook! LOL.

The blog did read like a parody, didn’t it, but I think the author meant every word of it. What an elitist, insufferable snob he is!

You’re right...he didn’t think a thing of it through. Had she waited for the cops to arrive before shooting, she would’ve been the one probably raped and murdered. The perp was wielding a 12 inch knife when she saw him through the window (peephole)!!

That blog author is a total idiot. What a waste of brains!
