Hmmm... Democrat, now does he support gun rights, and will he after this?

Probably some drug deal gone bad.

Great incurious reporting: Did someone catch the perp? Who was he? Why didn't the grandson just shoot him?

Boswell is 77, and a helicopter pilot who served in Vietnam. He heard the noise and came out and tried to disarm the intruder.
Kind of scary stuff; will probably hear more details today about what happened.

Interesting that in the first four paragraphs of the story, there's no mention of his Party affiliation.
I'm gathering from the other posts that he's a RAT.
I guess we wouldn't want the idea to get out that it's perfectly acceptable for RATS to defend their domiciles with firearms. Some might cry hypocrisy.

Strange how one person can demand money from another against his will and be labelled an intruder when another man can demand money from another against his will and be labelled a President.
Ah, well. Semantics. Whatta ya gonna do.

The grandson did great up to the time he find pull the trigger.

The article mentions an armed burgler, apparently still on the loose.
Luckily nobody got hurt or worse. Curious though, did the article mention a description of the perp? I mean, he’s armed and dangerous - that might
be of some help to the public.
