Two burglars dead after breaking into the home of two Marines.

Some stories just make you crack a smile......

You have to be real stupid to take up burglary in Jacksonville, NC, just about every house in town has a Marine in it.

Before I even read beyond the headline I say “Halluah” and I’m not the least religious.

Will check back to see if I should be contrite.

The two crooks are definitely candidates for the Darwin award!

I guess they decided to f**k with the wrong marines.

I concour.:)

I love a happy ending.

(sniff)

Shows what two motivated Marines and their rifles can do.

Way to defend home and hearth, Marines! Semper Fi!

“Before I even read beyond the headline I say “Halluah” and I’m not the least religious.”

I can tell :-)))

Not the two Marines.

Don’t they?

Dead punks

Maurice Skinner and Diego Everett

You should not be.

Did the article mention if either burglar was wearing a hoodie?

This is a month old.

No charges yet . . . but how long until Sharpton and Jackson get involved along with the lame-stream, state-run, media?

No uproar so I’m going to guess the marines have the same racial characteristics as the assailants.

I’d say they learned their lesson and won’t be breaking into any more houses.

I should have issued a caveat before giving you a pass on being contrite. I am one of those “heathen” Methodists you hear such dreadful things about. You still have a pass though.

Look for some egg sucking lib-turd lawyer-activist to try and make this into another Trevor Martin civil rights anti-military case..

I think that's what could be called a "bad choice".

A fitting end to two career dirtbags.

If the Marines where confirmed White to the umphteen grand parents!

they;re not amish, either.

Can only think of one response....

What a Tragedy! And just when Skinner and Everette were about to get their lives turned around too.

Not the two Marines.

SOB's!

Not the two Marines.

Nope.

LOL!!!!

Another One Bites The Dust.

Whoops!

Sounded so nice I said it twice!

This is a month old.

Not for some of us. First I’d heard of this story with a happy ending.

This is a month old.

Guess that just ‘solidifies’ the true assumption that the ‘good news’ stays buried and the ‘gotcha’ stuff makes headlines.

Marines take care of their own (and the neighbors).
I was stationed at Lejeune in '69, but lived with my wife in a small trailer court in the town of Hubert.
While I was off on a Carib cruise, she had an auto accident. When the claims adjuster came over, he tried some "funny stuff" so my wife called a neighbor,
Within two minutes, five other Marines were at the door and "escorted" him back to his car. He never came back.

No charges Will Be Filed Against Shooters in Jacksonville Attempted Burglary

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. - After nearly two weeks of investigation by the Jacksonville Police Department into an attempted burglary that left two men dead, Onslow County District Attorney Ernie Lee announced this morning that charges will not be filed against the shooters.
Until Friday, the circumstances surrounding the shooting that killed Diego Everette and Maurice Skinner during a burglary attempt at 107 Country Club Drive were cloudy at best.
Now, with the investigation complete, Onlsow County District Attorney, Ernie Lee detailed the events.
The two men were shot during an attempted burglary of the house, after being surprised by the residents, as they returned home. The burglars held them at gun point and threatened to kill them.
According to Lee, the Marine grabbed for the gun when Skinner looked away and a struggle for the weapon followed.
"The Marine resident was able to kick Skinner and free the shotgun from Skinner's grip. Skinner came at the Marine resident who was on the floor and the Marine resident two times.
The Marine resident then found Everette struggling with another Marine who was a guest in the home and shot Everette once in the rear end.
The whole altercation happened within 15 minutes, Jacksonville Police arrived on the scene at 1:55 am to find Skinner and Everette dead in the home.
Lee says the shooting of Everette and Skinner falls under North Carolina statute 14-51.2, commonly referred to as the castle doctrine.
"Based upon my review of the facts of this case, the occupants of the residence were justified in using deadly force against both everette and skinner because the actions of everette and skinner caused the occupants to reasonably believe it necessary to use deadly force to protect their lives."
The two Camp Lejeune Marines and one civilian of 107 sustained substantial injuries during the attack. lee says they were lucky to survive.
"The three occupants are fortunate that they did not suffer even greater serious injury or death. The actions of these three individuals in defending themselves may very well have saved their lives."

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. - After nearly two weeks of investigation by the Jacksonville Police Department into an attempted burglary that left two men dead, Onslow County District Attorney Ernie Lee announced this morning that charges will not be filed against the shooters.
Lee says back on April 15th, 33 year olds Diego Everette and Maurice Skinner attempted to rob the house at 107 Country Club Drive in Jacksonville.
The three men living there returned home during the robbery and struggled with Everette and Skinner over a shotgun that the two "would be burglars" found in the house.
During the struggle one of the residents who is a marine stationed at Camp Lejeune recovered the shotgun and shot both men.
Lee says the shooting was justified, “Based upon my review of the facts of this case, the occupants of the residence were justified in using deadly force against both Everette and Skinner because the actions of Everette and Skinner caused the occupants to reasonably believe it necessary to use deadly force to protect their lives."
Lee says he will not release the names of the Marine and civilian residents of the house or the marine guest who was with them during the incident.
A JPD investigation of the shooting also revealed that Everette and Skinner were responsible for two car break-ins on Country Club Drive right before that attempted burglary.

I guess they decided to f**k with the wrong marines.

Generally speaking, it's not wise to f**k with ANY Marine.

Dag—they could be Øbama’s sons.

If you f**k with the bull, you get the horn!

When I read the title, I thought “I love stories with happy endings”.

What good is it going to do to increase police presence in the area now.

The Marines have landed. Its safer there now.

You local yokels can just GTFO.

Go grab a donut of something.

I’m guessing if berry had a son, they would look like this?

Retrospectively, it's probably a good thing the bad guys were armed.

Otherwise, the Marines would have had to kill them with their bare hands and that would've been much more painful.

It’s still good news.

A dog just spoke to me in Dog-ese, and wants to know if we can replace the police with Marines.

I tried to tell him no, but he growled and told me to ask anyway.

;^)

Nah, you’re good.
