WASECA — A woman suspected of burglarizing a Waseca home is in jail after fleeing on foot from the shotgun-wielding homeowner, then being chased and caught by a police officer neighbor.
The male homeowner, who police did not identify, confronted Kotek with a 12-gauge shotgun. Kotek, armed with a knife found in the home, refused to be detained and tried to escape.
The homeowner struck her with the shotgun, knocking her to the floor. She got up and ran outside.

There are other ways of using a shotgun - options where the armed robber doesn't get up and run away. I hope this criminal thinks that through and considers what could have happen if the homeowner had chosen to solve the problem more permanently.
It is a sad state of affairs when you can’t defend your own home, because some idiot believes that criminal has a right to steal your stuff.
What the H has happened to this country?
“What the H has happened to this country?”
Liberals.
And their statements to excuse criminal behaviors before mind numbed and dumbed down juries.
“You have to understand, he does this nihilistic stuff against society because he didn’t get that puppy he wanted when he was five. So he strikes out against society and anyone who represents what he doesn’t have because of it!”
Or some variation of that drek.
Well your answer explains why I did not know. My mind does not work like that. I would like to believe that I use logic rather than emotion to form ideas.
Thanks!
You get to hear it alot in NY.
And other blue state bastions of liberal non-thought.
Criminals have successfully sued homeowners here for injuries they sustained while committing crimes.
Say, badguy gets hurt in your house, he then sues you for negligence.
Cash cow for lawyers and the state, so why would they bother fixing the issue?
Of course, I did like the guy who put razor ribbon on his gutters.
Some idiot badguy tried to climb up on the roof from his back porch, diced his hand up real good.
If a criminal loses his/her fingers, makes harder to steal later on.
That is a wonderful idea.
My wife’s family lives in Waseca and I know you don’t mess with folks there as they are likely armed.
If memory serves, he lost quite a bit of use from that hand.
Cops come out, find lots of blood on the gutter.
But nothing that would have cut him.
Nice touch by the homeowner, remove the razor ribbon but leave the blood.
Which would suggest the badguy cut himself elsewhere.
And that’s about the extent that I remember of the story.
That is excellent by the homeowner. Love it!
It is so hard to be a criminal these days after all, what with homeowners trying to hurt them and all.
You’d think they’d learn.
Her name is Kotek? Sheesh.
It was a long time ago, obviously, but all I know is that growing up in my hardscrabble little hometown, that girl would have been teased either into the nuthouse or the penitentiary before age 42.
“...because some idiot believes that criminal has a right to steal your stuff.”
Well, Muslims are taught by the Koran that they are entitled to seize the property of “infidels” since everything belongs to Allah. Check it out.
It was a long time ago, obviously

Ya must mean “X” marks the spot.
Or replaces it.
They wouldn't get up and run away any time soon....
mt... thx....
another good one
Don’t forget the disco ball rotating light effect as well.
ah...another Kotek moment....
HA! Perfect response!
Paging Lazamataz for opinion...
Looks like someone “hit that” with a “butt stroke”.
MY DREAM GIRL! I would hit that until her skin was bloody and mangled.
