The idiots who run the judicial system decided that this convicted criminal didn't deserve to be in jail, so they let him out on probation. He then decided to break into someone's house, and was shot and killed by the homeowner.

I DO HOPE HE DID NOT MAKE TOO MUCH OF A MESS INSIDE THE HOUSE.

This guy probably wasn’t in prison long enough to convert to islam .....

The intruder acted stupidly.

The crime, don’t pull it if you can’t take the bullet.

At least the taxpayers wont be on the hook for this idiot this time

“The coroner listed the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the chest...”

or, could be written on his death certificate; ‘cause of death, heart stopped’.

[Mark17]

The article left out one key piece of information, so I am left to fill in the blank all by myself.

Congratulations to the homeowner for being such a fine shot. Great way to begin a new year. And a big thank you for ridding the planet of another worthless piece of garbage.

When I read a story like this where the intruder was “killed by the homeowner” I usually think that it was actually drugs that killed the intruder.

Anyway, props to the homeowner for protecting his home and family.

The article left out THE most important information:

The make/model/caliber of the handgun and which type of bullet was used.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say .45 ACP 230 JHP (single shot to the chest and all)

they had CONFUSED the poor fellow by naming the Pennsylvania Town California...

his heirs will likely sue....

...”let him out on probation. He then decided to break into someone’s house, and was shot and killed by the homeowner”...

Done deal.

He then decided to break into someone's house, and was shot and killed by the homeowner.

A surprising solution to an ever-increasing problem...

Suicide by cop, or by a citizen defending his home.

Works for me!

Ladson “began running toward the homeowner at which time the homeowner fired a single shot from a handgun, striking the victim in the chest,”

The coroner listed the cause of death as a gunshot wound suicide, charging a man pointing a handgun at him.

There, fixed it.

I really don’t know why any one would be upset? This is just another piece of garbage that no one would have to be bothered with.

If at first you fail...

[whodathunkit]

I do love a story that ends well. Thanks for posting.

[doorgunner69]

Ah yes, the “taxpayer relief shot”.

[Vendome]

Confusing....
