Watch: Homeowner Pummels Masked Intrusion Suspect

Video released from an April 4, 2020, Arlington Heights, Illinois, home invasion shows two masked suspects walking up to the front door of house, one of whom gets pummeled by the homeowner.

The second suspect was shot dead by the homeowner minutes later. The Daily Mail reports the homeowner beat down the first suspect, then went back into the home to discover the second suspect was holding his wife and kids at gunpoint. The homeowner shot and killed the second suspect, 58-year-old Larry Brodacz.

WGN 9 reported the incident occurred in broad daylight, after Brodacz and 38-year-old Bradley Finnian allegedly rang the doorbell, then pulled a gun and forced their way inside once the homeowner answered the door. The homeowner responded by chasing Finnian out of the home while punching him repeatedly.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported police indicated the homeowner shot and killed the second suspect to protect his family. Police said, “Fearing for his life and the lives of his wife and children, the homeowner discharged a round from the family handgun, striking Mr. Brodacz in the abdomen.”

The NRA responded to the incident by noting, “The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

"Masked Intrusion Suspect". WTH? So B&E is now I&I? Intruding and irritating? Well, the good new is that one of the 'alleged' perps will 'allegedly' not be doing any more intruding and the other one will 'allegedly' do some time after he/she/them/they are 'court processed'. New speak is getting pretty stoopid.

It’s also rather interesting to see when the words Alleged and Supposedly are NOT used.

Those articles of course are where the media presumes the guilt of said Christians, Conservatives, or other enemies of the Deep State.

Why do people open their door to strangers?

He had been expecting landscapers, and confused the robvbers for them. Bad timing.

At least they were being responsible by wearing masks.

Great job homeowner. But, inquiring minds...

What is the robber inside doing? He does not defend his partner and he then allows the homeowner to come inside, open a safe, and then shoot a kill him while he is holding a gun and the family hostage.

Is the homeowner a real life action hero if so tell us more about him.
Or are the robbers the dumbest of all time.
Or, the homeowner claims self defense and shuts up and we will never know.

Out of all the homes in this area, why this one?
A friend of many years lives more to the center of town$$$.

I believe this location is back in a bit of a maze?

Odd.

Darwinism at work. That flag on the front of the house should have been a bright message to the bad guys: We have a gun and will use it. Oh well, clean up on aisle living room.

Too bad it's Illinois so the perp who just got a beating won't face the death penalty for felony murder for his accomplice getting killed during the crime.
