Term's secrets revealed!
Brewman:
I second that, Drewski. As tragic as this was my heart goes out to the homeowner- he was protecting his family.
Sad part is this all could have been prevented-
Don't wish to be hurt or killed, don't commit crimes.
How hard is that one to figure out?
Good thing for your friend he lives in a place where you're not automatically the bad guy for protecting what's yours.
Tatooed_Lady:
Hmmm....3 strangers in my livingroom in the middle of the night...I think one or all are armed, and I've got my firearm in hand, worrying about my safety and that of my family. That's a no brainer. The guy is freaked about it now, but he did what he felt he had to do. You just can't take chances and hope that the criminal (in this case 3 dumbass kids) will just walk or run away without trying to get rid of witnesses....
This is a good part of why I strongly disagree with the whole idea of not being able to discipline my child the way I was when growing up...or the way my father was when HE was growing up. It was never a beating, it was a lesson that got the point across.
Sorry if I come across as a hardass on this one, but I'm thinking that with crime shooting up exponentially every day, we need to get back to letting families protect their own, and be on level ground with the criminals, not being sitting ducks at home....
Brewman:
Hardass? Nope, not in my book.
I see way too many parents molly-coddle or try to be their children's buddies instead of their parents.
Today in the local news was a story on 3 children, between the ages of 6 and 8 who entered the backyard of someone who lived on their block, and the used a rock the size of a cantelope and a stick to beat a small puppy to the point it had to go on a ventilator- the owners chose to disconnect and the puppy died.
The easily found out who did this, and of the three kids, only one came back to admit what he did, and appolgize. That kids father offered to pay their share of the vet bills. The parents of the other two kids went on camera, faces obscured of course, and acted like this was boys will be boys, and denied any responsibility.
With parents like this all too common- it's no wonder some kids turn out like they do.
Hardass?? No way.
Drewski:
Like the boys say:
Well a man come on the 6 o'clock news
Said somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn't get too far yeah
They didn't get too far
Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
We'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses...
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
We've got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down
You can bet he'll set 'em down 'cause
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
We'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses...
