WAY TO GO HOMEOWNER. POP A CAP IN THEIR @#$ AND THESE GUYS WILL STOP TRYING TO ROB PEOPLE.
Right on. Give him the keys to the city.
nothing thwarts a robbery like a dose of hot lead!
Heck yeah!
This is very humorous until the victim ends up in court for some bogus charge/lawsuit. I will admit it is a bit satisfying to see a story in the news about a shooting that has taken place within chattanooga that 1. no one died because of and 2. apparently the victim defended themselves and protected their property. Unfortunately this is only the beginning. As the government squabbles over who's lobbyist gets the hook up in washington we will continue to see more of this type of occurence. I hope they all end up as this one did but, i doubt that will be the case. When the people with nothing to lose have had enough then the people who have will be the targets. Welcome to America 2012.
HOPE THE HOMEOWNER DOESN'T GO TO JAIL. THESE DAYS THEY USUALLY DO.
to bad you missed one of them
Good job! Very brave as opposed to the cowards that tried to rob him.
The thing that kills me is the way that the author portrays the headline as man "shoots up" Let's try Man defends himself and his belongings. The title makes this man sound like one of the worthless thugs that tried to rob him.
