Home Invasion Defense

I'm gonna drop some vids here concerning home defense. Among them will include home-clearing, i.e. getting the bad guys out'a your house or neutralizing them as threats.

The last video I include in this post is the video which you should actually watch first. It's title is "Why room clearing is a bad idea."

Don't. Don't do room clearing. Most all folk should leave room-clearing to professionals.

Below, I will repeat the above.

I want to say prior to presenting these videos that one's first action should be to gather family to a designated safe room. Practice this procedure with entire family drills. Don't risk you life over a dog. Let the dog go bite the intruder(s), poop the floor, whatever. It's a dog.

When inside the safe room, "hit the deck." Everyone should be on the floor. A chest-of-drawers / dresser full of clothing might provide cover, but don't count on it. Tipping over furniture may help, yet hey, "Hit the deck," after locking the door. A designated adult, or both husband and wife, should grab the weapon(s), and stay low while calling the police. Always notify the police that your home has been invaded by an unknown person or persons. Say on the telephone with authorities that you are in fear of your life and the lives of your family. First, that's a true statement. Second, you have an official recording of the danger in which you find yourself currently. The latter statement is important should you find yourself in court. Leave your phone on; the emergency services recording will gather evidence. Watch what you now say -- you're being recorded.

Also, tell the emergency services that you are armed. Tell them what you are wearing and what you look like, "I'm the old bald-headed guy in my pajamas." Tell them your location in/on the property.

Think about this: When the police arrive, they don't know who you are.

For all they know, you are the perpetrator. They're not psychic nor have any sort of ESP. Due to a potential armed conflict, the adrenaline levels of these police officers are mighty elevated. They are only humans. They only have what training their department could afford. In sum, don't give the cops any reason to shoot you. Don't be armed when they arrive. Drop your weapon. Get on the ground and show them your empty hands.

If your safe room is on the second story or above, then have a rope ladder should you be forced to escape. Example, the attackers may set your house on fire to destroy any evidence. They couldn't care less if your wife and children burn to death. Your family could have witnessed the invaders -- witnesses who need to be silenced ... permanently. Most invaders will wear masks. The videos of home invasions that I've watched show the invaders wearing masks.

If the intruders attempt to kick the door of, gain access to, your safe room, shoot through the door to end that aggression. Know that room walls provide no barrier to handgun nor rifle fire -- even a shotgun firing only birdshot will blow a hole right through an interior wall. Shoot through the walls to neutralize the enemy only if you have to. Note: THEY CAN DO THE SAME TO YOU!!!!!! Thus, the mandate to stay as low as you can and if possible, place robust furniture or heavy/thick objects between you and any lines of gunfire. Just count on the intruders shooting through the walls of your "safe room" to neutralize you. Likely, they will not ... likely ... don't gamble.

Under what circumstances should you leave your safe room and clear your home (or place of business) of intruders? That is YOUR call. I will not even begin to address that issue. I am one human. That's it. Such circumstances can happen, I'm sure. Know that such behavior is a LAST RESORT.

As of this time of posting, we are not in a SHTF world. When that time comes, then one's behavior-set will get turned upside down. Trustworthy people will go untrustworthy, even nuts. Mean people when in a world of their being no police will go full animal-behavior-central -- think wolf-packs.

Dealing with hostage situations I know nothing about. That's not covered in that which I'm posting right now.

Here's some videos concerning the clearing of a house. Not my expertise at all. I simply found these to be interesting videos -- that's it. See if there's any info in these that may be of use to you. It's your call.

There is very foul language (F-bombs galore) in these vids. Military guys are making the videos, so go figure. Should some evil people attack you, you will surprise yourself with what you say.







At the beginning of the next video below, the room clearer swaps his weapon between right and left handed holds. He does so to better cover differing angles. You have to understand this and practice with your "weak" hand/side. If you don't swap hands, oftentimes you will present your entire body so as to be able to use your strong-hand weapon hold. Guess what, that will get you shot. Swap the weapon to your "weak" hand!!! Only present as LITTLE of your body as is absolutely necessary. When watching action movies or especially TV series, I'm perpetually yelling at the idiot actor, "Great buddy, always lead with your face!" Use only one eye or use a small mirror to see around corners. What you see in the movies will get you killed. If you simply fire around corners without looking as terrorists are want to do, you can kill innocents. Terrorists don't care. I think you should -- especially considering that they could be your family members.

I'm NOT recommending the following, but you can throw flashlights (British "torch") into rooms or down hallways. In this category, small is good along with a non-directional beam. This is only doable if the enemy already knows where you are located. Backlight the enemy. Never give away your position. If you are backlit, then you stand to get shot.

Looking around corners & speaking of small mirrors: I right now have a 2.25 inch by 3 inch mirror in my top left hand desk drawer as I write this (instantly accessible). Prison inmates get really good with these small mirrors, because that's how they view each other and guards (the "bulls") from their cells looking down prison corridors. Learn from the enemy.

Why room-clearing is bad idea:

 

LoneWolf: "... the idea is to stop them before they get into the house. ..."

Yes. In a post SHTF era, don't let them break in! Sure will be my policy -- got zero choice in the matter. I'm old. I can't fight youthful strong people any more. "Shoot first and ask questions later." I am however not about: "Kill'em all and let God sort them out." That's just not me ... but if I see trouble coming, I'm not gonna wait to get shot-at first.

Pre-SHTF, even in America, if you shoot a precious felon outside of your home, then you are in deep, deep sh##. In liberal urban areas such as New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles, the laws are strict for honest citizens -- to include gun laws. Some cities ban handguns and VERY rarely issue carry permits (say you are a security guard for an armored-care company). Assault rifles are banned, for sure. However, the police are afraid to have programs of gang disarmament. The police avoid going into gang-infested neighborhoods in the first place. When warrants must be issued, then multiple patrol cars are required.

Yet another reason to TOTALLY avoid living in urban areas. When will the poop hit the fan? Who knows???!!!! A year from now? Next Monday? Just get out of there NOW. Actually the suburbs surrounding dangerous areas are getting to be dangerous. Gangs are fanning out. Theft in the suburbs is more lucrative / easy to fence / more high-dollar items such as stereos and large screen TVs.

Used to, when stop-and-frisk procedures were allowed, tens of thousands of firearms were taken out of the hands of felons. That is now banned -- to do so is "racist".

In the article below, note that up North, the liberals blame the South for not banning firearms. The Leftist dogma goes like this: Ban or severely restrict honest citizens' Constitutional right to own firearms. If handguns and assault rifles are banned -- as a starting point (the Left wants all firearms banned) -- then it will be more difficult for the out-of-control felons to steal these guns and do harm with them. Me, I have gun safes and encourage others to buy them. Safe sales are good. The annual sales have now reached 800 million dollars per year ($800,000,000).

Here's an article from a decade ago, 2013.

"NYPD announces 250 illegal firearms seized, 19 arrested in gun ring that stretched into South"

"NYPD announces 250 illegal firearms seized, 19 arrested in gun ring that stretched into South"

https://www.nydailynews.com/new-yor...guns-announced-article-1.1430629?comment=true

" 'Thank God these guns are off the streets,' Mayor Bloomberg said at Police Headquarters, surrounded by law enforcement officials and standing before two tables filled with dozens of firearms, including military-grade automatic weapons.

" 'There is no doubt that the seizure of these guns has saved lives.'

" 'More than 200 guns is an astonishing number to recover by one undercover,' Kelly said.

"Both Bloomberg and Kelly seized upon a comment from suspect Earl Campbell of Rock Hill, S.C., who was caught on wiretap saying he didn't want to bring guns to Brooklyn for fear they would be discovered if he were stopped and frisked."

Old Gzr: In the above gun-running sting operation, firearms WERE being moved out of the Southern United States (not internationally; the international smuggling is usually out of Central America). In this operation, two smugglers were apprehended. Me, I totally support shutting-down gun-runners. Who doesn't?! Drug runners and gun runners get people killed. These two gun-runners knew perfectly well who was buying them -- NY drug gangs. If only gang-bangers got killed, it wouldn't matter; however, many innocents end up in Emergency Wards ... even graveyards.

-----------------

Recently, the police have begun stopping more potential felons to get guns off the street. In so doing, they have invoked the wrath of the Left. The ACLU sure is going after cops for fighting crime. Fighting crime is racist according to the Left. I wish the Left would send their psychologists out into the ghettos and chat with the gangs, "Tell me about your feelings."

We would see how many got out of there alive!

"NYPD Tactics Raise Concern of Return to ‘Stop and Frisk’ "

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-14/nypd-stop-and-frisk-tactics-raise-concerns

"New York City police officers made more than 673,000 traffic stops last year, the majority involving Black and Latino motorists. Only 2% of those stops led to arrests, raising the specter of the stop-and-frisk tactics that were ruled unconstitutional a decade ago, civil liberties advocates say."

"Murder charge dropped for Milton man accused of killing home invader"

https://tnc.news/2023/07/31/charges-dropped-home-invader1/

"A Milton man who was charged with second-degree murder for killing an armed home invader had a murder charge dropped on Monday.

"According to Global News, the Crown withdrew the charge, citing that there was no reasonable prospect of a conviction against the defendant, Ali Mian.

"Mian was charged with murder earlier this year after several armed intruders allegedly entered his home around 5 a.m. on Feb. 19. Halton Regional Police believe the intruder’s intent was to commit robbery.

“ 'I thank the crown for using their reasonable discretion and agreeing to withdraw the charges today,” said Mian’s lawyer Jag Virk. 'My client is very happy and thankful.'

“ 'He’s been under tremendous stress since being charged knowing that if he was found guilty he’d been spending considerable time in jail and he was only trying to protect himself and his mother.'

"Virk argued that Mian used his gun legally against Amoroso-Leacock as he was armed and posing a threat to him and his mother. Virk claimed that Mian should never have had the charge laid against him in the first place, as this was a case of self-defense.

"Released on $130,000 bail, Mian was given a number of conditions such as surrendering his passport and firearm license. He was also to live with his grandmother and not possess any weapons."

"EIGHT BLOOD-SOAKED YEARS"

by: Ralph Maraj
5th, August, 2023

https://trinidadexpress.com/opinion...cle_c31b49e2-3403-11ee-a142-4344e57b47f5.html

"In Trinidad and Tobago today, anyone can be murdered anywhere, anytime. Over 4,000 citizens have been slaughtered in eight years. Murderous home invasions have escalated. For example, in 2018, the throats of a husband and wife were slit in their home; and after a horrendous experience with intruders last year, Simone de la Bastide, wife of the former chief justice, said, 'Everyone is now a target.'

"This is our condition, folks, after almost $60 billion has been spent on national security in eight blood-soaked years, leaving everybody insecure. The Government has done virtually nothing! 'The country is begging for leadership on crime,' said an Express editorial earlier this year.

"A prime minister abdicating. That very year, he pointed fingers at the Police Service for the horrifying murder rate, saying it is their responsibility, implying his Government has little to do with it. Today, seven years later, Gary Griffith, leading his party in the local government election, is moved to stop by the Moka golf course and tell Rowley he is a 'failure', golfing four times a week when the country is in distress.

"Griffith told the Express 'the country is virtually lawless, people are being killed three and four a day, we are at the threshold of anarchy where people feel the criminals have taken over' and instead of the Prime Minister 'putting in all his time and effort, you on a golf course four times a week. It shows he does not care'.

"In December that year, headlines screamed “RAMPAGE, 16 people killed in 96 hours, 25 double murders”, one thousand and fifty-one persons murdered in two years under this administration!

"Unrelenting siege! And still nothing done."
==========================================

The following incident deserves a full read, not just what I've quoted. Prior to the home invasion, the suspects had been reported by neighbors. Of course, the police can't get there on time. This occurred in Chattanooga where nighttime crime is perpetual. Another take-away from this story is that the invaders yelled-out that they were the police. Invaders OFTEN pretend to be police officers or security. Some robbers even wear clothing similar to officers, have fake badges, ...

"Local Man Arrested In Home Invasion In Which He Was Shot"

https://www.chattanoogan.com/2023/8/4/472820/Local-Man-Arrested-In-Home-Invasion.aspx

"A Chattanooga teen is facing charges in a home invasion in which he was shot.

"Devichec Dequan Smith, 19, of 234 Tunnel Blvd., was charged with especially aggravated robbery and especially aggravated burglary.

"In the incident last Saturday, police investigated the incident on Cherryton Dr. A couple said they were asleep in bed when they heard a loud banging on the front door and people shouting, 'Chattanooga Police'.

"The couple said three intruders got in by breaking out a window and held guns on them as they went up the stairs toward the second floor. The male resident began struggling with one of the intruders and the male resident was shot in the groin.

"The female resident got her gun and began firing, apparently hitting the intruder who had shot the male resident in the groin. The three men, who were wearing hoodies and ski masks, then fled.

"The male resident was transported to Erlanger Hospital, and about the same time a gold/tan minivan dropped off Devichec Smith at Parkridge Hospital. Smith, who was shot in the chest, was later transported to Erlanger."

"Burglaries in the city are up 41 percent 'and robberies by more than 20 percent.'

"On Sunday, July 30, 2023, a 75-year-old Oakland woman was home alone and armed with more than an airhorn when two alleged armed intruders entered her home.

"Arizona woman shoots, kills registered sex offender attempting to break into her home"

"Police say the woman fired off a warning shot before shooting the suspect."

https://www.foxnews.com/us/arizona-woman-shoots-kills-registered-sex-offender-attempting-break-home

"A Tucson, Arizona, woman took matters into her own hands by shooting and killing a registered sex offender who attempted to break into her home, according to reports.

"The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said a 54-year-old woman was home alone, when 42-year-old Jayson Magrum allegedly tried to break into her home.

"The woman saw what was happening and started yelling for Magrum to leave, but he reportedly continued to gain access to the home.

" 'The female armed herself with a handgun and fired a shot out of a window to attempt to scare the male away,' investigators said.

"Magrum then allegedly reached into the home and toward the woman to take the gun away, the station reported. She then opened fire on Magrum, ultimately striking him.

"The sheriff’s office said he then moved toward the driveway, where he collapsed and died.

"The woman was not hurt during the altercation.

"According to the sheriff’s department’s website, Magrum is a registered sex offender in Utah.

"The department has not arrested anyone in the shooting, though the investigation is ongoing."



===================================

OK, so I guess there is some circumstance wherein a warning shot is warranted. I told a drunk puke trying to get into my home one night what the consequences of his action would be and he decided to leave (I had a pump w/6 loads of buckshot waiting for him).

Most times, warning shots are dangerous for you. Note that warning shots in the above instance gave the felon time to reach in through a window and try to nab the lady's firearm. Had she not nailed him, he would have succeeded.

The above puke isn't gonna be raping anyone else. Just a passing observation.

"75-year-old woman shoots at home intruders in Oakland"

https://www.ktvu.com/news/75-year-old-woman-shoots-at-home-intruders-in-oakland

"OAKLAND, Calif. - A 75-year-old woman opened fire on two intruders who broke into her Oakland home and came under fire herself, authorities said.

"The home invasion robbery happened around 2 a.m. on July 26 at a residence near the Oakland Zoo in the hills on Ettrick Street in the Chabot Park neighborhood, according to the Oakland Police Department.

"Fearing for her safety, the 75-year-old woman pulled out her .357 Magnum and fired one round toward the suspects, police said. The suspects returned fire at the woman and fled the scene.

"Fortunately, the woman was not injured during the shooting, and there were no reports of physical injuries, according to the police"

Old Gzr: This woman needed a scatter-gun, i.e. shotgun, not a stupid .357 handgun. I'm good with a .357 handgun, but then I'm used to the recoil -- hundreds upon hundreds of rounds fired through the revolvers I've owned.

Hearing the intrusion, she should have retreated to her safe room shut/locked the door and brought a shotgun to bear. If the invaders had begun kicking her door, then she should have blown a big hole through it ... at groin level (femoral arteries and veins = bleeding like a stuck hog, fire-hose bleeding, screaming/disabled with pain). In the safe room, she could have gotten behind furniture to soak any rounds coming from intruders. Never go out to shoot invaders = could get YOU shot! Seek safe room with heavy furniture behind which you can achieve some cover & call cops. This is also your best shooting position. Exposing your body to gunfire is, by definition, dangerous beyond measure! Lone heroes get body bags.

-----------------------------------------

Some shotgun basics:



In the video below we have a comparison between a smooth-bore shotgun barrel vs. a rifled shotgun barrel (rifled barrels are for firing sabot-type rifle slugs; i.e. NOT shot, buckshot nor birdshot). If you need a VERY wide doughnut-shaped (toroid) pattern, then fire buckshot out of a rifled shotgun barrel at very close distance. Birdshot out of a rifled barrel is utterly useless for home defense ... period, end of discussion. It's pretty much useless for hunting, also.

Shotguns must be aimed! Everything in movies and TV is pure B.S.. I've fired a lot of buckshot loads for patterning at various distances = these videos are very accurate in their content.



=======================================

The next video is basic basics. This is beginner-level information concerning shotguns. The video is mainly about buckshot usage for deer hunting. Info in this does provide home defense information in that you can see buck-shot pattern sizes fired at different ranges.



================================================

Note: The fellow in the last video, Paul Harrell, has been diagnosed with a terribly bad form of cancer (don't ask; he doesn't want personal stuff published, OK). Don't send any messages his way -- he doesn't want to hear it / read it. Don't comment on his web page anything concerning his health. He REALLY doesn't want that!!! What we can send his way are prayers. Paul is one of the genuine good guys. I pray that he be cured and if not, his departure from this life into the next life be very merciful, very smooth. Again, Paul is good guy. He's done his best to help a lot of people.

"Texas man fires at suspects posing as maintenance workers through front door"

https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-man-fires-suspects-posing-maintenance-workers-through-front-door

"A man has been arrested in connection with the attempted break-in into a Dallas apartment unit where a man inside shot at two suspects through his front door, police said.

"Ethan Rodriguez was in his apartment unit bathroom around 6 p.m. Saturday, when someone he didn't recognize knocked on his door claiming to be a maintenance worker.

"Rodriguez, who answered his digital doorbell and home security camera on his phone, said the suspect, identified as Aaron Contreras, 30, claimed to be a maintenance worker who was there to check the filter to the air conditioner, an affidavit obtained by FOX Dallas states.

"Rodriguez is heard on the video telling Contreras he wasn't home. Contreras, who was armed with a handgun, came back a few minutes later with a masked man, police said. Video footage taken from the doorbell camera shows both men taking turns trying to kick in the door.

"At some point, Rodriguez grabbed his handgun and fired several shots through his front door. Contreras fired two rounds in response and fled with the other suspect.

"Dallas police officers responded to the scene and found 13 bullet casings — 13 bullet holes exiting the front door and two more entering through the door."



=============================================

I guess most home invaders imagine that their victims are weaklings. What they should think about is how many million Americans have zero qualms about taking "human" life when that life is acting like an animal. Millions of Americans, myself included, have killed stacks of animals. Human or non-human, something attacking me will result in an instantaneous hard-wired program in my brain to shoot to kill. I'll evaluate the situation later. Family first. Bad guys lives are meaningless. Surgeons and Oncologists kill cancers by any means necessary. This is a lesson for us all.

The following is only a side note -- some info about medical treatments in the U.S. . Only if people are interested in such is why I put this in. I'm a big fan of highly-trained paraprofessionals (Masters Degree usually required, but not always).

Danger! The following could be massively boring!

I've now had 4 skin cancers cut out. This is due to me working outside, enjoying hunting and hiking. Too much sun ... we all know what happens. I go get lesions cut-out & biopsied. My last biopsy -- hole in skin still healing -- was NOT a cancer (yet). Hurrah!! There will be more cutting and burning.

Here in the states, if you have a suspicious lesion of any sort external internal (found by visual exam, CAT scan or PET scan), you are immediately scheduled for surgery. I went to dermatologist's physician assistant and he just cut this out and froze another lesion -- Doctors have nurse practitioners and physician assistants perform routine procedures. Routine medical procedures are are, let me think, routine. In med schools coupled with nursing and phys. assistant programs, everyone is trained side by side. Me, I am SUPER biased in favor of nurse practitioners and phys assistants, being from a rural area, we need them! Here, paramedics who usually work via ambulances and helos, are also hired by hospital emergency wards -- why not! Advanced procedures are taught to student physicians and residents. We also have certified midwives. You can't make sick people wait! Certainly can't make a pregnant lady whose water has broken wait.

Not getting sick folk immediate attention is very close to committing murder. Life is sacred.

-------------------

 

Not only have most people not worked with severely ill mental patients, they've never seen mentally ill people fully deranged and going violent. Many psychotic people appear normal most of the time -- especially when their taking of prescription medications are monitored.

I don't mean the following to be in any way insulting, but most folk haven't a clue about how dangerous some people suffering from psychoses can become. I'm glad that most folk, especially children, haven't had to see this.

But this stuff happens. Sometimes these people go violent.

Such individuals require permanent hospitalization. Me, I've worked with those who suffer from psychosis in medical settings. Really not a place to work for the squeamish.

When these individuals go into a violent mania, they can't be brought down by only one or two people. My maternal grandfather worked a psych ward for decades. He shared several stories. He'd speak of some patients requiring five or six strong men to get them on the floor or onto a bed where they could be put into restraints. They will break their bones in a fight and go on as if nothing had happened. Pain means nothing to them when in these states.

Police know that they will take several handgun rounds and keep on attacking. It is unbelievable, but unfortunately very true. Keep this in mind when preparing to purchase and potentially have to use a firearm. I know at least one case where a felon took two loads of buckshot to the torso and a handgun round to the pelvis and then ran past the police to try to get away. Another buckshot load finally brought him down. Still, he could speak. Died on the way to the hospital. These situations can be beyond what one sees in horror movies.

When watching a movie, you don't smell what is occurring. In the real world there's the smell of saliva, the incredible stench of body odor, blood, and feces. It really cuts into your brain.



"Sheriff: Armed homeowner shoots, kills burglar during attempted break in"

https://www.walb.com/2023/06/09/sheriff-armed-homeowner-shoots-kills-burglar-during-attempted-break/

Begin quote

ASCENSION PARISH, La. (WAFB/Gray News) – A homeowner in Louisiana shot and killed a man who was trying to break in, officials said.

Deputies responded to an attempted home break-in around 6 a.m. and found 20-year-old Kameron Serigny dead at the scene.

The homeowner told deputies he fired several shots at Serigny, who was trying to break in.

Investigators said the suspect first tried to break into a car in the driveway, setting off the car alarm and alerting the homeowners.

The home is equipped with several security cameras, which showed the suspect eating grass and beating on his chest, investigators said.

Video shows the suspect then punching a hole in the glass of the home’s door. Investigators said at that point, the homeowner fired one shot, and the suspect fell to the ground. Serigny then reportedly got up again and punched another hole in the glass.

The homeowner then shot him again, sending Serigny back to the ground. The suspect then got up and slammed himself into the door, breaking it open, the video shows. At that point, the homeowner fired three to four additional shots, killing Serigny, investigators said.

Detectives said the home security footage corroborated the homeowner’s statements.

The homeowner has not been charged, officials said.

"AR-15 Used in Oklahoma Home Defense; Same Rifle 4th Circuit Court Says Americans Should Not Have"

https://www.nssf.org/articles/ar-15...circuit-court-says-americans-should-not-have/

"An Oklahoma man last week defended himself from home invaders with the same type of rifle that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit recently ruled Maryland citizens did not have the right to own.

"The 23-year-old, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, man was jarred awake by the sound of what turned out to be three masked men breaking through a glass door of the home owned by his father. The man armed himself with an AR-15. He confronted a criminal trio dressed in black, wearing masks and gloves. He fired in self-defense.

"All three were killed. A knife and brass knuckles were recovered by police. The 21-year-old would-be getaway driver turned herself in. Since a person committing a felony in Oklahoma can be charged with felony murder when a death occurs during that crime, she now faces first-degree murder charges.

"The incident, as regrettable and unfortunate as it is, shows the wisdom of the 2008 Heller decision in affirming the individual right to keep and bear arms that are in common use. The case provides a real-world counterargument to the faulty logic of the Fourth Circuit’s Kolbe v. Hogan decision."

=======================

During the past 10 years, there's been a growing trend of home invasions being carried-out by teams of 3 to 4 felons. The door is crashed then multiple assailants rush in.

"Four suspects are wanted in Philadelphia after tying up a family inside their home during a terrifying armed robbery caught on video last week, authorities said.

"The victim, who told police that he runs a business out of his home, was standing outside with an employee just after 10 a.m. on Nov. 6 when four masked suspects jumped out of a black Acura, Philadelphia police said.

"The four males, described as Hispanic, held the pair at gunpoint and forced them back inside the house in the 6600 block of 7th Street in the city's East Oak Lane neighborhood.

"Inside the home, police said the suspects tied up and assaulted the family and employee."

---------------------------------

If one lives in or near Philly -- or any other urban cesspit -- then they should have a gun on them even when at home. I've a gun in my pocket as I write this and I live in a very safe area. I'm not anticipating trouble, but one should form habits for when it hits the fan. In urban areas, it already has hit the fan violence-wise. There already are roaming gangs. There have been black and Hispanic gang shootouts on the streets of white neighborhoods in the middle of "squeaky-clean suburbia". Drug turf isn't limited to the inner city. There are shootouts downtown ... anywhere.

In the county where we live, post SHTF, the people herein will have to form a deadly perimeter. This will be difficult due to the enormous size of this county -- over 2,500 sq. kilometers. The borders are mountain forests on one side and pasture land on the other sides. Shame that a major interstate cuts through. The military will attempt to keep that open.

 

Here's some arrogant goober using what is called a "selfie-stick".



Why am I showing this?

That selfie stick, or a cheaper one, or one you've made yourself can be used to hold a small mirror.

So?

When clearing a building or dwelling, you need to look around corners. Using your own eyes/face can get your head blown off. Generally speaking, this isn't a good thing.

My wife is probably sick of hearing me do this, but when watching a cop show these actors clearing a building will always lead with their face, to which I will say, "Hey buddy, why don't you lead with your face!"

I watch movies and somebody gets a knock at the door. What do they do. Yep, they look out the door's peephole to see who is there. Rarely do they get killed doing this. In the real world, an invader is watching on the other side of that door and when the peephole goes dark, they shoot through the door. If you wish to use the peephole, first squat low on one side of the door and use something like a broom to cover the peephole. If it is an invader, the broom gets cut in half.

This is also true of windows. Somebody is at the door, I look out the window ... but not before pushing the curtains back with a long stick or whatever. Right beside me now in my desk's upper left drawer is a little 2" x 3" mirror. Note; a regular cosmetic hand-held mirror is too large. They will instantly be seen by any potential intruder, plus I think they are silly-looking.

This is also true of outdoors. Concealment is good. Cover (a berm or large diameter tree will stop a bullet) is much better. Presenting your face, we've discussed. Military units have used "bunny ears" for centuries to keep soldiers from getting decapitated by enemy fire ... especially when this comes from sniper fire. Pop up your head -- you get dead.

Small mirrors can be replaced. Not so much your head.

Shoot, you can buy a periscope if you want a tiny version of bunny ears. A couple of years ago, I saw some bunny ears in a pawn shop. The guy wanted like $800+ for them. Ouch!




I'm old. I ramble. Sorry. But hey, here's a darkly amusing story I read a few years back. Mr. Felon is running from police. Active pursuit, multiple cops. Felon (I don't like the word "suspect" especially if he's shooting at you, that's beyond suspicious) was shooting at them. Down an alleyway, between two buildings, he goes; then, he hides behind a big steel dumpster. Next, he makes a terminal mistake. He pops his head up and shoots. Problem for him was that the cop to whom he's just presented his head was the firearms instructor / range-master of the police shooting range. You know what happened next.

Again, what we Americans have to put up with. Don't let this happen in your nation! Block immigrant invasion!

In America, slavers brought in Africans as slaves = against The Creator's Will = became a plague upon our nation. Slavery was a deep, deep sin. We should have fought slavery long before our first civil war.

Another example = violating rain forests = invoking primate killer viruses = new plagues. Some forests can easily be re-grown, but NOT RAIN FORESTS. That environment is waaaayyy too fragile. The soil there doesn't rejuvenate. Under same heading = Stop letting Japan buy our old-growth forests in Washington state and Oregon. They raped their own forests. Don't let them have our old growth forest regions.

Never allow the Natural Order be violated. Things are as Willed by a Higher Intellect. Never imagine yourself to be smarter nor more powerful, else you will suffer. We can never imagine The Will that brought us into reality. All religions are insufficient to the task. Seek humility.

"Seattle homeowner fires back at would-be burglars amid string of neighborhood robberies"

https://www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-...uld-be-burglars-string-neighborhood-robberies

"Police are investigating a string of home robberies in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle last week, including one in which the homeowner exchanged gunfire with the would-be home invaders.

"The first incident took place on Dec. 18 near the intersection of Beacon Avenue and South Graham Street. A man told police he was walking home from a casino and was approached by several men brandishing firearms.

"The suspects forced the man to open the door to his home and ransacked the place, before fleeing the scene with cash.

"Two days later, South Precinct officers responded to an attempted home invasion near the intersection of Beacon Avenue South and South Ferdinand Street around 5:30 a.m. The homeowner told police that three men tried to break down his door but were unsuccessful and left.

"Early the next morning, four male suspects returned to the same address and tried to break down the front door with a sledgehammer. The victim, awakened by the noise, grabbed a rifle and shot at the would-be home invaders. The suspects fired back at the homeowner as they retreated into vehicles and fled the scene.

"Seattle police said the robberies share a similar set of circumstances to a series of robberies that happened earlier this year, in which all of the victims were of Asian descent and the suspects were all Black males.

"Though the suspects in these pattern robberies have been arrested and are in jail, investigators are concerned about the recent uptick in similar cases, Seattle police said. "

=========================

In the case of Asian Americans, we brought them over to enable us build our railroads. They were paid FAR less than that which they should have been paid. They were great workers, yet we didn't reward them.

After the railroads were finished, we treated the Asians horribly. Asian ghettos were burned and many died.

Those who lived, those who stayed, flourished in America. No matter what oppression, they overcame. Today, they are the best of citizens. In our schools and in the workplace, they are just the finest!

I wish these women had had some sort of a weapon available to them for self-defense.

The police arrive to gather evidence after rapes and murders occur. Police are unable to prevent such horrors.

"Brutal sex attacker who tied up teenagers as he carried out two sickening home invasion rapes 12 hours apart in Aylesbury is jailed for life"

11th Jul 2023

https://www.bucksherald.co.uk/news/...apart-in-aylesbury-is-jailed-for-life-4215214

Brutal rapist Albert Lamb who tied up two teenagers after breaking into their home and raped the 17-year-old girl on her mother's bed, was jailed for life yesterday (Mon).

Lamb will have to serve a minimum of 12 years in jail before being considered for parole.

Grace Ong, prosecuting, recounted for the court the string of horrifying events that took place over a 12-hour time span in February this year.

She said: "On the Sunday evening of February 12, 2023, Lamb went to the house of the first complainant and knocked on the front door. When nobody answered, he went around the back and climbed over the fence and asked to be let in. The complainant held up her phone and said she would call the police.

"He managed to climb into the kitchen from the window and took her phone away from her."

Ms Ong continued: "He comes in and immediately started to attack her with a metal bar. After she was hit, she said everything became hazy. She went to the bathroom to mend her cuts and noticed there was blood everywhere. At which point Lamb entered and said he wanted to have sex. He was still holding the metal bar."

Judge Tulk heard that Lamb went on to rape the woman in her bathroom while she bled from her head.

She said that Lamb managed to escape the police, who had been called by neighbours, by climbing out of the bathroom window. Before he left, he threatened the woman that he would come back to "finish her off" if she spoke to the police.

The next day, at around 11am, 44-year-old Lamb broke into another home less than a couple miles away from where he committed his first rape.

Mrs Ong told the court: "On the morning of February 13, the second victim, an underage girl, said a man rang her doorbell. She opened the door and he started talking to her about a mattress that had been left on their driveway. He offered to move it, and to leave his number.

"When she declined, he burst into the house and closed the door behind him. He put his hand on her mouth and told her 'Don't scream. I have killed before and I will kill you'."

Mrs Ong continued: "He took the girl to her mother's bedroom and began to rape her. He asked her age and when she told him she hoped it would make him stop. But instead, he moaned and continued raping her. She described it as 'really, really, really painful.'

After the rape, Lamb went around the house looking for money and saw the girl's younger brother hiding in his bedroom.

Mrs Ong said: "The boy had heard everything that was going on and had called the police."

Lamb tied up both children so tightly that the girl lost sensation of her fingers. He tied their ankles with leggings and escaped the house. The children managed to open a window and explain to police officers who arrived, that they were tied up and in need of immediate assistance.

Both victims had suffered significant injuries, including internal bleeding from the rape in the case of the teenage girl and lacerations to the head in the case of the woman.

The teenage girl describes having lost 6kg in weight and parts of her hair due to the stress and anguish from the attack.

She said: "Since the incident I have lost a lot of my independence, which I value dearly. I cannot stand to be left alone as I end up getting flashbacks. I can no longer get the bus to school. Everyone is a threat to me now - and it is exhausting."

If migrants have come to loot, then you gotta shoot. Find any ammo cheap, buy it. In 9mm, I'm buying FMJ due to prices having fallen below $20 / box of 50 rounds -- pay cash, no I.D. required in most US Heartland states. FMJ is OK for the range and to chase away those who you initially do not want to kill (aim for dirt, feet, lower legs). Same is true of birdshot even though birdshot is super valuable to hunt/provide small game meat for the stew pot. Seems standard velocity .22 LR is as expensive as high velocity .22 LR ammo . Still, I buy standard/subsonic .22 LR, because it is more accurate, doesn't damage edible meat like high velocity hollow-points, and is substantially quieter, plus doesn't have the supersonic crack sound.

Post-SHTF, cats may or may not last long (?). People will be eating them. I would. A .22 high vel. HP will nail a cat. How about standard velocity rounds through the heart or lungs? Will this do the trick. Any head-shot will likely kill even with a high velocity .22 pellet rifle. Shot a cat with a .177 in the guts/lungs (?) at 40+ yards and all it did was scream, spin around, and run away. But, what about standard velocity .22 LR rounds? I've never killed a cat with target ammo. Does this work well? Does it word at all?

Here's some pre-SHTF advice for American Southerners. Post-SHTF, this is how ALL intruders must be handled all across Western nations.

In a press conference in Santa Rosa County, Florida, Sheriff Bob Johnson made headlines with his bold statements: “If somebody’s breaking into your house, you’re more than welcome to shoot them in Santa Rosa County. We prefer that you do, actually.”

Sheriff Johnson’s controversial statement came during a press conference where he addressed rising concerns about home invasions and property crimes in Santa Rosa County. He argued that residents have the right to defend themselves and their property, even if it means using lethal force

“So whoever that was, you’re not in trouble,” Johnson added. “Come see us. We have a gun safety class we put on every other Saturday. And if you take that, you’ll shoot a lot better and hopefully you’ll save the taxpayers money.” https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=4999213036780608

The statement has reignited the debate on self-defense, property rights, and law enforcement’s role. It comes at a time when squatter cases are making headlines in New York, adding complexity to the discussion.

One such case in New York involved a homeowner who faced a nightmare scenario when squatters took over his property. Despite being the rightful owner, the homeowner was arrested. https://nypost.com/2024/03/23/opini...sees-rightful-owner-arrested-end-the-madness/

"Hero grandmother shoots burglar who interrupted Taylor Swift movie night with granddaughter – before tending to his wound "

https://nypost.com/2024/04/27/us-ne...oots-burglar-during-taylor-swift-movie-night/

Begin quote

A New Mexico grandmother is being hailed as a hero after she shot down a runaway criminal who stormed into her home, derailing what was supposed to be a tranquil movie night with her granddaughter.

“Get back. Get back. I have a gun. Get back. Get back,” Anissa Tinnin warned the stranger before firing.

Ten minutes before chaos erupted, Tinnin and her 4-year-old grandchild were singing and dancing along to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour film.

That’s when the stranger — identified by cops as 34-year-old Joseph Rivera — burst through the door in a desperate bid to hide from police.

Albuquerque police were chasing Rivera when they caught him allegedly driving in a stolen car that night. They deployed spike strips to stop him, but Rivera continued driving on the rims of the vehicle until he crashed.

That’s when he took off on foot, hopped a fence into Tinnin’s yard and walked right into her home.

The 45-year-old grandmother tried to calm the alleged criminal down, but ultimately handed the key fob over to him so that she could get him to leave her home.

“I told him to not hurt us, that I would do whatever he wanted. I would give him keys, money, whatever it took,” said Tinnin.

As he headed to the car, Tinnin dialed 911 — a call which captured her soothing her young grandchild, who she sent to hide in the bedroom.

“I need you to be really brave right now. I got to go. Stay right here in the bedroom … It’s okay baby,” Tinnin can be heard saying between the girl’s cries.

The fearless grandmother grabbed her gun in case the burglar returned — which he did moments later as he heard police sirens draw closer to the home.

Rivera allegedly burst through the locked front door and charged at Tinnin despite her pleas to stop.

“Get back. get back. I have a gun. Get back. Get back. I will f–king shoot you,” Tinnin warned moments before pulling the trigger.

A wounded Rivera asked the woman why she fired, to which she responded: “Because you’re in my f–king house!”

Tinnin then offered to help put pressure on Rivera’s gunshot wound and bring him water, but warned that she wouldn’t hesitate to shoot him again if he tried any tricks.

Police arrived minutes later, dragging Rivera out of the home.

Rivera was charged with burglary, attempting to commit a felony and auto theft — on top of five previous felony convictions for previous burglaries and auto thefts.

Old Gzr, passing observation: This event was the sixth time, 6x, this fellow committed a felony. That he never pulled sufficient time in prison for the earlier felonies resulted in society having to continue to suffer from his ongoing criminal career.

The good-guy in the following videos (below) is no fan of the shotgun for home defense. Me, I am. Proven decades ago. Racking the slide of my pump gave a potential home invader religion. I know what shotguns do to animals.

But man, I really like the fellow presenting the videos below. Listen to him and the folk he brings-in to provide expertise. He and I would really get along even though we disagree on the this'n'thats. I'd invite him to my house for a sit-down and drinks. This man is smarrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttt!

Benelli is a super-quality shotgun manufacturer! Not up for debate. As with all semi-automatic firearms, make sure your firearm "likes" the ammunition you end up storing. Do the range time!!! I cannot over-emphasis the critical importance of spending massive amounts of time at the range. It took me a good long time at the range and finding the handgun that "fit" me to get me to get good with a handgun. The exact same thing is true of the shotgun. Don't just buy one and lean it against the wall of your bedroom!!! That means nothing and if your home is burglarized, it's a 100% chance they'll take ALL of your firearms = buy a fast-opening gun safe. Only take your choice weapon out at night. Put it/them back before leaving for work.

Most firearm ammo will shoot through home interior walls. This is beyond scary. Sometimes, birdshot will not blow holes through walls. Thus, you MUST train your family what to do in case of a fire or home invasion = safe room, concealment vs. cover, call 911, stay low, ... . Practice, practice, practice! Unprepared = tragedy.

=================================================

Most home invaders are bereft of bravery. They, most often, are evolutionary throw-backs.

Can you count on them being stupid or weak? Holy crap, NO !!!

A human with multiple drugs in their system (add alcohol) are almost impervious to injuries, even MASSIVE injuries. Getting hit with multiple tasers and pepper gas has ZERO effect on them. Ask any cop who has years of experience in the field / on the streets. There are innumerable stories of aggressive felons taking multiple hits from supremely lethal weapons and ammunition, yet keep on fighting, keep going for weapons.

Normal/everyday folk are totally unable to fathom this phenomenon. Cops and people who have worked psych wards are all too familiar with this phenomenon.

Side note: There are times during a building invasion when you NEED to shoot through exterior walls, interior walls, floors, & ceilings. This is when >.30 cal. high-velocity rounds and shotgun slugs (brass) come into play. That's a whole other topic. Normally, you do NOT want over-penetration.

==========================

 

What I witness in TV series and movies irks me to the core.

Post-SHTF, when you neutralize invaders, you MUST take the firearms and the ammunition they carried with them ... IF it is of value.

Sort-out the effective weaponry, ammunition, and other supplies. Keep ammunition chambered by your firearms and the appropriated firearms of those who meant to kill you. Note: You can't store it all! You cannot transport it all. Weight is weight. This takes up space AND if you in some di-di-mau situation, that weight represents more than just a burden ... could be that you're risking your life and those with you.

Keep only that which is needed. Destroy the remainder. Burn/destroy what you can't take with you. Never enrich the monsters.
.

 

.
Be profoundly careful when defending your house from home invaders!

The police are now acting like invading troops. They are very aggressive and not fully trained. Many, many times, the police "spray and pray". They empty their weapons' magazines into dwellings.

Suspicious knock at the door? Retreat with your family to a per-designated safe room and call 911. The 911 operator will tell you if your house is the target of a police raid. That operator should notify the police at your residence that you have called 911 and are willing to be compliant if they show their badges. When calling 911, tell the operator that the home invaders are posing as police. Why? Because invaders nowadays often pose as police, along with having fake badges and uniforms.

"Breonna Taylor, Kentucky EMT, allegedly killed by police executing search warrant"

The person police were looking for was already in custody, the lawsuit says.

It has been two months since a 26-year-old front-line medical professional was gunned down inside her Louisville, Kentucky, home by police officers and her family said they are still seeking justice.

Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker were sleeping inside their Springfield Drive apartment on March 13.

Taylor worked for Louisville Metro Emergency Medical Services as a licensed EMT for two hospitals. Walker, 27, was about begin his new position with the postal service.

Walker had a license to carry and kept firearms in the home for protection, according to the lawsuit.

Police said Walker allegedly opened fire after they opened the door and they exchanged fire. Mattingly was shot in his leg.

"More than 25 bullets hit objects in the home’s living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, hallway, both bedrooms in Taylor and Walker's apartment and into the adjacent home, where a 5-year-old child and pregnant mother lived," the lawsuit alleges.

Aguiar said at a video press conference on Wednesday that the LMPD has been giving "conflicting statements" from the beginning of the investigation.

Taylor was shot at least eight times and died, according to the lawsuit.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Kentucky EMT who treated one of the police officers involved in the fatal shooting of ER Technician Breonna Taylor has been placed on leave after a Facebook post saying, “I feel like I saved a monster.”

Norton Healthcare EMT Will Smith, who worked for Louisville EMS at the time of the shooting, wrote in the now-deleted post that he was “the first medical hands” on Louisville Police Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly after Mattingly was shot by Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker during a raid of Taylor’s apartment, according to WDRB.

Taylor, an ER technician at Medical Center Jewish East and Norton Healthcare and a former Louisville EMT, was shot six times during the raid conducted by Mattingly, Detective Myles Cosgrove and then-Detective Brett Hankison, according to the Associated Press. One of the shots, fired by Cosgrove, was fatal.

Hankison has since been fired and charged with wanton endangerment for firing his gun into neighboring apartments. The other two officers have not been charged or terminated by the Louisville Metro Police Department. Walker was initially arrested but not prosecuted for shooting Mattingly, as he said he believed the officers to be intruders and was firing a “warning shot.” The case has sparked protests across the nation calling for the three officers to be held accountable in Taylor’s death.

Smith’s post shared a link to a news article sharing newly-released video footage shortly before Mattingly was placed in an ambulance, according to WDRB. Smith wrote that the two EMS providers seen in the video are him and his partner. He wrote that they received a call about an officer shot but that nothing was mentioned about anyone else needing medical attention.

“I’ve been conflicted about sharing this with you all because as I know I was just doing my job, I feel like I saved a monster.. and now they walk free.. I’m pissed..” the post stated, according to a screenshot published by WDRB.

"A spate of swatting incidents has plagued Republican politicians this holiday season. Lawmakers want stronger penalties."

Begin quote

> A number of prominent Republicans have been targeted by recent swatting attempts.
> Swatting involves false reports to the police, who then show up at the victim's home.
> Lawmakers are mulling legislation to strengthen penalties for swatting and better trace the callers.

"Swatting involves making a false report to a law enforcement agency, usually claiming that a violent crime or hostage situation is unfolding at the address of the swatter's intended victim. Typically, a heavily armed SWAT team will show up at the unwitting victim's home and burst through the door, guns drawn. Sometimes, the outcome is deadly.

"This month, swatting victims have included Republicans including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. Democrats have not gone unscathed, either — Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was swatted on Christmas Day. Multiple officials in Georgia, including the lieutenant governor and at least four state senators, also reported being swatted within the last week, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"Greene even wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that both of her two daughters' homes were targeted by swatting attempts on December 28. On Christmas Day, Greene wrote that she has been personally swatted approximately eight times.

An estimated 1,000 swatting incidents occur across the United States each year, according to Kevin Kolbye, a former FBI assistant special agent who investigated swatting crimes. Kolbye, who died in October, told Business Insider in a 2017 interview that swatters are often difficult to trace because they mask their identities and use falsified phone numbers.

Kolbye said police are often unable to distinguish between a swatting call and a true emergency in the heat of the moment, because the crimes being reported are so severe that police are forced to react swiftly.

"As the information is going out, police and SWAT teams are rolling out to these things thinking they've got a real-life crisis situation," Kolbye said.

"The community is placed in danger as responders rush to the scene, taking them away from real emergencies. And the officers are placed in danger as unsuspecting residents may try to defend themselves," the FBI wrote.

The residents, too, face immense risk when the SWAT teams arrive. As Business Insider previously reported, Wichita man, Andrew Finch, was killed by police in 2017 after they arrived at his door due to a swatting call. In 2020, another swatting victim, Mark Herring, died of a heart attack after heavily armed cops converged on his Tennessee home. His daughter told NBC News she believes Herring was "scared to death."

Found out last night that in Spain I can legally own and carry pepper spray, telescopic baton and a tazer none of which you can carry in the UK. Applied for a shotgun licence on the 10th, Spain's love of paperwork means it may take a month to process and get stamped 15 or 20 times by different 'officials'. I can own side by side, over under and pump action but not auto.

 

I don't want pepper spray et al, the shotgun licence puts me on the full rifle ladder which is what I want.

"Two decades ago, on March 11, 2004, Europe was shaken by what is still one of the deadliest terror attacks on its soil.

"The Madrid train bombings, which claimed the lives of 191 people and injured over 2,000 others, left an indelible mark on Spain and the global community.

"As we mark the anniversary of this tragic event, it is evident that despite significant advances in counter-terrorism capabilities, the challenges posed by Islamist extremism and terrorism remain as complex and formidable as ever."

"One of the central challenges faced by counter-terrorism practitioners is the dynamic and adaptive nature of Islamist terrorist groups.

"Despite concerted efforts to degrade their capabilities and disrupt their networks, groups such as al-Qaeda and ISIS as well as their various branches continue to demonstrate resilience and an appetite to carry out or inspire attacks.

"Their ability to adapt to changing geopolitical dynamics, exploit technological advancements, and capitalise on local grievances makes them formidable adversaries.

"The ongoing conflict in Gaza has provided an apparent impetus for these groups to stay relevant. In the immediate aftermath of Hamas’ attack on 7 October last year, both the so-called ISIS and al-Qaeda called on their followers to carry out strikes against the West and Jews in particular. "

Look at the immigrants coming to the UK, young, fit men of military age who will do whatever they have to do to take over the UK, they are prepared to fight and die, brits are soft with no sense of pride...UK will be the first Euro country under Sharia law and I'd guess it will in under a decade. Starmer will open the door for them and kiss their feet...LW, the UK is flucked, finished.

 

Europe is turning to the right, the next four or five years will make history.

You have no idea how many are trained or radicalised, most have no needed skills, will never work and demand everything. They are coming here because they know they will be payed cash, given free medical treatment, accommodation with rent paid et al.

The UK cannot afford them financially or on a societal level.

 

The Labour party will be the end of the UK, on one hand you have Starmer who will open the doors wide and back all the woke gender politic (Biden is the same) and the likes of Corbyn who hates Jews.

Best the UK can hope for is that Reform and the tories stop labour having a clear majority.

 

Irrespective of politics, nations must protect their borders.

Were I a left-winger, I'd say that my nation should first bring as much full employment to our own citizens before letting others in. Were I a Leftist, I would be talking about the migrants entering trade unions. I would worry about outsiders over-burdening government aid to the poor of my own country. Breaking the system = zero benefits for anyone.

Were I a right-winger, my first words would be, "Illegal immigration is illegal." Next, I would talk about from where it is resources are to come for them. England is not self-sufficient for food. I'd put self-sufficiency as a far higher goal than taking-in the greater world's population. Were there jobs and excess resources available, then let's bring-in labor -- especially skilled labor. Time was in America that there was a vast need for industrial laborers. Just one example: Steel factories were needed to build railroads and infrastructure. America was a breadbasket. We had millions of square miles, a VAST swath, of fields of grain to feed people and farm animals. Bring in needed workers? Sure.

Old Gzr: Normally in Texas, a homeowner who shoots an invader never is prosecuted. Austin Texas, however, has become a socialist hub within Texas. I see Austin as a cancer Texas has developed.

In socialist Austin, the homeowner could indeed by charged for deep-sixing a potential Democrat voter.
