Robber takes 5 hits from woman in closet with kids and her .38

[lasher9999]

Clearly, she needs a .45!

If she was using a .45 he prob wouldnt be alive...and if there was a second robber...he's really stupid to stick around even if it was a 6shooter...but I second the vote for she should have had more "capacity"/speed loader. But I bet her nerves and heart rate were high as hell and she prob didnt even think about that at the time...glad she was ABLE to protect herself and kids!

Good on her for fast thinking. Who knows what could have happened to her and her kids.
On a side note how did he survive that? Shot in the head, neck, stomach and both lungs?!?

Yep!!!

That's what I carry.

Because it's the right thing to do. Not to mention I don't think death should be the penalty for stealing regardless of how pissed I've been every time I've been burglarized. Many kids learn not to steal from getting a spanking, some adults learn from going to jail for burglary, he got shot 5 times and he'll probably be going to jail on top of that. I think he has some decent incentives to change his ways...

So, you know he was just in there to steal something? your powers of knowledge are uncanny.

Small brain functioning at a very low level.

A head shot to an individual like this will only improve IQ.

 

[amoebicmagician]

you break into someone's house you forfeit your right to not be shot, simple as that. These guys never learn their lesson in jail. He went to jail before for battery and came out a burglar and possible rapist. No, it's better this way. This'll also serve as a deterrent to anyone else who's thinking about taking the 'low hanging fruit' of 'poor defenseless' housewives.

Sounds like a career of poor decision making on this guy's end, hopefully it's his last poor decision - whether it be by succumbing to wounds, or spending the rest of his days in the Graybar Hotel.

If he was there just to rob, why did he go to the effort to find the mother and kids in the crawlspace? Look at his previous crimes.

Oh, and good for her. I hope hubby buys her a larger caliber handgun, though.

The right thing to do would have been to make sure he didn't leave the house alive.

 

[Indiana Jones]

If only there was a king midas who could turn every .38 into a 10mm...

 

[cjroman]

Exactly, what if there were two of them?

I would much rather be done shooting, with ammo in the magazine, than hear a "click"

No doubt...she shot 5 times and had five hits, because she only had five rounds...
Maybe the 6th would have been Boom, Headshot and this career criminal would have had his career ended...
Perfect reason to have more "normal capacity" magazines out there.

 

[foxtrapper]

Her next gun will be a PS90 SBR'd and with the 50 round mag.

smh. He is a grown adult who has had multiple chances to rethink his life choices. At this point he is what he is. Put a bullet through the back of his head in public. Maybe then he will be an example to others. That will be the only benefit he ever has to society.

The only thing he'll learn in prison is how to be a better criminal.

 

[iSHOOT]

Its almost a shame we're so good at saving people with gun shot wounds

Gimme a frigging break and cry me a river! He deserved what he got and then some.

Yep.
Turd had every opportunity not to be in her yard, not to look in her house, not to break in, not to hunt her down, to leave at any point, etc.
Everyone should assume that a turd coming into your home in broad daylight AND hunting you in your own home, is more than willing to kill you.
He has lost his right to occupy space on Earth.

It's pretty obvious from his background that he was never going to "change his ways".

BTW, it's not "burglary" when you break into an occupied residence, it's a home invasion - not just semantically, but legally.
