True. I'm not saying I know the guy or what happened to him was wrong but I know I would be going for my gun if it happened to me. I also avoid problems with the law so this shouldn't be an issue.

Home invader, shot by cops. I hear the world's tiniest violin somewhere.

don't drop Aboma on me
Sounds like a very scary situation for officers and the suspect, but how are you supposed to be expected to comply after being hit with a flash bang grenade in the middle of the night? Isn't the whole point to disorient the shit out of you?

Have not. Very interesting
When you have at least two officers with weapons pointed at you and yelling at you to drop the weapon and get on the floor, you would comply. (flashbang or not)
This guy didn't and now we are free of one less scumbag.
No they shouldn't be a thing of the past. It is much better to do this in the middle of the night when the suspect will be disoriented and will have less of a chance to arm himself, take a hostage, or get into a possible shootout in public.
Chances are the flashbang was inside the door, not in the same room where he was sleeping. If it were in the same room, he would not have any time whatsoever to get his gun. While I feel for the officers involved, they did their job.

Obviously it did nothing to prevent him from arming himself.
This also ignores the entire point I was making; police do occasionally break down the wrong door. Nothing went wrong this time, but that shouldn't be taken to mean that these types of raids never have disastrous consequences.
On a somewhat related note, if the victims of the Home invasion shoots at or hits the masked and armed suspects on thier property (not inside the home) with a gun performing armed robbery and they were threatening them with a shotgun from outside their home, pointed at them, would they be found guilty of a crime? (assuming they are able to prove all this happened as said).
Anyone read how they identified Vail as a suspect?

Life doesnt work that way.
When he starts to run away through yards and is armed do you want the cops chasing him through the yards and shooting him in your back yard where your kids might be? God forbid he jumps into a yard with a dog and the police kill the dog to safe their hides...we know how that plays out.
What if he see's them coming and jumps in a car. Now you have a high speed pursuit putting lifes at risk.
No offense....I want them confined to their houses when they want to shoot it out with the police.
You cant walk up to violent and armed folks in the general public, tap them on the shoulder, and expect them to give up.
Police try that every so often...and it turns into shoot outs in the middle of the streets putting public at risk.
Just food for thought.

assholes are breaking into houses more in MD due to the fact that there is no concealed carry here, and so they think NO ONE has a gun and they can work with impunity to get their fix because by the time the police get there, they're gone.
And f**king omalley wants to disarm us down to five rounds and take our rifles? He even said in a private interview that if he could do it he would CONFISCATE OUTRIGHT every AR-15 and ak-47 in private hands in the state. No buy-back, no nothing- just
"sorry, but you were a criminal when you bought this, since I don't agree with you having this, you should have not bought this if you didn't want to lose the money you invested in it- you know very well that the state can take whatever it wants from you and it was only a matter of time before I got my faggoty way"
