Had one moron break into a house about 3 miles from me out in the country. Car sitting on the driveway and he still broke in during broad daylight. Fought with the owner who, for some reason, didn't shoot him. Oh, did I mention the car in the driveway was a fully marked sheriff's department patrol car? > Hmmm....what were you saying about a dearth of Mensa members...? ;) You have to remove YOUR mindset when you think about what the criminal class will do. They don't think like you and me. If they did, they most likely would not be criminals. Who kills somebody for a dirty look? for a pair of new Nike's? for...? See my point? |
