[wtburnette]

That's what we get when people are raised like animals and there are no repercussions for their actions.

I don’t think so.

I think these guys really run according to The Script.

“I threaten you, you give me money/car/body.”

If you don’t follow the script they get really mad and beat you to a pulp or worse. Shoot them, and then they are really really mad. It’s your fault that they’re in jail/Hospital/ground? because you didn’t do what you were “supposed to.” You didn’t play the game properly. Unfair! If they happen to be in the ground, their mamas complain for them.

Detroit Michigan a year ago, but doesn’t look like we covered it:

Homeowner awakened at 0430 by Some Dude banging on the door demanding money. Homeowner has seen SD around the neighborhood but doesn’t know him and doesn’t owe him any money. Tells SD that through the door, but SD keeps yelling and beating on door. SD goes around side of house and breaks a window. Homeowner goes outside and confronts SD. SD starts pulling gun, Homeowner faster and shoots him 4 times. SD will never have to worry about money again.

Police question and release homeowner, and I can’t find any articles about him since the original incident, so I think he came out OK with the legal system.

Detroit homeowner shoots, kills armed suspect: 'It was me or him'

Maiso Jackson awoke around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday to a man pounding on his door and yelling. Parts of the encounter was captured on his Ring doorbell camera at his home on Salem Street on Detroit’s west side.

Alabama, year ago but don’t think we covered it

Woman tries to break into homeowners house during early hours. Homeowner shot and killed her. No charges for homeowner from cops or DA.

That’s about all the info there is, except that the dead woman’s name is Nicole Linton. I found that noteworthy because that’s also the name of that Texas traveling nurse that blasted through an intersection in Los Angeles at about 130 miles an hour and killed six people in August 2022. As far as I know, she still in jail, facing six charges of murder.

Would-be burglar shot dead by homeowner in Huntsville

Nicole Linton, 38, attempted to break into the home on Hartside Road early Friday morning, police said.

Pizza driver is cooperating with police who say this will go to grand jury. Harris County DA has policy of presenting every homicide to a grand jury.

Dead guys brother wants to know why pizza delivery driver was armed. lol.

“Pizza delivery driver“ by itself is answer enough.
