I was really amazed by this post of Joyce Foundation-Stooge Jason “Baldr” Kilgore.
Here’s a scenario for you: You arrive to your home, expecting that no one is present. But when you arrive, you find a thief has broken in and is currently trying to rob the place. You’re alone, but armed. They appear unarmed, and upon seeing you, try to run away. What do you do?
Do you turn and drive away, then call 911?
Or do you pull your gun and start shooting?
I’ve seen this scenario reported from time to time, and all too often the gun guys pull their gun and start blasting. Consider, for instance, the following newsreport, from Myrtle Creek, in gun-happy southern Oregon…My comment on that first article was, “Nothing I own is worth killing over.”
So Jason has resorted to trolling for blogfodder. I guess I can’t blame him, even with a Joyce Grant he can’t manage to throw up more than two posts a month…if I post less than twice in a day I feel like I’ve let my readers down.
Still he cherry picks between the random couch commandos who are arguing with him on the news board, but frankly the big glaring thing that got me is weather he’s lying or THAT bad a person.
You see, Mr. Kilgore lives with his wife and two children.
NOTHING in your house is worth killing over? Look I understand the cherry-picked statement he’s trying to make. I’ve got a box of old clothes and things that once I fill I’ll cart to a donation center…I guess if somebody steals it, its kinda doing me a favor. Same with if I looked out my door and saw some jerk walking down the street with my lawnmower. Yeah that’s a few hundred dollars I’m out….but frankly I wouldn’t shoot a man in the back over it.
But its not like home invasions work like that.
Jason, can you picture your wife under the blur? Can you imagine your children watching this in horror? What if the thug wasn’t JUST content in beating your wife to death and instead wanted to rape her and your kids?
My wife is worth killing for, and I hope nobody tests me on that. And you think I would be ruthless defending my wife….I have a daughter on the way.
You don’t know the intentions of a home invader, what you DO know is honorable people DO not invade homes.
