No limit stupidity

[Sangersteve]

Lakesha Thompson sports a particularly warped view of the entitlement mindset:

An elderly man shot and killed a would-be burglar inside his Oak Cliff home.

Police say the homeowner saw Deyfon Pipkins, 33, trying to climb into the window and fired his weapon at least once at the intruder.

The homeowner is legally protected by the Castle Doctrine, which allows a person to defend his or her home against an intruder.

“It means they don’t actually have to retreat once someone comes in their home,” Sergeant Calvin Johnson, Dallas Police Department, said. “You have the option of using deadly force if you believe your life is in danger.”

After police notified relatives of Pipkins’ death, some showed up at the house. They were upset, and questioned the homeowner’s actions.

“He could have used a warning,” Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins’ sister-in-law, said. “He could have let him know that he did have a gun on his property and he would use it in self-defense.”

Pipkins had a lengthy criminal record. He served time in prison and was convicted of theft, possession of a Controlled Substance and criminal trespassing.

Thompson almost seems to view home invasion as a “no-harm, no foul” game until someone in her family earns a bullet as a result of his criminal activity.

It bears noting that the homeowner had been robbed repeatedly before this incident.

He deserved to be shot for having the name "Deyfon Pipkins" alone.

"Deyfon" and "Lakesha" sound like Swedish names. I bet they are immigrants.

The most disturbing thing about this article to me is that it probably reflects the view of a huge percentage of the black population. These days anytime a black is shot it is time to riot in the streets, the facts be damned.

Rioting means looting- free TVs and anything else they can carry off.
They look for a reason.

These home intruders need to be killed in huge numbers. That is more of a deterrent than anything the police or courts will ever do.

Agreed Mark, that is why I have Pit Bulls and guns.
