But no authority to use banned choke holds. In my line of work physical restraint is the last thing you do as people can die from what is known as psychotic exhaustion during a restraint; nor would I ever teach a choke or strangle hold to staff

Granny did no choke holds.

Or, is this a case of attempted thread hijacking?

No, I was just comparing a recent case in NYC where the police needlessly killed someone. Here in Philly, there was a famous mob wife who later married a cop. When asked what the difference between her two ex's was, she stated the only difference was that one had a badge.

Granny brought a gun.

Granny wasn't a cop.

Granny feared for her life.

The thugs bought the farm.

Granny is safe.

Do I hear a big hallelujah?

I believe that people need to defend themselves, but I also believe that the taking of a life does no one honour. Just ask those vets with PTSD, I still get nightmares 30 years later

Those thugs parents should be arrested and charged with negligence, made to pay for any damages done whilst committing the crime and any trauma therapy Granny needs.

This is true, there is no celebrating death.
It's a shame they decided to take this path for themselves.

A well trained dog would have let these thieves in but would have never let them leave... There's some wisdom to this method I'm thinking.

Don't mess with peoples homes and no one gets hurts Cheers!

You are only considering physical harm aren't you ?

Why should this elderly woman have to live in fear of these thugs
( or another group ) returning one day and actually causing physical harm.

We as a society need to stop coddling these degenerates that prey on the weak and quit giving them excuses to commit crimes !

I am thinking about physical harm.

life is not a safe place, there are risks and chances we take just walking out our door,, mere 'fear' is not an excuse for taking a life

not for me,, too many people to be fearful of by the way they act and the things they say, but I dont have authority to declare that I should have life (even one with fear) and they shouldnt have any

it was proven they entered in the past at least once sorry put they were trespassing and would more than likely would have done it again

how many times would it take before they became violent and who is to say they were not going to be violent this time

they illegally entered a home on multiple occasions they were lucky they were not shot sooner and whos to say that the last time they broke in that they were not warned to not come back or they would be shot

the teens broke the law and a death occurred technically they could be charged with murder even tho they were the ones killed

gee, I don't know,, how long before some vulgar jerk will become violent? how long before some disgruntled spouse will become violent?

should that give the listener or spouse the right to shoot them because what they may EVENTUALLY do?

cops look at profiles and whether there is a violent past,, breaking and entering or robbery without a weapon is not considered a VIOLENT offense

and no reason to believe that the mo will change to violence, although its always POSSIBLE, as it is with anyone that ever raises their voice to us or gets angry with us.

I know a death occurred when it didn't need to and that's the shame of it. I also know that because of the residents decision to kill someone those with that person can now be charged with felony murder.

Who is charging Granny with murder?

in the age of treyvon

no one,, 'fear' is the new justification....

so,how much do they think those Thuggies are worth?

well as long as they do not come into my house illegally they can get any way they want

you break the law you pay the penalty

it is common knowledge if you break into someones hows you might
just might get shot

they took a chance they wouldn't and lost

i guess they should have picked a less risky profession

to each their own values

I just value life more,, even a thiefs life,,,,

No, Granny changed that law herself.

when a thug acts like travon fear is justified

so if ur white and sue an author for defamation and the author dies
u r supposed drop the suit

but if u r black teens it is ok break into a house to steal from
a woman who is already a widow and not allow that woman full power
to defend herself and her property

Im not sure where this stretch came from,,,lol

are you training for the Olympics




1. IF someone has defamed you, or you believe you were defamed, no matter the race or occupation of those involved, you have the right to take it to the courts to resolve the situation and try to put an end to the continuous damage done by the repeat of such defamatory information.

2. If someone breaks into someone elses house,, whatever the race or occupation of those involved, ,, it is not right.

3. It is also not right to shoot someone in the back for doing something that was not right.
