When she went to investigate she found a man trying to break into her house.But the grandmother was not about to let him escape.“And I reached over and got my shotgun and I cocked it and I told him to stay right there because he was going to turn and walk away.

God bless America.. cause that's where this happened. No surprise as they have guns there.

I wouldn't mess with that!

If she had it legally - so be it.

Didn't press charges?!?!? The guy's lucky she didn't press the trigger!

All elderly Australians deserve the right to defend their homes like this.

'She didn't press charges and the man was released'. Free to do it again - next time with more stealth or perhaps more violence?

Death of Breonna Taylor used as ‘trojan horse to exploit racial tensions’: Murray | Sky News AustraliaBlack Lives Matter activists and their supporters are using things like the death of Breonna Taylor as a 'trojan horse ... to exploit racial tensions' in the United States and tear the system down, according to Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\nMs Taylor was shot dead by police in Louisville, Kentucky during March when they burst into her apartment using no-knock arrest warrants during a drug raid.\n\nAt the time of her death, Ms Taylor was living in a house with her boyfriend, who pulled a gun and fired at the police when they entered, police fired back and in the crossfire Ms Taylor was killed.\n\n“Today was when we found out exactly what was going to happen to the police officers responsible for her death,” Mr Murray said.\n\n“Now the activists wanted murder charges, but of course basic legal studies would make it understandable that for murder to happen it’s not just that you did it it’s that you meant to do it.\n\n“Ultimately it seems that the responsibility goes back to who shot first.\n\n“This is complicated, it’s lots of grey area I am oversimplifying it to make a point about the reaction to these stories, but instantly the reaction … was obvious.\n\n“But this case in particular is one that politicians want to jump on, and they want to jump on it going into the next American election.”\n\nJust minutes after the verdict saw one of the police officers would not be charged with murder, protests broke out.\n\n“There is a heavy level of organisation about these protests, protests that have been taking place in the United States for a long time,” Mr Murray said.\n\n“Why, because people like Kamala Harris mainstream them. Because companies have mainstreamed BLM.\n\n“They use cases like Breonna Taylor as a trojan horse to get people angry.\n\n“There are those that are trying to exploit the racial tensions of the United States, they are doing so because they want to tear the system down.”\n While the cops do this How degrading for some incel to have to post this bullshit from Paul Fuckkng Murray every night BLM exploiting racial tension? As opposed to what, ignoring it. Pretending there isn’t any? Cos you know so much about racial tension in the US Paul Whatis?
