'The adrenaline rush of a true fight-or-flight situation is something so strange, it's almost impossible to accurately describe. ...'
People who were in a real home invasion situation, what was it like, and what did you do?
"They came and investigated, only to find out that it was our next-door neighbor who broke in and was actually looking for drug money. As it turns out, the previous person to live here did at-home haircuts and sold weed on the side. The neighbor was arrested, and his family moved out a week later. THE ONLY THING THIS GUY TOOK WAS THE LUNCH MONEY I'D LEFT ON A COUNTER OUTSIDE FOR THE NEXT DAY.""I choked him unconscious and held him until police showed up.
"I tackled one of them on my front lawn, but he struggled free and got away. I saw the getaway car and tried to keep repeating the license number, but it faded away in my mind as I was repeating it.
"He fell onto the parking lot, hit a bike rack, and was knocked unconscious. I slammed my window shut, bolted it, and called the cops. By the time they showed, he was gone, but they found him two blocks away. His bag had zip ties and duct tape in it, and he had a record of sexual assault. The cops blamed me a bit for having my windows open. I kept my windows shut after that.""A guy who stalked me broke into my house with his buddy.
"Our dog truly saved mine and the baby's life. He was so protective, and I know if I had let him go, he would've attacked this man without question. It was truly a scary experience. I wish our dog were still alive today, but he sadly passed away a year ago. He absolutely adored our son.""My boyfriend Jay and I were staying with two friends of his, Jim and Jeremy. Jeremy had left the apartment an hour or so before Jay and I decided to go to bed.
"The apartment building didn’t have a buzzer to let anyone into the building, so when the police got there, Jay let them in and showed them to the suite we were in. After that, they separated all of us and put the three of us into the backs of three different police cars, where they left us while the paramedics tried to save Jim.
"We ended up going to a friend's house, where we stayed until we were let back into the apartment four or five days later. "She managed to hold the door closed on them for a few seconds, giving me time to open the safe in my cupboard and remove my pistol. I checked for a round in the chamber and went to open the door to make my way to my mother's room.
