Home owner: 1 Burglar: DEAD PLAY STUPID GAMES, WIN A TRIP TO HELL.

I feel sad for the homeowners who now have to live with that but soo happy they took action and protected themselves! Way to go!

Exactly why we need to stand up against gun laws in this state. Not strip the rights of law abiding people.

Should have stayed home instead of getting all up in other peoples shit.

Willing to bet Gascon will seek felony charges for a homeowner defend him selves Before charging an actual criminal
