Ga. mom shoots intruder 5 times, saves children

[Tyriece]

Guns don't save or take lives, people do...

[United Aryan Asian Alliance]

Yes, Guns are bad. She should have let her self get raped becuase guns are never the answer!/ Sarcasm.

Uh maybe he was worried and went in to check up on them.

Oh sure, there's a cadre of strangers knocking on random peoples houses to check up on them. Yes its rational to enter a stranger's home if they don't answer the door./ More sarcasm.

[Warinemachine]

So what your saying she shouldn't of shot him because he was just a thief and not a murderer? You break into my house your endangering my family, my sense of security, my livelihood, and my life. No matter what your actual intent is.

Good job mom!

I would rather him take my TV or something else. Why would you ever want to someone's life over a trivial thing like material wealth? Human life is far more important.

The man would have harmed her children

[Conventiala]

So she shot someone dead because he wanted to take her things.

Sorry, I don't particularly care for that.

Now she'll forever live with herself reliving that moment of killing that man - hope she's ok with that.

She shot someone to protect her children. A man can overpower a woman and two nine year olds, armed or not -- sorry, it is just a fact. He broke into her house and came into the closet they were hiding in. She didn't take any chances. So, it was hasty, but why should he expect special treatment for being a thief?

"I just want to steal your belongings, not hurt you or your children physically! Don't shoot!"

[Odawara Hojo]

So now that's one story of guns actually doing good to.....what? 50 instances of them being used for ill? Sorry but this one story is not going to change my view that guns cause more problems than they solve.

[Fionnuala_Saoirse]

Another thread full of posts vying to crush my faith in humanity. Great.

Long live the mob.

[Lancaster of Wessex]

Christ you people are horrific. A woman defends herself and she's a murderer?

Fucking hell.

They obvious believe we don't have the right to defend our families. If someone breaks into my home with my children home, you bet I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger, I WOULDN'T CARE IF HE WAS THERE TO EITHER KILL OR STEAL FROM ME, I wouldn't take the chance.

God bless America, home of the paranoid and the Second Amendment where every answer is: when in doubt, shoot first, ask questions later.

Unknown and unverifiable speculation.
The potential for it was however there.

You're right. I used a poor choice of words. Lets just be glad that the mother was able to protect her children and herself from this home invader.

Gosh you Anglo countries are entertaining

Canadians own more guns than Americans but Canada is a lot safer.
Germans do not own guns and still safer than America.

The answer lies in an epidemic in America known as Paranoia (More severe than the fictional Hinamizawa Syndrome where the sufferer ends up killing people out of paranoia before clawing his/her own throat) and the lack of social programmes preventing people from falling into crime just to meet their needs.

[The Black Forrest]

Yeah because the intruder was definitely intent on murdering her and her children, that's why he knocked and rang the doorbell, to see if anyone was home. He assumed nobody was and broke in.

She murdered him, plain and simple, on a hunch. yay guns.

You think that a thief would not react violently? Why should a person take that chance? Would you put your own children's lives at stake?

Would a person in their right mind force a door if a woman answered from behind the door she had a gun?

The Second World War would like a word, good sir...

Since it's in no way obvious, I'd just like to point out I was being facetious.

[French Union]

Look guns save lives! proof proof proof!

Yeah? Thanks for posting the obvious fact that guns can save your life, or others.

Most sources contend that Canada owns drastically fewer firearms than the US. Since I believe hunting invariably requires a permit, and 'self defence' does not constitute a valid reason for ownership over there.

The story mentioned here is like third on this list.

Really?

What if the man attacked the family? She was hidding in a "safe place" or whatever, the robber found them and she shot him, in self defense. Whats wrong with that?

So she shot someone dead because he wanted to take her things.

Sorry, I don't particularly care for that.

Now she'll forever live with herself reliving that moment of killing that man - hope she's ok with that.

The robber isn't dead.

The situation doesn't justify the result, in my humble opinion.

You will disagree - fine.

It's my view, and I'll stick to it.

LOGANVILLE, Ga. — A Georgia mother hid her two 9-year-old twins and shot an intruder, Paul Ali Slater, several times during a home invasion on Friday, according to multiple media reports.
The Loganville mother said she didn’t initially answer when someone knocked on her door around 1 p.m. Friday. When the visitor began repeatedly ringing the doorbell, she called her husband at work, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
He then dialed 911 and his 37-year-old wife gathered their 9-year-old twins and hid them in a crawlspace inside the home.
According to the report, the intruder then forced his way into the home and started “rummaging” through the family’s belongings.
When the suspect went into the closet where the family was hiding ,the woman fired six bullets at the suspect, five of which hit alleged suspect Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area.

Another case of guns saving lives. Good thing we have the second amendment.

Yay, guns are Use full for once
Wait, let's compare the amount of people who save themselves with guns and take a look at the amount of people who die by guns

[Stedicules]

Yeah because the intruder was definitely intent on murdering her and her children, that's why he knocked and rang the doorbell, to see if anyone was home. He assumed nobody was and broke in.

She murdered him, plain and simple, on a hunch. yay guns.

He didn't die.

since there's no source and the article mentioned he was shot five times in the head and neck, i just assumed he'd died.

because he wants your money not your life, so why take his over something like a TV or money.

[Lancaster of Wessex]

The robber isn't dead.

Ah, well, that's good at least.

Yes. I care about the robber's life. Most won't, but I do.

[Neo Art]

Here's my million dollar question. Has anyone confirmed whether or not the robber was armed?

I wouldn't call “rummaging through my stuff” a hunch.

God bless America, home of the paranoid and the Second Amendment where every answer is: when in doubt, shoot first, ask questions later.

God bless the sheeple, who will bend over and take it while letting others physically take what they want from them for fear of actually doing anything about it, for it might hurt someone.

Clearly this is proof that guns always make us safer and we should no longer consider any gun regulation at all.
