Maybe I read the thread and misunderstood it’d direction but I don’t ever back down from my beliefs.

quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub quote: ORIGINAL: WyldHrt quote: I do not blame him in the least for defending himself and family…I just think he handled it wrong and it unnecessarily caused the loss of life. Did you actually read the thread before you got on your soapbox? From what Orion has said, the kid survived. [8\|] Yes I did...but it was pure luck... and I am not on a high horse...just think may have been a better way...and it would behoove us all to have a plan in this situation that does not involve gunfire. Butch Don't you think it would help if you actually acknowledged the chain of events. As in he didn't know there was a criminal in the house, only heard something, and investigated. He saw the man, told him to freeze, then told his wife to call the cops. The guy went for a weapon, so he shot him. Listen, I hear shit regularly, that I investigate, most of the noises end up to be nothing. In your world, I guess every time anyone hears a odd bang, or shuffle, we should dial 911. If that was the case we'd see cop cars running all over the place non-stop pursuing pans the kitty cat knocked over. So, "Normal" people investigate. Notice he never heard a voice, just noise, which could have been caused by a number of things other than a criminal. He instead of finding grandpa, or son scrounging for something in the garage, found a strange man, going through his shit. He told him to freeze, told the wife to call the cops. The guy didn't comply. He chose to get shot. And taking those events you say, we should examine how not to shoot the "KID", a gun toting 19 year old gang member, that is going through your shit in the middle of the night is not a kid, but someone that has chosen to possibly escalate the situation to murder by bringing a deadly weapon into their victims house. There were children, and the elderly in the house, and you are worried about saving the life of the Gun toting thief!!!! Amazing. Just Amazing... If the guy died, it would have been 100% the criminals fault. There is no need to "reevaluate" on the home owners part because they weren't the ones breaking in with a gun!@! Fucking hell.... is this hard to understand. The aggressor and instigator was the criminal, if he had not broken in, nor went for a gun, he wouldn't be in the hospital with bullets in him.

quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub BUT you are all right hindsight is great so I place no blame... just saying there were better way... Oh there's plenty of blame here. You just don't want to put it where it belongs. I don't know why. The kid was the one who engineered the night's events. Start to finish. He didn't have to decide to go breaking into someone's home. He didn't have to carry a gun. And even then, right up until the last minute, he didn't have to get shot. K.

Yes, you are. quote: ..just think may have been a better way...and it would behoove us all to have a plan in this situation that does not involve gunfire. Okies. You've got yourself and your girl in the room next to where the bad guy is, a four year old down the hall, grandma upstairs in the great room, papa also upstairs in a bedroom, and an adult son who may or may not be home. How exactly are you going to call the cops, get the kid, get up the stairs, secure the granny and papa, and find out where the other son is without the intruder hearing you??

quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub I am sorry you feel that way...I may have done the same thing as the OP. The thread is to talk about it so in the future it may be handled differently. Would it not have been best if no one was shot and the burglar was caught? I am certainly not putting the life of a burglar in front of a family. Only tying to talk of ways this could have been avoided in the first place. We have a plan at our house now after the break in. Do you think your laptop is worth a life for you to keep?… if you do and you still think I am an ass for talking about it then fuck you too. I"LL BET THE OP WISHES HE DID NOT HAVE TO SHOOT THE KID TOO. My laptop isn't worth a life but, if someone breaks into my home to take it it certainly is! How do I know what their motives are when they break into my home? There won't be ANY exchange of words if that ever happens and I'll do a few headshots for the coup de grace!

Start a thread that in YOUR OPINION there are better ways. But to come on a thread, started by a man who is pretty well liked and respected on this site, and question his decission about how he protected his family is fucked up FOR REAL.

quote: ORIGINAL: breatheasone quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub I"LL BET THE OP WISHES HE DID NOT HAVE TO SHOOT THE KID TOO. i love how you sink yourself with your own words! [8\|] (i highlighted in red) I have respected many of your posts in the past...so I am taking the time to better explain my position with you to try and keep mutual respect. I think you are misreading my intentions. The way it worked out was unavoidable and not wrong. I’m sure no one feels worse about having to shoot this kid then Orion, at least I hope so. I jumped in with the wrong attitude which a apologized for but then tried to get my point across in a better way. What happened happened and thanks heavens he and the family were safe. Now what I wanted to do was NOT criticize what happened but talk about what could have happened… There is a big difference that I must not have pointed out because of the vehemence in responses I got… And yes I lost my temper because I felt it unjust. I thank every family should have a plan and talk about it and practice it. Orion’s would need to be different than mine because of the house lay out but there could have been one that would not have resulted in this boy getting shot. This is the discussion I wanted not putting down gun owners or the right to defend your family. There is another point I brought out but not directly. I grew up in an area of St Louis that was gang ridden… if you did not join a gang you were a target for abuse so most of us did or spent our childhood hiding out. A very gentle best friend of mine was forced into a gang because he was afraid. He was forced to steel cars and was shot and killed…he did not deserve it he was a good kid with a knife at his back and a gun in his face. I hope this makes things clear. Butch

Not for nothing...but it sure sounds like some of you would now like to take a shot at Butch. Imagine the nerve this guy has...to suggest that gasp there might have been another way to handle this...which might have...perhaps could have possibly led to Orion not having to have shot this kid. What nerve

quote: ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf ~FR~ There are a few people that read, but do not post on these forums, that have communicated malicious intent in the past, one of which has a RO on them from a few years ago at a previous address. I contemplated posting that this was a hoax by me, but that doesn't sit well with me. I wish I had thought of this before posting, but I didn't. There is one small blurb, that gives my home address, but I am not going to post the link. If anyone that cares, when you find it, please do not post the link. I am ure there will be at least one person that will though, so that request will be for nothing. Those that believe so, can believe that it is a hoax, or a metaphorical story, I don't care about either. What I do care about now is some information getting out, that I had not thought of before. Pretty stupid, but I will live with it. Well Orion, you know that I don't ever agree with Sanity on anything. But I have to agree with his skepticism toward your story. You've mentioned before that you live in the Atlanta area. Since you've posted this story I have been logging on to the Atlanta Journal Constitution site and their affiliated tv news station and haven't heard a word about this. I've searched for home invasions and shootings in Fulton and DeKalb counties with nothing matching what you describe. Yet there were two other stories of home invasion burglaries in the past week that were of far less severity than what you claim, and they both received a great deal of press coverage. How is it that your incident has received no coverage? If it has and I missed it then provide the citation and feel free to black out any names, addresses, even the name of the media source itself to protect your privacy.

What nerve That ain't the problem. The problem is, Orion stated all the pertinent details in numerous posts. Police response time, the 'noise' that triggered his investigation, the fact that his KID's room was right next to his (and the storage room the bad guy was in). He's more than covered his bases. After all of that, he gave the guy THREE CHANCES not to get shot. The guy made his choice all on his own.

breatheasone -> RE: Defended my home (12/7/2009 10:19:32 PM)
Duh! there were OTHER ways it could have happened. But to come to this thread (instead of starting one to discuss the other ways issue) in my opinion, is poor form, and rude. Do you have ANY idea what the man might be feeling??? He was UP AGAINST IT FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!.... and now guess what?...He gets to replay the fuckin shit over and over in his head....and i'm sure he really appreciates the support he has gotten...and i know hes smart enough to ignore the fuck heads. But man...when you have been THAT fucked with, and something THAT heavy happened..... the LAST thing you need is an asshole saying some fucked up shit. i guess i was hoping for more consideration for the man.

Yes of course we can. 1. The 19yr old could of not entered into a home that wasn't his. 2. The 19yr old could of complied the 1st time after being told there was a gun pointed at him. 3. The 19yr old could of complied the 2nd time after being told there was a gun pointed at him. 4. The 19yr old could of complied the 3rd time after being told there was a gun pointed at him. I think that is a good start. I'm very glad you and yours are safe Master Orion. starshine

Butch So in your mercy I should be shot for saying an opinion above?...You know stating an opinion that life is worth more then household goods? you know also stating that if as happened the intruder tried to use the gun he was justified in shooting him...and to say if he had not gone looking for him he may not of needed to shoot him? All if and could have been discussions... Not a put down of anyone. You're good people Orion is not the kind of man to need a shoulder to cry on... I would hope he would like a spirited discussion on his actions... I'm sure he will give me hell... he does not need his little minions to rant at me like a bunch of babies throwing temper tantrums.

"Would it not have been best if no one was shot and the burglar was caught? " No. Consequences teach. Death makes one perfect. I hope the punk never walks again, or suffers something to make him remember this experience forever. Invading someone's home is a real crime and should have real consequences. If the punk has the support of a gang and some money, going to the joint will be pretty easy. I say at least give him a limp. Or shoot his arm off with a hand cannon. Whatever it is, make him know what it means to be prey rather than a predator. Sorry, but I prefer to solve problems, not manage them. And it is high time. T

Well first off my initial post on this thread(pg1 or 2?)was to indicate happiness that Orion and his were safe. But this is a public forum...all Butch did was participate..Offered an opinion,an unpopular opinion to be sure...but a legitimate one...whether you or others care to hear it. The venom he has gotten back might lead one to think he had broken into Orions house that night. It is surprising that speculation positing whether or not there was a way this could have been handled without anyone getting shot....has drawn so much fire.Maybe not so surprising after all [8\|].
