Following the arrest of a prolific criminal home invader, a Florida sheriff is encouraging residents to take gun safety courses and be prepared to stand their ground in the event of a break-in occurring at their own homes.
In a press conference on Wednesday, Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson told homeowners they are “more than welcome to shoot” at burglars as he announced the arrest of Brandon Harris, who Johnson described as being one of the “frequent flyers” breaking into local homes.
You aren’t just more than welcome to stand your ground, it’s actually preferred if you do, Johnson stated.
The one good thing that has come out of the “Defund the Police” movement is this. Hurray and good riddance to the evil in our society. I heard him speak and he said this guy had committed many felonies, was actually in jail once for 3 years, then they had to start dealing with him again.
Geesh – we need our law and order President Trump back in office.
MAGA
Sheriff Bob Johnson, smart man.
Great idea !!! And it is LEGAL You Feared for your Life !!!
Makes Criminals THINK TWICE & then some before doing it !!! GOOD DETERENT !!!
Don’t shoot in the Back !!!
Keep at least a 45 cal or 44 mag handy !!!
I was in court in Charles County a long time ago (on an unrelated matter) when a man had brought charges against another man who beat him up pretty badly.
Testimony indicated that the plaintiff had actually started the fight and the other man had tried to avoid the fight. The plaintiff was told by the judge in a stern manner that, but for his own actions, he would be uninjured and not in court.
The judge told him, “you actively went looking for trouble. The problem? You found some but it didn’t turn out the way you wanted and now, you want the court to judge you as a helpless party injured in an assault???”.
Get out of this court and if you come back in another case like this, you will be jailed.”
If you don’t want to get shot, don’t burglarize houses.
When you look for trouble and them find some, don’t whine about what happens to you.
Without warning, shoot any and every person trying to rob you.
Take a jury trial and use Jury Nullification to be home for dinner.
BIG props for law enforcement telling citizens to kill low-lifes, criminals and perhaps killers if you catch them in your house at 2 am……
Personally, I wouldn’t kill them.
I’d CAPTURE them, duct tape them up and have the time of my life for a few days as they learn some serious lessons about life (and death). Scream all you want.
Good luck
Homeowners should not be arrested either since they have a RIGHT to defend their Home & Family & Self !!!
I wish we had that man for a Sheriff! I love his thinking!
Baltimore police are already telling people to go ahead kill yourselves and then call us to write up the police report when you are done! A friend of mine who works for Baltimore PD told me this. Also told that if you have to shoot them for trying to invade your home to go ahead and shoot them and make sure they are dead and then drag them into your home so you don’t get charged and make sure they are dead so they don’t sue you.
Make shure they are dead !!
