scotty Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I heard on the radio on Monday morning that over the weekend a lady was a victim of a smash and grab also somewhere in CT and she shot the thieve to be dead and drove of to the nearest police station traumatised, could this not have been the same incident?Been in the news a while, turns out he has a history of criminal behavior. Apparently his grand mother is now upset and claiming that a warning shot should have been let off, its's not like the guy was standing meters away so how do you let off a warning shot ?

Lands Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Based on the unconfirmed story here I would think self defense is the most appropriate scenario.
KingTJ Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Going to wait for a couple of facts before knee-jerking. I know, I must be getting old.Wise words
Shebeen Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Dunno about this, live in the area and only comment on neighbourhood watch group was to avoid pgd on Sat morning. Also nothing in either local papers. This sort of story would normally spread like wildfire. But there was stoning around concert boulevard /pgd last night so try avoid for now in general. Where is the original fb post from , a business?

Kranswurm Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Please oh please can we have another 56642 pages based on "if he", "probably", "could have", "should have", "imagine if", "perhaps he".... It happened on Facebook - it must be true. How about we all take a nice deep breath and wait for some facts to emerge before it's all tar, feathering, posturing, ego, smiting and ***.Same people who spend their lives on FB

That was funny - or shoot him in the leg. She's been watching too much crime drama on TV where all these niceties are possible.
Joe Low Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 If it happened as described what would you have done if you had the chance to beat the crap out of someone trying to steal your bike.... I don't believe the death penalty should be there for stealing a bicycle nor for would I like myself for indulging in gratuitous violence; but add fear and adrenalin to the mix and who knows?
DIPSLICK Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 MORE THAN 90% OF Hubbers would take 5 min to process wtffff just happened, and you will play it over ten times in your head telling yourself how stoopid you were for not reacting quicker, being more aware, most heroes here have never been the target of anything other than a playstation game. So its funny how so many knights say they WILL react, and so many ninjas think the end result might be predictable

I personally don't have a clue how I would react in that situation...touch wood!
