I love happy endings. Don’t you?
Obama, Hillary, and the Bern are very disappointed in this family. Why would they possibly need to own a gun? Why didn’t they just wait for the 2nd responders to arrive and draw the white chalk outlines around their bodies? It was clearly racist to kill a black murderer.
A Mississippi woman whose family was being held hostage by an escaped prisoner shot him Thursday before her husband joined in the shooting that ended with the intruder’s death, authorities said.
Officials say Rafael McCloud had escaped from jail last week after overpowering a guard with a makeshift knife. Police had warned residents that they believed he was still in the Vicksburg area as a multiple-agency manhunt came up empty.
McCloud was facing rape and murder charges in connection to the death of a 69-year-old woman, officials said.
At about 4 a.m. Thursday, less than a mile from the jail, police say McCloud forced his way into the house after he encountered the husband and his 5-year-old son as they headed to the garage.
The husband told police the man forced them back inside, tied him up, stabbed him in the shoulder and held him, his wife and son hostage in a bathroom.
Hours later, the wife managed to escape the bathroom, before coming back with a gun and shooting McCloud, officials said.
She freed her husband who then fired more shots, killing McCloud, officials said.
The husband was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, officials said, and his wife and son were not harmed.
Police said they do not believe there was any previous connection between McCloud and the family.
Once in a while the good guys win.
Especially when they have a gun handy.
What a lovely story. I enjoy happy endings.
Once again you’ve mis-characterized Bernie Sanders as being opposed to guns. He’s not. What he opposed is assault rifles and the NRA scores him a D-. I’ll bet you can’t say where your favorite candidate ranks.
Westy. You’ve got someone doppling you badly on the trump threads.
Coast….I have no doubt that if Bern was Pres. he would be pushing all the Dem. core policies, including Gun Control (give them an inch and then they will go for the mile).
Trump is a lifetime member of the NRA and has a concealed carry permit.
That means he carries a gun and recognizes the necessity of them in private personal defense against violent attackers.
What he doesn’t have is a political voting record to rate him and his past support or opposition to gun bills in Congress the way the professional politician class candidates do.
“Bernie isn’t opposed to guns; he got a D-“.
I see that common core has left math and began affecting reading comprehension.
Arm every man woman and age appropriate child.
Westy, allowing me to have a handgun but not a hunting rifle is like telling a carpenter he can have a ruler and nails but no saw or hammer because they are more dangerous.
In the photo, which one is McCloud?
@heyjoe, haha i see what you did there.
And good for them, i love to see a happy ending. That shit is scary. Having young children in the house, I’m not able to be as ‘well prepared’ with ‘certain instruments’ strategically placed around my house as I once was. I would consider myself better prepared for that type of situation than an overwhelming majority of people, but this kind of shit could happen to anyone. I fuckin HATE french doors, but good luck finding a house in FL without them…
How much you wanta bet the husband gets charged with murder and the family sued in civil court after the Feds charge them with a civil rights violation.
What the F**k.
