Pick on an old guy will you? Hello Darwin!
DeKalb police spokesman J.T. Ware said that about 11 p.m., the unidentified suspect, who appeared to be in his 20s, broke into the home on Zemory Drive, in a neighborhood off Lawrenceville Highway.“The suspect, as he was entering the location, made enough noise to arouse the suspicions of the homeowner, and he was able to locate his weapon and load it,” Ware said.
The homeowner confronted the suspect, and after a brief struggle, shot and killed the man, Ware said.
Even more astonishing:
“He defended his home, defended his wife,” Ware said. “He did what everybody would hope to do in a situation like that.”
*blink* I don’t think I can handle a forthright cop, people, at least on the subject of civilian self-defense. They might want to consider replacing him, before the populace gets any big ideas about self-sufficiency.

Always good to see the police standing up for the home defenders, instead of downplaying the events or discouraging others to act in a similar fashion.
