Homeowner shoots thief

[Donald H]

Considering the fact that Canada has nearly twice the land mass but only 10% of the population we have

Yes, so true.

.....and definitely fewer racist blacks....I don't see your point at all.

But you do see my point and have proven so when you make a distinction between American blacks and Canadian blacks.

In Canada we hardly notice black skin colour and I attribute that to the fact that most are lawabiding citizens.

While Americans give a distinct impression that their blacks are mostly criminals.

The reason why so many American blacks are criminals is the key to understanding why America has become the shithole Americans claim it to be.

Let me know if you're interested in a more fruitful discussion. I'm severely pressed for enough time to keep up with replies that can lead to useful debate.

 

[Donald H]

Considering the fact that you live in Canada....and I live in America.....I suggest you keep yourself and your silly laws and fucked up opinions in Canada.
How bout that?

I'm fine with that.
But be forewarned that I feel I have a right to reply to anything that's directed toward me. You won't find me coming to you unless you're begging for my attention.
Have a nice day.

Figure the odds on my looking to you for your opinions.

If they started shooting at him first, when they noticed him watching, he would have probably been shot trying to go in. IMO, it is usually better to call the police first if you can. In. This case though it sounds like self defense. The down side is shoot outs can often result in nearby people being harmed.

So taking out one of the criminals...is a good thing? So that dead thug wont be having a shoot out again?

 

[daveman]

Why do you want people to be victimized by criminals?

Donald, why are you pretending this question isn't there?

 

[Meister]

They put him on probation.

They got him killed, basically.



Even the worst shot in the world can occasionally hit someone right between the eyes.

They? You mean he got himself killed, Otis.
You seem to not put any blame on this person.
I just can't think as stupid as you can, apparently.

 

[Concerned American]

Murder by gun is on the rise in America

So stay the fuck out of America and as for US gun violence crossing borders, Link it or STFU.

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

This explains everything,

 

[Concerned American]

You won't find me coming to you

Another lie duck. This isn't the Canada forum. This forum deals with US domestic issues that you have no stake or standing in, so butt out. No one on this thread sought you out. You trolled as you usually do interjecting your uninformed socialist opinion where it is neither wanted nor needed.

That is not what I said. We are not the judge, jury or executioner. However this was defending himself.

Yeah......not so much........Canada....growing gun crime.... illegal drugs need protection, and gangs will get guns.....

More fatal shootings. More family violence. Another pandemic year taking its toll on the city’s mental health. This year in Toronto homicides has been among the worst on record.

The 84 homicides so far this year are the third-most in almost two decades. According to the Toronto police data portal that goes back to 2004, only 2018 (97 homicides) and 2007 (86 homicides) were deadlier.

Mental health, gun violence factors in Toronto’s third-deadliest year in almost two decades

Shooting continues to be the major factor in Toronto’s homicide cases. This year 46 people have died as a result of gun violence.

Your criminals seem to notice skin color.....

it was found that Canadian-born visible minorities experienced higher victimization rates than both immigrant visible minorities and non- visible minorities. For violent crimes, Canadian-born visible minorities experienced a rate of 211 incidents per 1,000 persons, compared to a rate of 107 overall for non-visible minorities and 69 for visible minorities born abroad (Chart 2).

It can only help to escalate the problem into more deaths by gun.
It has to happen through trial of the status quo before failure is acknowledged in many more deaths by gun.

Stand your ground, and other such laws are only serving as excuses to murder their fellow Americans.

I detect an effort by the OP to troll and in some ways suggest that deaths by gun should be celebrated.

Spoken like a true authoritarian coward.

Hadn't you heard? Some people just need killing. In fact, they seem to INSIST upon it for themselves by their treatment of others who've done them no harm. What you are proposing is abject submission and surrender to people who WILL take everything from you and feel justified in doing so.

 

[Esdraelon]

Seems like a lot of trouble to go through for a used catalytic converter.

I thought that part was a joke, at first. Are they THAT valuable to a crook?

So are you trying to say the perps were the guilty parties or are you trying to say the guy that shot one of them is guilty?
I'm trying to figure out what your dealio is.

 

[JustAGuy1]

No, I didn't.
But there's a discussion to be had on why so many meaningless deaths by gun in America as opposed to so few in Canada.
If you initiate a meaningful discussion I'll likely respond with my opinion.

Don't break into my home.

 

[westwall]

Don't break into my home.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

 

[Otis Mayfield]

Don't break into my home.

The thief didn't break into a home. He was stealing a catalytic converter from a car parked on the street.

I don't think it was the homeowner's car even.

It wasn't the thief's car. What gives him the right to victimize the rightful owner?

CHICAGO — A homeowner who says he saw two thieves stealing from a car fatally shot one of the suspects in a shootout, according to police.

The homeowner, a 44-year-old man was sitting on the steps of his home on the 2900 block of North Wolcott Avenue around 11:12 p.m. Wednesday when he heard a loud noise and two saw men underneath a car attempting to steal a catalytic converter.

When the two men noticed they were being watched, they crawled out from the car and pulled out their guns and started shooting at the homeowner.

The 44-year-old, who is a licensed concealed carry holder, took out his own firearm and shot one of the suspects, a 25-year-old identified as Darion Blackman, in the neck. The second suspect fled the scene.

Blackman was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center and was pronounced dead.

The homeowner was not injured.

Area Three detectives are investigating.

Blackman was arrested on Sept. 9 for unlawful use of a weapon and not having a valid FOID card. He was released the next day.

It's stories like this that help the pro-gun argument.

They picked the wrong catalytic converter.

Would it have been better if the homeowner went inside and called the cops?

Better for who? The robbers? Sure, it would have been great for the robbers, because they would have gotten away scot free. For the law abiding citizens? It would have worked out worth a shit.

Funny how not one, but two dumbass Leftist policies caused this crime. The Liberals fuck up everything they touch.
