Intruder calls 911, afraid homeowner may have gun

[Cmdr Sheppard]

(CNN) -- This time it was the intruder who called 911.

A man who broke into a house in Portland, Oregon, called police -- afraid the homeowner may have a gun.

The suspect, Timothy James Chapek, was in the bathroom taking a shower when the homeowner returned to the house Monday night, Portland police said in a statement.

Accompanied by two German shepherds, the homeowner asked Chapek what he was doing in the house.

Chapek locked himself in the bathroom and made an emergency call, police said. He said he had broken into the house, the owner had come home, and that he was concerned the owner might have a gun.

The homeowner also called the police to report that he had found a man in the house.

Police with dogs took Chapek, 24, into custody "without incident," they said. He was booked for criminal trespass.

They did not say if the homeowner did in fact have a gun.

LMAO!!!!!

We're a Castle Doctrine State, thank God.

He would have never had the chance to make the call here.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Who the hell does that homeowner think he is, scaring that criminal like that?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Wingsofwind]

The guy would not have had a chance to lock himself in my bathroom.

The intruder was "in the bathroom taking a shower"

He should have been shot and killed on principal.

 

[George Costanza]

Yeah. Shoot the bastard!!! Kill him on the spot. Imagine - breaking into someone's home and taking a shower! If I've ever seen something that deserves death, this is it.

I love you guys.

 

[syrenn]

I love you guys.

Oh come on George. What better place to take someone out then in the shower. The mess will be mostly contained.



I love you too George

 

[M14 Shooter]

Yeah. Shoot the bastard!!! Kill him on the spot. Imagine - breaking into someone's home and taking a shower! If I've ever seen something that deserves death, this is it.

Depending on where he was -Texas, for example- that may have been perfectly legal.
That you don't like it really doesn't mean much.

Not everything that is legal is morally correct. And the fact that you do like it most certainly doesn't mean too much either.

Here's something to occupy your afternoon today - find a dictionary somewhere and look up the word, "authoritarianism."

Wanna take a shower with me? I promise there won't be a mess.

Like... adultry? Maybe that should be illegal, too.
Good thing laws are about porotecting rights, not imposing morality.
You have the right to use self-defense in the protection of your rights, within the limits prescribed by law. In some places, the law allows you to use deasdly force against an intruder in defense of your home/property.

Exceptionally familiar with the term.
Explain, in detail, how it applies here.

Exceptionally familiar with the term. ("Authoritarianism")
Explain, in detail, how it applies here.

Aggression toward others that is perceived to be supported by authorities is one of the well established traits of the authoritarian personality. I would say that threatening another person with a gun (which, while it was not actually done here, you seem to fully support nonetheless) would be well within the definition of this particular trait.

Authoritarians favor the severe punishing of criminals and obtain personal pleasure from such activity, i.e., perhaps shooting someone who breaks into another person's house and is taking a shower.

One of the main characteristics of the authoritarian is a tendency to display prejudice and hostility toward all minorities (not just racial ones) and to be mean-spirited towards those who have made mistakes or have suffered. With this in mind, let's take a look at a quote from your sig line:

Artificially supporting the weak, slow, stupid, old, and sick creates an unnecessary, unsustainable strain on already limited resources and, on the whole, weakens the species. his is intolerable; The Common Good is best served by severing this support. -M14 Shooter

Oh. So you weren't really talking about authoritarianism, which is a form of government.

I'm sorry - I don't do well with word parsing . . .

Oh, by the way: a lack of self awareness is one of the hallmark traits of the authoritarian personality. Let me ask: do you see yourself as having an authoritarian personality? Serious question. I would like a genuine answer.

I love you guys.

The homeowner should have given the intruder a nice warm towel, his best bath robe and slippers and made him dinner. I love you liberals.....

Actually, I did not see the homeowner doing anything wrong here. It's just rather strange that an intruder would be calling the police.

Don't get your panties in a bunch . . . .

Something you seem to be missing here. Authoritarians need to feel that they are backed by the state. Calling someone an authoritarian because they believe in the sanctity of their home, and are willing to kill to defend it, is wrong. Authoritarians are the people who think that SWAT teams are the proper response to minor drug crimes and parking tickets. Find out how many people in this thread support that before you start labeling them as authoritarian.

Suggest you not go there. There are dozens of characteristics attributable to the authoritarian personality. The need to feel they are backed by the state is but one of them. And I would remind you that M14 Shooter began this by citing Texas law, where, apparently, it is legal to shoot someone under the circumstances set forth in the OP. If that isn't showing a need to be "backed by the state," I don't know what is.

I have read extensively on the correlation between today's right wing conservatism and the authoritarian personality. If any more proof is needed than what our beloved right wing conservatives put up on this board on a daily basis, I don't know what is.

Good thing that doesn't apply to me.

Let me ask: do you see yourself as having an authoritarian personality?

So what if I do...?
