Every Family's Nightmare...
I am sure many of you heard this story when it happened about the doctor and his family in Connecticut. They were asleep and two convicts broke into their home, tied up the doctor and the daughters, took the wife to the bank to withdraw money, and also raped the wife and one daughter. They then set the house on fire. The police were called when people at the bank realized the woman was telling them she needed help. Unfortunately the police arrived at the home a few minutes too late. The wife and her daughters died in the fire. The doctor did survive. According to the story in People magazine this week, the convicts noticed the mother and one of her daughters because of her Mercedes and figured she must have money. So they followed them home and decided that would be the house they would rob that night.
It is the saddest story and is very scary to think that you can be out running your errands during which someone notices your car and decides to rob you. It has made us much more wary at our house. We have taken some extra precautions around our house this week and some extra shooting lessons are in order. Here is a link to the story: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/23/hom....ap/index.html

We have a seven alarm system in place, very loud and scary especially the white one. The white one is not to be trusted even though it has the lamb like look, very deceptive. Yes, we are practicing self defense. Better safe than sorry.

If all adult men and women carried defense weapons, crime would a fraction of what it is. Even then, there are always a few low lifes who spoil the parade.....

That story is terrible! I can't believe @$$holes like that can be allowed to walk the streets. They deserve as slow and as painful a death as one could possibly conceive.
I stay in fair shape and I'm a well versed swordsman. I'm not bad with a spear and bo staff either. Give me a club, long stick, or a good bashing weapon and I'll ruin some mugger's life in heartbeat. Having military rescue and medical training, I also know several sensative areas on the body where one can cause interal damage, loss of consciousness, and even death with the right blow. The Xiphoid process is one such spot. It is a small, pointed section of bone at the lowest tip of the sternum not far from the "CPR hot spot." The bone is held in place by a fairly weak fiber. A moderately vigorous shot to this point can break the bone off and puncture the heart lining, muscles, or even the diaphram.

On the flip side someone down the street from me has had their alarm going off continuously since Friday afternoon. I think I may go burn their house down or at least burglarize it on general principles.

Society is becoming? Like people weren't murdered in the past?
The only thing that has changed is the news has gotten better at delivering stories to more people. 30 years ago the same thing would have happened and you wouldn't have heard about it unless you lived there. I'd prefer if that were still the case. In what way has any of our lives improved because of this story? It doesn't affect us, why should we read about it? |
