And that they were criminals who had no problem killing innocent civilians

That wasn't my point.
My point was that Maris posts mainly incidents involving minorities. I was in no way disputing that the culprit was a dangerous criminal.
Now, in this incident, no one was hurt except the culprit.
Here's an incident were an innocent civilian was murdered.

I like what General Mattis has said about the divisness in this country and he's right and it goes along with the trend for group segregation rather that integration and getting along through compromise and respect for one another.
He commented : “Tribalism must not be allowed to destroy our experiment.” The experiment is democracy and only infighting/inbreeding like rapid dog and segregating into tribes will challenge this democracy.
We then become like the middle east where hey have killed one another over centuries because of religious fanatics and tribalism.

I feel for the young people and my grandkids that will have to live under these conditions.
We must eat some humble pie as a nation and get back to what the founders envisioned and hoped for.

Ohio man speaks with the press after defending his home.

An Ohio grandfather with a loaded gun stopped a burglar who broke into his home on Tuesday, according to a local report.

Daniel McGown, 73, said he found an intruder in his Akron home and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

“They picked the wrong house,” McGown told WEWS-TV.

McGown, a retired attorney, said he heard someone ring his doorbell several times around 5:15 a.m., then heard someone yelling from inside his house soon after.

McGown said he grabbed his 9mm pistol from under his pillow and found a man, identified by investigators as Thomas Gaffney, 51, in his living room.

"I pointed the pistol at him and said, 'If you don't move, I won't shoot you,’” McGown said. He then realized he'd left his cellphone upstairs so he ordered Gaffney to walk up to the bedroom with him.

"I told him, 'you're going to walk ahead of me and we're going to go upstairs where I can get my cellphone and call the police,' and he said, 'Please do call the police. Please don't shoot me,'" McGown said.

"I told him to get down on his knees in front of the bed and lay down on it with his arms out, and I called the police and they showed up, and there he was."

McGown told WEWS his house had been broken into a few days earlier, when he was out of town. He said Guns, ammunition and laptops were stolen and disassembled televisions were left behind.

Akron police said they were investigating whether Gaffney was connected to the first burglary.

"If he had reached his hand towards a pocket or something where I thought that he might have had one of the guns that went away last night or the night before, then I might have been tempted to do that," said McGown, who reportedly has a concealed-carry permit.

"My home was being violated and here was a guy doing it in my presence," he added. "Here's the guy, and I just wanted to make him stop doing that."

Gaffney has been charged with burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Finally you post a photo of a minority posting something bad they did. I thought you'd never get around to it.

You knew they deserved being killed when you look at their last names.

Why all the racist comments lately, Lanny?

If you've got something to say, spit it out.

Bread delivery man with firearm made honorary sheriff's deputy for stopping armed robber
Clayton County has a new honorary deputy

A bread delivery man who was in the right place at the right time early Saturday thwarted an armed robbery at an Atlanta-area Hardee's.

According to WAGA-TV, Damario Kentrell Parrish entered a Hardee's in Clayton County around 6:30 a.m. Saturday, jumping the counter and pointing a firearm at a female employee while demanding money.

At the same time, Joseph Chilton, a bread delivery man, saw employees running from the store and heard a woman screaming for help. WXIA-TV reported that Chilton then sprung into action, retrieving a firearm from inside his delivery truck and confronting Parrish.

Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill said Chilton exchanged gunfire with Parrish — stopping the robbery and forcing Parrish to flee. Chilton managed to shoot Parrish twice before he fled, preventing him from stealing any money.

Investigators later located Parrish inside a local residence. Once he refused to surrender to police, law enforcement called in the SWAT unit. Fortunately, Parrish then surrendered.

Hill was so impressed with Chilton for "defending those who could not defend themselves" that he made the delivery man an honorary Clayton County sheriff's deputy.

Parrish is being treated at a local hospital for his injuries. He will later be transferred to the Clayton County jail.

Miami man tells cops he killed AK-47-toting man during robbery attempt

By Edmund DeMarche | Fox News

A Miami man claimed he was forced to "empty" his Glock into a man's chest during a brazen robbery attempt Monday morning, when the attacker pointed an AK-47 into his face and demanded jewelry.

Donovan Stewart, 60, told the city’s CBS affiliate that he was sitting in his van when he was confronted. Stewart, an NRA member, said he was with his son, 11, and his girlfriend at the time. He told the station that he is originally from Jamaica and is trained at handling a firearm.

"I am not going to go out like a punk," he said. "So I emptied my Glock in his chest."

City police told the station that they are investigating, but said it appears to be a case of self-defense.

“You want to come looking for trouble?” Stewart said. “Come to me. Come to me. I wouldn’t do anything like this to anybody and they picked the wrong person in this case.”

A reporter for the CBS affiliate said an individual approached him and told him the now-deceased gunman had robbed him at gunpoint last weekend, in an incident that appeared similar to what Stewart described.

^^^lol...do you ever even take the time to the things you copy and paste?

1. The guy who did the shooting isn't even from America...and if you listen to the video interview he sounds like one of the immigrants your boy Trump is wanting to arbitrarily deport.

2. I doubt the guy can even spell "AK-47".

3. This article is not exactly "news"...it's about a week old.

4. You may now resume your copy and paste fest.

Nice shooting! Sorry you had to deal with such scum but glad you're alive.

Arizona resident shoots four burglars, killing one, police say
One person is dead and three others are injured after they were shot by a resident of an Arizona home they were trying to burglarize, police said.

The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call at approximately 1:38 a.m. Thursday and discovered that four individuals were shot after breaking into a home.

According to a news release, Edith Guerrero, 36, Jaden James, 18, Leonardo Gonzalez, 27, and Jessica Aynes, 28, woke the sleeping occupants as they entered.

The unidentified occupant with the gun fired several rounds, hitting all four suspects and ultimately killing one.

Aynes was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead. Guerrero and James also were rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds.

The extent of Gonzalez's injuries was unclear, although police did confirm he was struck.

The case is being investigated by the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office.

Fascinating. This is the kind of vital news that should make the national news. After all this sort of thing just doesn't happen often.

Leaving your doors unlocked is living dangerously.

Posting that on a forum where most people know your name and what you look like is really dangerous.

Never in my life did anyone in our family or myself own a key to the front door until I was about 23. Oh, I think I recall that we owned a skeleton key to our front door from the ages of 9 thru 11. You could pick up a skeleton key at any hardware store.
We also never took the keys out of our car until I was about 12.
My dad never took the keys out of his pick-up truck on the job until he died in 1968.
It's a different world now with all the wealth disparity. The disadvantaged are even more disadvantaged. People this disadvantaged get desperate.
