Default 69 Year old Woman defends herself against Intruder

Good for this woman!!!!



69-year-old Ala. woman shoots 18-year-old intruder


DECATUR, Ala. — A pistol-packing 69-year-old woman in northern Alabama believes intruders will think twice before messing with her again. Police said Ethel Jones shot an 18-year-old man in the stomach when she found him inside her bedroom at her home in Decatur. Jones said she sleeps with her gun under a pillow next to her and said she grabbed it after hearing a door rattle shortly before 3 a.m. Monday.

Police said the suspect removed a window air conditioner to get inside the home. He was in the hospital and faces a charge of second-degree burglary

Hope that her gun was not loaded with lead-containing ammo that could potentially harm the environment.

Hope this poor disadvantaged youth gets well soon, and hopefully get rehabilitated so he can contribute to society. Maybe his Obamacare will speed his recovery. Maybe it can also cover a series of counseling sessions so that we can fully understand what made him do such a thing. The poor dear must have had a rough childhood, growing up in a bad neighborhood and was socially and financially disadvantaged.

I think we are all to blame. Maybe if we had produced a better society in which this young man lived, he would not be forced to commit crimes. Maybe this woman was wealthy and therefore one of his oppressors! Maybe this was just his way of acting out and making a statement against the very society that has oppressed him and his ancestors for generations!

Ms. Jones is just as guilty as the rest of us. B!*&h deserved to be robbed!!

See how silly that sounds liberals?

What make revolver is that? Is that a Saturday night special? That is the kind Congress has always wanted to be banned. After all they don't want the poor to be able to defend themselves from the predators among us. If the dollar collapses, there will be a whole lot of poor people who wont be able to afford a Colt and they will need one after it's too late to buy one.

Too bad she hit him in the stomach, and not a few inches higher!
Maybe we could all pitch in to buy her some targets and ammo to practice with, as well as covering her range fees!!!

I wish it had been a head shot instead of the belly. If he recovers we will never quit paying to support him.

Gotta love them old folks. They normally don't take too much crap. Speaking of not taking any crap, have you all seen Harry Brown? Excellent movie. Pretty strong, but worth the watch. Michael Caine is one of my favorite actors.
