Caller: 911? There's a man in our house.

Dispatch: Could you describe the intruder.

Caller: They want a description of you ... hold on ...

Intruder: Hi I'm five ten blond enjoy long walks on the beach and breaking into people's houses.

Misdemeanor? MISDEMEANOR? Kicking in someone's door while they are home is a freaking MISDEMEANOR?

So if he got shot, would the homeowner be in trouble for using deadly force to prevent a misdemeanor?

Well, you know, in the Bay Area, a guy in a spiked suit in one's bedroom really isn't that odd, or necessarily against the law. Kind of a you do your thing, I'll do mine...

And he wasn't doing any damage, you know, just kind of hanging out...

If those idiots had owned a gun, they wouldn't have needed to call 911. Stupid cops can't be bothered to protect people, they should all be fired, let people defend themselves.

damn, this article is full of stupid!

So you just hand the phone to the intruder and say, "the cops would like to have a word with you" ?

"Hey, pig, can I help you with that flat tire?"

"... and the other cop replied, 'Yeah, what were the odds that we'd get lots of calls on New Year's Eve?'"

"Um, no, we never arrest homeless people. Can't fill out the arrest report if the suspect doesn't have a home address and a phone number."

"...so the editor asks the report, 'was alcohol involved?' but the reporter says, 'i don't know. I didn't remember to ask.'"

If you can't solve your problem by shooting someone, it's not a problem, right?

I figured from the start that this guy was off his rocker, and the mention of him being homeless is only further evidence. Thanks for keeping the loons on the street and in our homes Reagan!

Smith and Wesson have never gotten a flat on their way to help me out.

Keeping safe in your house is like any other home project: Do it yourself.

We have curbside bins for bottles, cans, glass, paper, trash and yard waste. We just need one labelled "Home intruders." You just take care of the guy and put him in your curbside bin.

"I'm being chased," the Studded One announced.

Maybe he meant that he was being chaste? All those spikes are probably easier than fighting the women off with a club.

/it could happen!

Hmm...

California: Call 911 and wait with the intruder in the Kitchen till the cops arrive. Perhaps share a cappuccino?

Texas: Shoot the guy dead, call the cops, wait for hearse and medical examiner.

To answer your question, in California, yes. In 28 other states, no.

I love FL's more recent gun law ... if the person poses a serious threat to you, your family or your property ... BANG!

If the homeowner had a big magnet installed by his front door, this sort of thing wouldn't happen.

I have to say, THIS. If that happened in Florida the cops could come at their leisure to take the fecking body away. Why would the call taker want to speak with the home invading burglar. Why would any idiot let the burglar use his phone.

I know many Californians perfer not to own guns, but it sure would be hard for the guy to talk to the dispatcher after I stuck a freaking fondue fork in his eye.

I was in San Jose a month or so ago and the cops were looking for someone as I was walking a few blocks back from First Street to the hotel at the convention center. They stopped me and asked for ID and I gave them my license. They called it in (I suppose many middle aged CPA looking guys are the criminals they seek) and found that I have a Florida weapons permit. They asked to see it and then asked why I brought it (not a weapon the freaking card) to California. They were all bent out of shape that I was allowed to carry a gun in Florida. Why did I bring the card? Because it is in my fecking wallet. Very, very strange place that California.

It has been 9 years since I was there last, and frankly I will be pleased if I never have to go there again. I went there for meetings for two days and since the firm I work for has an office there I have had $63 sucked out of my pay for Californa Income tax, which I have to file a form to get it refunded. Even NYC does not tax me on the week or so a year I spend in the city for meetings.

California is a cesspool of freaks and perverts.

Ehrlich denied, however, that the officer had told Burnette that nothing would come of arresting the guy.
"These were experienced and professional cops," the captain said. "They wouldn't say something like that."


They should just be thinking it.

What. The. fark. I can't shoot someone who has kicked in my door in the middle of the night?

Cuz that's kinda the plan for me or the GF if I'm away.

Renter: (to 911) some guy dressed in spikes just kicked in my door and is hiding in my kitchen
Dispatcher: can you put him on the phone?
Renter: uh, sure
Dispatcher: dammit Maurice, didn't I tell you to stay home tonight? Now put the Renter back on.
Renter: hello?
Dispatcher: hi, could you bring Maurice back downstairs? He lives in 4-C. And could you make sure to chain him to the wall?
Renter: uh, OK.

"SF's Finest" come from the same pool of halfway-house rejects who can't get jobs @ Muni.

The same "law enforcement" officers who will ticket you for "speeding" on market street while ignoring bums stagger through traffic causing panic stops. The same who ignore traffic laws while looking for "revenue opportunities" on the way to a coffee shop to nap.

Morans.

Such ingratitude being shown to the man who travelled time to the benefit of the future of mankind! Here he is, having been turned to steel in the great magnetic field, and getting no respect whatever. Boy, those homeowners are just lucky that he hasn't gotten fed up and started killing the very people he once saved...

Shot, yes.

However, if he's killed, there's only one police report. My first karate instructor told me that, and it's a code I've lived by my whole life.

Here in NC you can't call 911 for a break-in until after you have blown the offender's head off with your Mossberg Persueder.

FTA: "I expected the cops to come through the door at any second," Burnette said. Instead, the minutes just kept ticking by, with the guy refusing to leave.

"I didn't know what to do," Burnette said. "I got my wife out of the house and just did my best to keep things calm."


What a wuss. If it was my house, the guy would have been running back out the door when he heard the sweet, sweet sound of my pump action shotgun.

feckingmorons: I know many Californians perfer not to own guns

Stereotype much?

This reminds me of the joke about the man who calls the police saying someone is breaking in to his shed. The police say that there is going to be a delay of at least twenty minutes due to other more pressing things. The guy hangs up, then five minutes later he calls back and tells the cops that now there's no rush as the burglar has been shot dead. Within minutes a half dozen pollice cars are at his house and the cops find the burglar, still alive, still breaking in. The cops ask the homeowner, I thought you said you shot him, to which the homeowner replies, I thought you said you were all too busy to come here.

Sounds great to me, but I'll be back home in Dublin as of next week. Dublin at the end of January is so.... where do they live in Engelwood?

There has to be a state that is not a crapfest, they just keep it quiet. Idaho, Wyoming?
