Jackson Jambalaya

In Jacktown you have to wonder if the pending charges are against the criminal who broke in or the resident who was protecting his life.
Thug was shot “several” times. Sounds like the good guy needs a bigger gun.

Rats, he survived. And we taxpayers will pay the hospital and incarceration bills.

It's now these poor thugs fault. Life had has always been an uphill battle.
What little training they get they are told to be proud, be hard, be tough, that what the man won't give you. Now, add the 29 days of over 90 degree temperature, no rain & it safe to say things are really quite & peaceful.

Expect to hear this........"The DA later announced several attempted murder charges (one for each shot fired) against the homeowner as the intruder was, at the time, participating in a new city-sponsored conflict resolution program...."

Yea, people are wondering who the charges will be filed against.
We all remember the man who was protecting his business, a customer's car, and his own life.
Maybe giving us the color of the skin of each person would go a long way to knowing who will have charges filed against them.

Coming up next...Lawsuit against homeowner by criminal.

@10:25 AM (aka Wednesday morning quarterback) - it is obvious that you have lived a sheltered life and know nothing about firearms, ballistics, and the human response to trauma.

A .44 magnum fired one time may not stop a perp.

Resident needs to invest in some hollow points...

Charges against the breaking and entering guy, or the defender who shot him? Inquiring minds want to know.

@12:35 correct, that's why a 12 gauge with a turkey choke and TSS or Hevi Shot and I will kill you dead in one shot inside of 60 yards. If by chance you do survive, I'll guarantee you two things, you wont like it, and you'll never want to do it again.

Please somebody, anybody provide an example of a Jackson homeowner defending him or herself in the home, shooting an intruder, and being charged. Or sued. It hasn't happened.

to 3:48......wrong....... it's happened one time. about 4 years ago when two thugs kidnapped and car jacked a doctor in his driveway over in eastover. little did the thugs know that the good doctor was a competitive shooter and he managed to get to his gun he had in his car and iced one of the thugs. the other one , who turned out to be employed as a prison guard with MDOC, took off running but was caught eventually by police. but i do agree with many posts on this thread in that 'self defense' and ' the castle doctrine' are a myth in our society. one can ice a thug in clear self defense right in front of the proverbial bus full of nuns who all back up the shooters story, but there will always be someone screaming for a prosecution for no other reason other than the person defended himself with a gun. remember what happened to the guy down on mcdowell road a few years ago when he confronted a thug trying to break into his car at his business. the whole thing was on video and clearly showed self defense, but that goofball DA insisted on an indictment and prosecution.

Please somebody, anybody provide an example of a Jackson homeowner defending him or herself in the home, shooting an intruder, and being charged. Or sued. It hasn't happened.

Jody Owens will change that. Willing to bet some $$$ that he will not?

3:48 - Does the man protecting his used auto place who shot the kid in a confrontation count? Oh, you narrowed your question down to 'inside the home' and 'intruder'. Anyway, he was charged and indicted by a grand jury. Jackson - one year ago.

The “castle law” protects homeowners. So everyone can stop
with the homeowner getting charged BS!
And, yes, he should’ve used hollow points!

strap this one on people. law enforcement takes the position that anyone who uses a gun to defend themselves is out trying to do law enforcements job for them, and there is nothing law enforcement hates worse than that. they will make every effort to have a citizen prosecuted for assault or muder even if the facts clearly show self defense. you didn't know that? now you know. you may ask yourself 'where does that leave me as a citizen'?...........well i'll tell you, ....at the mercy of herion and meth addicted thugs.

all you cowboys out there screaming about self defense and the castle doctrine better read the comment at 7;39. mr 7:39 is right.
