    Georgia Homeowner Uses ‘Semi-Automatic Rifle’ To Return Fire Against Three Masked Att

    Georgia Homeowner Uses ‘Semi-Automatic Rifle’ To Return Fire Against Three Masked Attackers. None Survived
    Scott Morefield

    A Georgia homeowner returned fire against three would-be robbers early Monday morning, killing all three.

    Two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old reportedly covered their faces and approached a Conyers, Georgia, residence around 4 a.m. Monday, according to the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office.

    The homeowner was outside along with another man and a woman with him at the residence. When one of the would-be robbers took out a gun and began firing, the homeowner shot back.


    “The victims of the attempted robbery were all uninjured, but the three attempted robbery suspects were all shot during the exchange of gunfire and succumbed to their injuries, one on scene and two at a local hospital after being transported,” said sheriff’s department in a news release,
    according to CNN
    .
    “I heard a guy yelling for help. ‘Help me, help me, I’m dying, I’m dying, help me, help me,” neighbor Brian Jenkins told CNN affiliate WSB.
    Carlos Watson, a neighbor who ran outside to help told the network he heard five handgun shots, then “a slew of shots” from what he thought was “an assault rifle.”

    Neighbors told WSB that the homeowner does own a semi-automatic rifle and is a truck driver who is “highly protective of his mother,” the outlet reported.

    The sheriff’s office told CNN the teens, whose names have not been released, did not live in the neighborhood but were from the area.
    The shooting is currently under investigation. Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett told CNN this could be a “stand-your-ground type of case.”

    From CNN:
    Georgia’s self-defense laws say that someone generally can use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to “prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or a third person or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.” There are exceptions, including that the defender cannot have provoked the attack.
    There is also no duty to retreat in Georgia law, but the defender has “the right to stand his or her ground and use force.”

    The home owner is a hero and should get a cash reward equal to an amount estimated that a criminal in Georgia would cost the state over a lifetime career of crime X 3. Sweet.

    Okay, liberals. Tell me why this armed homeowner deserved to die. Tell me why you would take away the instrument that saved his family.

    Kinda sad really when this is news in our country. It's not clear why this couldn't have ended in a more reasonable manner. Another example of how the proliferation of guns makes our nation look like a primitive and stupid society. Weak men who are armed are a dangerous mix. When we were kids we'd run through yards, climb trees, and trespass in simple ways. Of course we sometimes got cursed and chased. Today a child can be killed and some actually cheer. Wonder what their God thinks or their conscience.

    Every day, 310 people are shot in the United States. Among those:

    So, you're one of those that are upset about three people who attempted to kill a man who defended his right to live.
    It's all about choices. If you decide you're going to start shooting, you should expect to get shot in return.
    Your defense is: "Dey din do nuffin..." and ...Dat damned feller had no Right to have a gun in de face of gunfire."

    "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

    - Thomas Jefferson (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria)

    Guns have been around since the Chinese evented gun powder. You would disarm the law-abiding making worse and make it so difficult to own so that we are at the criminal's mercy.
    What would you have done if someone was shooting up hour house? Beg for mercy? Wait for the cops, who are minutes away while begging for you life and the lives of your family?
    It irritates you that guns can be used in self-defense. You should be proud that there were three victims instead of one, right...............the more victims, the better it looks for democrat graboids

    I saw this on television. The initial story was a white supremacist hunted down and killed three black children.

    Correction. The homeowner is also black.

    The homeowner opened fire without knowing what the intent of the children was. The children were wearing masks, armed and shot first. They are not innocent but thry are being made to appear so.

    So? What's your point? Where does all this ridiculous nonsense go? What is your "vision", do tell?

    Invariably someone crunches some numbers and then a bunch of idiots suddenly find "purpose" in their lives and go, "Aha, this needs to be fixed in order to" ... ... what?" What is your point anyway? What purpose do you serve with this?
