Keep your gun loaded....just in case...

...you suddenly need it!

Despite repeatedly misspelling Pocatello, the Daily Mail made my day!

I have no problem with this guy being shot. But what a crappy front door. Damn.

I got a steel frame door installed after an idiot with a huge Macho Truck beat on my door at 2am, wanting gas.

I mean, what kind of idiot with a $50,000 truck is out 30 miles from a gas station, at 2am, on empty?

He could have easily bashed in my old door.

I didn't have any gas, and, he was sorta pissed.

Made me change the doors out pronto!!

Sad truth. That's how we take care of business in the States. And yes, what's with the door? It took hours even to cut a hole in door for a cat flap.

Why is the "sad truth" the way it was handled? How else would it have been handled that did not result in the deaths of the people living there?

The actual "sad truth" is that this lunatic was left on the streets. The "sad truth" is that the apartments were built with such flimsy materials.

But the resident taking action to protect himself and his wife is not a "sad truth". It is the best way this could have been handled.

But I am curious. How should it have been handled, in your mind?
