Ah, but does it know how to shut up or does it keep singing "Amazing Grace"?

'911, what is your emergency?'
'I was out in my shed and a guy broke in. I shot him and I think he's dead.'
'Are you sure he's dead?'
'I don't know, let me go check.'

::BOOM::
::Footsteps back towards phone::
'Yup, he's dead.'

Haven't heard of that technique in a long time. Back in the 50's and early 60's, fender skirts were all the rage. Some of the more talented guys soldered razor blades to the inside of the fender skirts, and I guess it was a bad day for the thief, according to the stories I've heard. I lived in Albuquerque, and they stole anything that wasn't tied down. I lost fender skirts, several sets of hub caps (I had a '55 Bel air 2dr hdtp) and my radio, all in the span of about two years. They popped the trunk on my Dad's car and stole everything including the spare. My brother's bicycle was taken from the porch; etc. etc. If you drove anything but an International truck, you couldn't leave it even in a parking lot at night. I put locks on my wheel covers; they cut them off with bolt cutters...yep, four flat tires.

I grew up in that area also. Same time frame 50-60. If they couldn't steal it, brake it then they would crap all over it so no one else could use it. I posted the story elsewhere on TBN about the guy who thieves kept stealing out of his junk yard. Set a bear trap. Stopped that for awhile. I still return once in awhile for a visit. Parked RV at a rest area and went into the restroom in the morning and the maintaince fellow was in there repairing the door they busted during the night. He said it was a constant problem. Said they even blast the commode with a 12 ga. Rip the sinks off the walls. And yes I remember guys putting razor blades on their fender skirts and also hood latch.

At one time I identified perp that had robbed a client's property. (I located the items in a pawn shop)
The owner and I were ordered to appear in court to testify.
I lost 1/2 day over this action and since perp pled guilty they said that they did not need my testimony.
The result was that they paid me about $4.00 for my 1/2 day and 70 mile travel.

The perp cried on the stand saying he was drunk and had been dared to pull the stunt.
Now locally he was well known with frequent problems with the law but that was not brought up in court.

Ask me if I will be a witness again?

I just dont understand our laws where a person who habitual steels by breaking into your home get more rights even if dead than the one who is scared of losing property and feels unsafe on their own property.

I should come to expect this from the same justice system that lawfully allows abortions as a contraceptive.

This is really very interesting....

On the one hand, you are saying that a bunch of screwdrivers are more important than a human life...

Then you go on to say that a group of cells is more important than the life/choice of the mother.

Pro-life indeed!
