This is a very bad week for burglars.........

Another side to killing these assholes.......

Well Mr. John Croft, I for one am glad you did what you had to do and survived another day.





Alabama man kills home invader: 'I hate that boy dead, but I don't hate I shot him'

By Fox 6 Birmingham
·Published March 30, 2017

For 21 years, John Croft lived in his Alabama home virtually problem-free until last summer.

“I’ve been a prisoner in my house,” he said.

Croft, who is 79, says the burglaries began last June. Since then, he says his Center Point house has been broken into 13 times.

The most recent case came around 1:15 Wednesday morning.

“When I heard the noise, that's when they opened the window from the basement coming to the level where the bedrooms are,” he recalled.

Jefferson County deputies say there were two men inside. Another, driving the getaway car, waited outside.

“I have three bedrooms. I think they checked the other two bedrooms out and then he came over there and said, 'Don't move!' He heard the bed squeak. I was getting my gun. He said, 'Don't move' and he used the ‘N’ word and I shot,” Croft recounted later Wednesday.

“I hate that boy dead, but I don't hate I shot him,”

Croft says he didn't know it at the time, but the suspect had shot him too, hitting him in the ankle.

I like hearing these news stories that end this way. It gets old hearing about the homeowners coming out on the losing end of the deal.

Good for him! I am glad he survived it and came out on top.

I would have thought he would have had a couple big toothy dogs by the third break in. Glad it had a happy ending though.

I propose an Armed Citizen page/thread. This would be for those examples we find ourselves, like the Oklahoma Good Guy 3, Bad Guys 0 recent event. Anyone can copy from the NRA magazines. Let's start the thread, hell even a whole section. Post the story and the ORIGINAL press link. What say y'all?
