And you know that how?
Yeah, like many other unnecessary things. The ACTUAL odds are still incredibly low. Guess I'll take my chances.

Yea, ok. That's why they brought guns?
They all DESERVED to be shot. They're lucky she's got bad aim.
I'm forwarding this information to the authorities. You know something the rest of us don't and I think it's pertinent that the police speak with you. PM me with your info.
I agree with the danger (they were absolutely ready to kill her imo) but you can't accuse him of asstalez and then present the bolded as a fact. Most armed robbers don't kill their victims and most aren't wearing masks. And what about the wig?

The part when the dude was waving the gun straight past her face is terrifying as fuck. Dude could have spam the trigger and she would have been dead. Glad that she's ok.
I guessed as much when watching it. In fact, she looks so much like my aunt I went wtf audibly.
serves them right
she is vietnamese too

Jesus christ I have little sympathy for the burglars
You don't accuse someone of tales from their ass then counter it with tales from your ass lol

I just want to know if the guy died on the driveway or they threw him out the car passing the hospital.
It's the little details.

This is infuriatingly ignorant.
I don't advocate owning guns, but this was legitimate self defense, and she had reasonable cause to fear for her life. Even if you were right, and they weren't planning on shooting anyone, she had no reason to think that, and she had no reason to act like a doormat and let them do what they wanted to either.

Couldn't care less a gun carrying would be criminal/murderer was killed. Hope the 2 that survived are either captured or seriously make some new life choices

No. Like I previously said. There's no way to know for certain. But any rational human being can infer from multiple armed people breaking into their home that their lives are in danger.
Yes. She was absolutely justified in using lethal force. What was her alternative? Roll the fucking dice on being passive and hope she doesn't get raped/murdered?
I think the fact that he took it off was telling.
It's not a tale. Witnesses get eliminated all the time. Those guys busted in there guns drawn and ready to fight.
Link or I will consider this a folk tale.
It takes a really evil state of mind to blame the innocent for the actions of the guilty. The man is dead because him and others burst through the door with guns drawn. They are the ones entirely responsible for the situation that caused a human death, not the innocent victim put in mortal danger.
They broke in, she was definitely in the moral right to shoot (and kill) them. It wasn't necessarily brave to do what she did. She did what was the most prudent action. Laying in wait to ambush them would have also been acceptable.
Unknown if she was doing blind fire out the door or not. Definitely wrong to do if she was blind firing. Can't tell from the video.

The fuck it would. There's a saying amongst a lot of gun owners that goes along the lines of 'you fire the bullet, you own the results'. Firing out the door at a fleeing robber crosses a line where you may still be legally justified to kill that person, but good luck trying to duck responsibility for a stray bullet that kills an innocent.
Why bring it up? Because it's irresponsible and dangerous. Shooting at them in the house vs shooting at them out the door as they flee are very different scenarios.

I don't mainly visit off topic GAF, but do yall on here really go in circles arguing stuff like this.
MY GOD.
Uhh, yes? Like how the hell can anybody think it wasn't? I'm shaking my head like I never did before reading your posts. It's really making me sick to my stomach
You are sitting there all arm chair Poirot giving out criminal profiles from 45 seconds of footage. We have no idea what they would have done if she hadn't emptied a clip into them. Tales from my ass indeed.

No one knows. And she was under no moral obligation to submit and find out.
I take no issue with her defending herself.
Some of y'all in here cold-blooded as fuck.
She does have the right to defend her property(not sure if she does own said property), but goddamn.
Also she should not have kept shooting into the street once the assailants fled the scene. Somebody could have caught a hot one just passing by.

Good for her, fuck those burglars got what was coming to them.
I'm sorry for the family, but fuck that guy. He enters someone's house holding a gun and intending to rob them and potentially kill them, he's made a choice that can end with him or someone else dead. Better him than someone else.
I don't own a gun and I don't know how to use one, but if I did and someone entered my house with a gun on their hands, I hope I'd have the guts to kill them before they harmed anyone here.
This is why I hardly ever visit off topic GAF either. That opinion is the opinion most of off topic GAF holds.

How do you know that they weren't outside aiming their guns at her, or whatever other possible scenario where they were still a threat?
Even if they weren't a threat, it might not be easy to be completely rational when you just had three armed guys busting into your home. To put it lightly.
Yeah, I don't get it either. Shouldn't they do it quietly and when they're sure there's no one at home, in which case there's no need to enter the house Rambo style?

It's not smart, but it definitely suggests they expected the home to be occupied at the time of entry, which makes their violent robbery attempt all the more vile.
Man some of these people remind me of the family of a young man who was shot and killed in Florida earlier this year when he was caught robbing a woman's house by said homeowner.
At some point they had to have been asked why he would be robbing houses or something along those lines. Here is the quote from his cousin:
So, we have people out there who think robbing people to take their stuff should be allowed as a job. Why should we be surprised that there are potentially people here who think she shouldn't have defended herself?
(link to that other story here btw: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ar-as-he-fled-her-home-should-she-be-charged/)

This case seems very different though, since the burglar was both running away and not armed according to your link.
Source please for burglary where the homeowners got shot.
Thank you.
You're right. I don't think there's ever been a burglary where the homeowners have been shot. Not a single one.
Very good point.

There are a lot of rapes and murders but this is one of the most well known due to the publicity
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheshire,_Connecticut,_home_invasion_murders
Where did I make a point?
I'm just asking for numbers.
It's simply bullshit that every time there is a burglary, or so the homeowners, storeowners or whatever get shot.
