Armed Homeowner Halts Crime Spree
Another example where the conventional "system" was not capable of dealing with the threat.
A Kansas City homeowner fatally shot a man who broke into his home early Wednesday morning. Apparently the suspect had been on an early-morning crime spree, which included vehicle theft and assault, before he kicked his way into his last home....
...the homeowner discovered that the suspect, 30-year-old Christopher Robinson, had kicked his way in through a door in the garage.
Robinson was no newcomer to criminal activity either. In fact, he had been arrested at least 28 times in Kansas City since 2002 for charges that include aggravated assault, criminal damage to property, resisting arrest and battery of a law enforcement officer.
Robinson’s father said that he had always hoped that his son’s run-ins with the law would garner enough attention to help him break the cycle of addiction, but it didn’t.
“They could see he was a problem,” he said. “It was a revolving door, and there wasn’t nobody doing nothing.”
The police, the courts, and the penal system supposedly did their best, but when the revolving door swept Christopher Robinson out on to society for the last time, it was just a matter of time until he received justice in the most basic form—proving that the armed citizen is a vital element in the U.S. system of justice.
