Count on it.

Great video!

If the media showed just how many times the citizens protect their property, or themselves,with a firearm, game over. There would never be another gun debate.

[TheArmedCitizen]

Never let the facts get in the way of a good argument, and anti-gunners never do.

that mother talked as if her son was an angel when he was nothing more than trash that got what he deserved. if you commit a crime you have to face the consequences and sometimes that includes losing your life.

[TheArmedCitizen]

Some mothers see their sons as angels no matter what they do. We can't blame her for her feelings, so long as she knows ultimately she cannot blame the citizen for protecting himself.

@Boyo1956 at 1AM no less.

The mom crying like he hadn't done anything... It doesn't matter if the place was empty, he went breaking into someone else's home!!! It wasn't his home to go breaking into, so he was in the wrong. I don't care how much momma greaves. And ski mask and crow bar... that doesn't seem like somebody who just wants to look around an empty hous.

[Boyo1956]

You always get suspiscious when some is trying to rent your place in the middle of the summer with a ski mask and gloves. I suppose the crowbar was because the key for the door had been lost. The thiefs always return to the scene of the crime.  If you believe that story, I will sell you a tropical vacation in the arctic. The scuzzard looked like a druggy. Good for the homeowner!

[TheDustSwirled]

Bloody biased. I'm pretty sure law abiding people don't show up to a house in the middle of the night with a ski mask, gloves, and a crowbar and break in to rent a house that isn't up for rent.

[shaolinwarrior87]

WHEN you break into someones home, you are asking to get shot

[FrankeeFraud]

Looking to rent the house? Of course, everyone shows up to inquire about a rental in the middle of the night, carrying a crowbar and wearing a ski mask. Makes the landlord feel secure, right?

[punkrockike]

why in the world would you rob a farmer. YOU KNOW THEY GOT A GUN!

[farerse]

@glock19x300 maybe he wanted to rent space for repairing snowmobiles ?

[gcrecon]

oh yeah when i go look at places to rent i always take my ski mask and crow bar. the monther is either very stupid or in complete denial.

[greenjeansmjr]

Well done, Mate!
