Now if this pondscum lives, he'll have an abundance of bleeding-heart liberals to his rescue. This excuse of a human being will get an education in jail, therapy, counseling, free medical and dental care, and probably be put on all the federal govn't assistance programs upon release. A democrat, he'll become. The homeowner will be sued and lose his home. The end result will be a brand new "tax user" added to the democrat electorate. Have a nice day.

k33j88,
You are unfortunately right. I hate to criticize this hero homeowner, but next time make sure you kill the sc umbag. Either by shooting him again and again or initally using an adequate weapon...a 12 gauge with buckshot is perfect.
