Florida Manatee County Sheriff Rick Wells praised a homeowner for shooting and killing a masked intruder. An accomplice escaped but later was apprehended. It appears both were illegal immigrants. The sheriff said if you break into a home in his County you better expect to be shot. Can you imagine if this would have happened in New York?

The right attitude for the sheriff to have as far as I'm concerned.

That same sheriff previously offered to pay for shooting lessons for a homeowner who shot, but didn't kill a criminal running from a police chase, who entered their home. Dead criminals make the world a better place. We need a very liberal death penalty. That's about the only liberal thing we need.

dead criminals reduce repeat offenders by 100%. Great cop to have in your area.

All sheriffs should have that attitude.

Yes they should.

I think that most of them in Missouri do.

I'm not convinced. The attitude seems to be a little cavalier. Any time a life is lost there really needs to be an investigation, then the celebration.

I am reminded of a local incident where two kids were killed. The owner didn't report it right away because it was thanksgiving, or some other holiday. It can get pretty fishy.

That rich guy that shot the CEO of that health care company, he is going to cost us a lot of tax dollars for many years. And I saw someplace that the Boston Bomber is still alive???? and the guy from the Oklahoma bombing from years ago too......WHY what do we owe them?.......jk
