We had another one just last week or so, that thought shooting home invaders, even if they are armed, was a crime and deserved prosecution. Because, well; "Is your flat screen worth a life?"

But it's a free country and if they choose to roll the dice and trust their lives and family to the tender mercies of home invaders, it's their choice.

But ... they don't get to choose for the rest of us and that's what really pisses them off.
