Neighbor Stops Home Invasion - International Edition

Other neighbors were not helpful with their shouts to "shoot him." 'I put a gun on his face': Neighbor stops home invasion

He heard a commotion as this guy was trying to break into his neighbors' home.

In the struggle to keep Fortes out, the homeowners repeatedly slammed the door on his arm. He continued to try to force his way inside, court documents stated.

He checked to see if the guy was alone, and then he confronted the would-be home-invader.

Neighbors were what I can only describe as bloodthirsty.

When Manansala had his gun pointed at Fortes, the last thing he wanted to do was shoot him. But in the moment, Manansala was being bombarded by shouts and yells from neighbors urging him to pull the trigger.

Cops came and arrested him.

Are we shocked to learn that he had just gotten out of prison a few days before?

The man he stopped, Eric Fortes, was released from prison a few days earlier. He was serving time on a theft by receiving charge after he had been found driving a stolen vehicle in 2019. He had also been charged with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance in 2018, according to court documents.

And the gun owner who intervened has a few nice things to say about responsibility.

“People need to understand that every bullet that comes out of your barrel, you’re responsible for that. If you hit a bystander with that bullet, even though you’re trying to shoot someone else, you’re going to jail. You’re responsible for that,” Manansala said.

Alec Baldwin did not comment on that statement.

Self-defense is a human-right.
