Don't Bring a Hammer to a Gunfight

Self-defense in New Jersey? What is the world coming to? N.J. homeowner shoots, kills hammer-carrying burglar, cops say

The Bert Avenue resident got his gun when he noticed a man carrying a hammer was smashing his Ring camera and banging on his front door at about 10:25 p.m., the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office said Tuesday.

The homeowner shot Andray Ingram in the chest when Ingram reached the vestibule inside the home, authorities said.

While the homeowner was not charged, the "professional journalist" made sure to note that the investigation is not over, holding out hope for the Left that the homeowner will be charged for not relying on the state for his personal safety. Even though the state has no hope of actually providing it.

As bad as this article is, there are others that are much worse. One was lamenting the state of "gun violence" with no mention of hammer violence. That same article was worried about the relatives of Andray Ingram. No article I could find on this incident could give me any insight into Mr. Ingram, but some web searching turned up an article from 2016 about a 26-year-old Andray Ingram, from Trenton, New Jersey. Drugs, shooting, stabbing and more: April 4, 2016 Trentonian Police Blotter

Heroin and Crack: Andray Ingram, 26, was arrested Sunday night after police found him in possession of 12 decks of heroin and a small amount of crack cocaine. Police say officers encountered Ingram after they saw a vehicle stopped in the 600 block of Hamilton Avenue blocking traffic. Officials say Ingram does not have a driver’s license, so he was removed from the car and that’s when police found the drugs.

That 2nd article doesn't say what the charges were, or if there was a plea deal, or what the outcome of any court case might have been in 2016. It does include a mug shot of Andray Ingram. If you're wondering why none of the 2024 "professional journalists" would provide this info, I can tell you that it probably has to do with protecting a certain narrative. Click thru.
