Don't Bring a Knife to a Gunfight

Also, people need to come to terms with the sentence, "It's over!" California homeowner shoots, kills intruder later revealed as wife's ex-boyfriend | FOX 11 Los Angeles

Even the media in Deep Blue Los Angeles noted that this intruder was known to the people in the home, or at least one person in the home. People you know can be a threat, and this is one of the canonical examples: an ex-boyfriend turned stalker.

What we know: Officials with the Simi Valley Police Department said they received a shots fired call from a neighborhood at 12:50 a.m. Wednesday, June 18.

Six minutes later, they received another call from a homeowner stating they had shot an intruder following a confrontation.

The guy who got shot was declared dead at a local hospital.

The couple had multiple issues with the suspect at the home and the woman had a temporary restraining order against her ex in the past.

In Texas, or Oklahoma, the authorities would be saying this is clearly self-defense. In Florida the local sheriff would issue a statement about how it is a good thing that the law abiding are able to defend themselves and their families from bad guys.

But this took place in California, so the authorities will see if there is some way to charge the guy who was forced to defend himself from an armed intruder with a crime. Why? Because you can't allow individual action and individual responsibility to take hold in a Liberal enclave like Simi Valley.

Simi Valley, California is about 12 miles north of Malibu, about 11 miles southwest of Santa Clarita, and about a 40 mile drive from downtown Los Angeles.

But whatever the authorities in California may decide, self-defense is a human right.
