It seems to be catching on in that Blue State. Taft man shoots alleged burglar in his backyard: KCSO
KCSO said the homeowner confronted the alleged burglar — later identified by investigators as Felix Cortez Villasenor, 36 — in the backyard of his home.
According to officials, Villasenor allegedly charged at the homeowner while holding an unknown object and the homeowner shot Villasenor.
At the time the article was published, Mr. Villasenor was in intensive care in a Kern County hospital.
Taft, California is about 32 miles west-southwest of Bakersfield, or about 150 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
Even though the guy who got shot remained in the hospital he was booked into the county jail on "first-degree burglary and an outstanding misdemeanor warrant."
Cops don't make determinations about charges, but they did not arrest the homeowner.
Self-defense is a human right.
Oh look, a guy with an outstanding warrant committing more crimes. Wow, that's a surprise.
ReplyDeleteWatch as the squishies say this was a victimless crime since no one else got hurt. And the actual perp is the actual victim.
