What else was she supposed to do? I wish the gun-hating part of the Left would explain that some day. Woman fatally shoots home invader in Joliet, Illinois, police say - CBS Chicago
A woman was home with her baby when a man broke in. She armed herself and hid herself and her child in a closet.
Police said the man entered the bedroom and the victim fired a shot, hitting him in the head. The suspect, who is not known to the victim, was wearing gloves and in possession of a screwdriver at the time of the incident.
She is cooperating with the investigation, and while Illinois is a Blue State, Joliet, and Will County, are (or at least they were, when I lived in that county) distinctly more conservative than Chicago and Cook County. No charges have been filed.
Joliet is about a 45 mile drive southwest of downtown Chicago.
Self-defense is really becoming a thing in Illinois, to the dismay of many of the liberals in and around Chicago. I am still waiting for someone from the gun-hating part of the Left to tell me what this woman should have done, or anyone is a similar position? Remember, you don't know why this guy was there. Was he a burglar, or a rapist, or both? Imputing motivations is just proposing hypotheticals. And even if we eventually find out why he was there, what did she know in the moment? Are you going to condemn her for not being a mind reader? I would like the Left to explain all of this, but I'm not holding my breath.
Self-defense is a human right. (Hat tip to Breitbart.)
