Kentucky is not a good place to be a bad guy. Hopkins County homeowner shoots suspect during alleged home invasion
And though the article says "Hopkins County, Indiana" there is no such place. (In an earlier article they got it right.) This took place in Hopkins County, Kentucky, which is about 100 miles southwest of Louisville.
The Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office says deputies received a call about a home invasion in progress on Friday. Investigators say the homeowner got a firearm and shot the suspect after the person allegedly forced entry into the home.
Police didn't have much to say, they didn't even have a condition on the guy who got shot, so the media had to search out neighbors for their reactoins.
They stopped just short of "neighbors were shocked" statements, but they are still convinced that they live on the Magic Dirt™ where crime doesn't happen. There is a bit of cope around this being an "isolated incident." Because crime happens in "other kinds of places" to "other kinds of people." Or something.
No. If you can read these words, you live in the real world, and you are not protected by your zip code.
