Would-Be Burglar Stopped by Homeowner

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

A Lexington man is behind bars after police say he tried to break into the wrong home overnight.

A man says he was taking a shower early this morning at his home on West Fourth Street, when he heard something just outside his house.

He told police he went around to check it out, and saw a man trying to break in through a window. That's when the homeowner grabbed a gun and held the would-be burglar at gunpoint, while he called 9-1-1.

Police later caught up with and arrested Donovan Campbell. He's now in jail, charged with burglary.

That homeowner runs a business out of his home, and he says he was tired of being broken into, so he decided to put a stop to it.

4. You'd prefer that the man's home be robbed? NT

5. And you're cursing and stomping your feet over the fact he defended himself!

:rofl:

6. Are you wishing the innocent had been hurt?

7. Burglary thwarted, nobody injured, what's not to like?

Strikes me as a perfectly reasonable reaction.

So tell me, when one of the usual suspects posts some story of firearm misuse resulting in the injury or death of an innocent, thereby proving that Guns Are Evil, do you accuse them of getting off on it?

8. UMMM, she IS one of the usual suspects NT

9. The perp was lucky. He needs to reconsider his business model...

Or he'll probably end up a bullet trap.

10. Another innocent saved through the use of a firearm.
