Podunk local cops wasted more than half an hour assessing the Connecticut home invasion and setting up a vehicle perimeter -- time the two attackers used to strangle the mother in her living room and set the fire that claimed the lives of the two girls upstairs, according to shocking testimony today.
The revelation -- which suggests perhaps the family could have been saved but for police bungling -- came on day three of testimony in the murder trial of crack addict Steven Hayes, charged as one of the two monsters who launched a rein of rape and murder against a Cheshire, CT family on a Monday morning in July, 2007. Story continues...

The family could have saved themselves but for want of a 1911, Remington 870 or AR15.

Sad story, this is why although LEO prove to be some necessary part in our society they can not be depended upon to save you or your loved ones. Your best defense is for you to ready at all times.

Indeed, however those people who pretend to be journalists would not point that simple logic out. It fits their agenda to (rightly) expose police incompetence, meanwhile ignoring the obvious fact that YOU are the first responder in a violent attack. The police merely put you in a bag, collect evidence and attempt to bring the attacker to trial.

It would be interesting if you described just how you see the "LEO" as any necessary part of our society.

There may be a role for actual peace officers, but I see none for the LEO.

Which is exactly why I put this quote from Thomas Jefferson on my posts. One good weapon, or maybe a few would have turned this into a "True tales of self defense" Hope they fry both of the bastards that did this despicable deed. Hangin's too good for 'em. Aught to give them "Old Testament Justice" An eye for an eye,,,

Memorize:

  • Police have no legal duty to protect individuals.
  • Police have no legal liability when they fail to protect individuals.
  • Police have virtually no physical ability to protect individuals.

When your life is in danger RIGHT NOW, protect YOURSELF or don't get protected AT ALL. Anything else is just a LIE.

The coroner's number should be 811.

Well if he didn't say it originally he sure read it and would have said it himself. Now how about sticking to the topic at hand as opposed to wasting your, and my time dispelling my quote.

Just thought I'd put these three posts side-by-side and highlight their irony.

Moving on.
