Unload: Homeowners Open Fire On Invaders
Fed-up residents of major city put guns to good use

(Editor’s note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.) Videos linked or embedded may contain foul language and violence.
Is Detroit now America’s safest city?
It’s a thought.
In the last week, three different Detroit residents have used their guns to fire at home invaders. The toll after seven days: Two dead, one wounded, three arrested and a whole lot of people rethinking the idea that Detroit homeowners are soft targets for hardened criminals.
The latest case of lethal self-defense happened early Saturday morning.
“Two men broke into a home armed with a tire iron,” reported the ABC affiliate in Detroit.
“The intruders tried to knock out the homeowner, but the homeowner fired back with his gun. He shot them both and killed one of them, a 21-year-old man. The other man got away.”
Just a few hours before that, a home invader tried his luck with a woman pulling into her driveway.
“A man with a gun appeared out of nowhere. She dropped her keys on the ground as a distraction and then reached for her own gun and shot and killed him.”
The third case, about a week ago, was captured on video. Three black people stormed a home and found a mother inside with her children – and a rifle.
“I let them know I had a gun once they were in the house,” the mom told WXYZ-TV in Detroit. “They challenged me and said I don’t have a gun. That’s when I shot the first round.”
