Sometimes in researchinig stories to share with TTAG’s audience you come across an old one that still makes you shake your head. Sometimes you come across an old one that makes you shake your head so much you just have to share it. After all these years, what this grandfather says, in spite of his obvious grief, is still a head scratcher. So here’s the story:
Years ago, Massad Ayoob once told me, “In a fight for your life, if it’s a fair fight, your tactics suck.” Like many of us, I’ve heard (and used) that same expression countless times. However, a grandfather in Oklahoma apparently thought it should be a fair fight between home invaders like his grandson and innocent homeowners.
Leroy Schumacher told media outlets that the homeowner’s use of an AR-15 gave him an “unfair advantage” against the gaggle of armed thugs who broke into his home. In the end, three of the thugs assumed room temperature.
Grandpa, using his impressive intellect and reasoning abilities told KTUL at the time that the shooting and killing of the armed home invader teens was “not needed.” From KTUL:
COOKSON, Okla., (KTUL) — A family member of one of the three teen suspects killed after breaking into a Wagoner County home Monday is speaking out for the first time.
The grandfather of Jacob Redfearn believes shooting and killing the 17-year-old and his friends was not needed.
Don’t you love it when the family members of violent criminals speak out to the media, trying to paint their misguided scholar kin as the true victims.
Grandpa Schumacher brought a big shovel to continue diggin’.
“What these three boys did was stupid,” said Leroy Schumacher.
Schumacher agrees his grandson and his friends made a bad decision, but not one worthy of deadly consequences.
“They knew they could be punished for it but they did not deserve to die,” said Schumacher.
Redfearn, 19-year old Maxwell Cook and 16-year old Jake Woodruff were shot by the homeowner’s son while breaking into the Wagoner County…
Schumacher says his grandson didn’t have a chance. The 17-year old, he says, never got into trouble.
“Brass knuckles against an AR-15, come on, who was afraid for their life,” Schumacher told the station at the time.
Those “boys” FAFO‘d – deep in the heart of gun-lovin’ Oklahoma of all places – and it didn’t work out well for them. And now, the intruder’s grandpa wants to change the law that allows homeowners to use deadly force in the face of a violent and tumultuous forced entry into their home by intruders or recommend which guns are acceptable to defend yourself with so what? The criminals have a chance.
“There’s got to be a limit to that law, I mean he shot all three of them; there was no need for that,” said Schumacher.
I AM NO LONGER BAFFLED WITH THE STUPIDITY of HUMANS. And that’s SAD.
HOME INVASION (4) teens, break in to an Elderly Home Owners house (to have Tea and Biscuits perhaps? I don’t think so). Home Owner’s Son uses his AR and shoots (3) dead! , The (4th) Brain Trust a dumba-- chick who planned the INVASION escaped
(to later turn herself in prolly to be SHOCKED w/ CHARGES of not only Burgulary but (3) counts of MURDER because ya see in OOOOOOH-Klahoma (‘Where the winds come sweeping down the plain!’) A Murder(s) involved in a crime is attached to the CRIMINAL! YES! In (135) YEARS she’ll get out! (45 x 3!)
The THREE ‘BOYS’ D.R.T ! (I LOVE THAT ACROYNYM!)
And NOT SO LITTLE Elizabeth Marie Rodge-a-weez gets da clink for Life!
Fitting end for a bunch of stupid kids.
My Advice kids: Next time don’t be in such a rush to get down here and cut the 'Brain-Line!)
Everyone should have an AR-15
Be trained up and be prepared to use it.
This will not be the last story on HOME INVASIONS.
Get the drop on the Invaders and end them all.
