Lord Jesus we are not safe mo where anymore
If the law is not sufficiently clear, it MUST be changed, as a man, MUST be able to defend his home and property. We can only urge home owners to install cctv and survellence equiptment, as by the time the police arrive its too late.
So glad the man is stable. Hopefully the police catch this person soon, this is terrifying for the neighborhood.
Thankful the victim wasn’t more seriously hurt. Whoever did this should be caught quickly.
This is really frightening. If people aren’t even safe in their own homes, then something is seriously wrong. Praying for the victim’s recovery.
This is so infuriating. Protecting one’s self and one’s property is a right that my husband and I believe in and stand by and he love his cutlass real bad! Prayers for that gentleman who was hurt.
Some people are just so entitled, thinking people property belongs to them. I cannot stand you all
The government should get solar powered streetlight with camera combination out of china to replace all the streetlights to solve crime, and with the battery mounted at the top instead a APUA foolish mistake.
Is anyone safe? These people are targeting older residents who seem helpless. May they be protected by God. Who is safe in this place? Can people live in peace?
