Chief Tango sends us links to the story of Leonard Guerra who was just turning his life around when he found himself inside a house that was being renovated in San Bernardino, CA and for some reason was confronted by the homeowner who began screaming;
“The female victim began to scream for other family members to come help her, and Guerra grabbed her.”
The victim’s dad hustled to her aid.
“Guerra attempted to attack the father, at which time Guerra was shot once by the father,” Walker wrote.
See, that’s what fathers are for.
The Contra Costa Times says that Mr Guerra is in serious but stable condition at the local hospital, which is better than the homeowner or her father being in serious but stable condition.
Score one for the good guys!
My wife: “Why do you use the hostage targets at the range?”
Me: “Because i’m not confident you’ll duck.”
Wife: “….”
Note to the father: Double tap!!
As you hinted Jonn,
“But he was a young man just looking to turn his life around. A promising youth, smart, a potential Rhodes scholar.”

“just turning his life around”, Riiiiiight. He got what he deserved. I hope a long stint in jail will help him keep turning around (to see who his next “friend” is.
San Bernardino? Poster child for cities declaring bankruptcy. Look for Leo to have a short stint in the overcrowded system & then released due to budgetary factors…he’ll be back to the same old same old – maybe next time he takes a 124 grain in the noggin.
Chalk one up for the armed citizens and the good guys.
