Our story this morning comes from Oklahoma where a 70-year-old farmer gave chase to burglar;
On Tuesday morning, his home surveillance camera captured Erick Rose breaking into his home near McLoud. The farmer returned home as Rose was walking out with a stuffed pillowcase in hand.
“I hollered out to him. I said ‘Hey, fellow, what is going on here?’ I said, ‘You don’t want to do this.’ He told me, ‘Fella you better back off or I’m going to blow your head off.’”
Rose is seen on the video getting in his truck and gunning it out of the driveway. The farmer threw his gun in the passenger seat and gave chase.
“When he was pulled up at the stop sign he took a couple of shots out of the door and then he turned and he shot and he hit my pickup,” said the homeowner. The bullets were fired from his own stolen gun.
During the 15-minute chase, Rose spun his truck sideways and the farmer rammed into him.
“At that time I was able to get out of my truck and stand in the middle of the county road and I took a shot at him with my rifle,” said the 70-year-old.
Police took over from that point and when Rose’s car was disabled, he was courteous enough to exit his vehicle brandishing his firearm, providing deputies the chance to save taxpayers some money; bullets are cheaper than incarceration.
Awww.. Happy endings tend to bring a tear to my eye.
Fully reformed burglar.
“I love it when a plan comes together”
And the world is a more peaceful place, beginning now.
Hopefully this asshat was cleansed from the gene pool before he had the opportunity to pass his stoopid genes on to the next generation.
