TSO and Mr Wolf both sent a link to the story of Earl Jones, the 92-year-old veteran<\/a> who was just heading off to bed when he heard a “bang” in his basement. Earl grabbed his .22-caliber rifle and confronted the three men he found on his basement steps;<\/p>\n

Some 15 minutes later, when he heard footsteps moving closer up the stairs, he raised the rifle to his eye. The intruder kicked open the door. Jones fixed his aim on the center of the man\u2019s chest and fired a single shot. The Boone County Sheriff later announced the death of the intruder, Lloyd (Adam) Maxwell, 24, of Richmond, Ky.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese people aren\u2019t worth any more to me than a groundhog,\u201d Jones told the Enquirer. \u201cThey have our country in havoc. We got so many damned crooked people walking around today.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, Jones laid Maxwell low and Maxwell’s accomplices were rounded up in short order when they tried to make up a story and get Maxwell some medical treatment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maxwell fled the scene with the two other men allegedly involved in the robbery. The two men took their injured friend to a 2001 Chevrolet Impala on Courtney Road and called police. The pair fabricated a story about the man’s injury to try and get Maxwell medical attention, Scheben said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jones told 9 News he got the gun from Walmart for $500. He said this incident should send a message to would-be robbers.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been robbed so much in the past five weeks, I said it’s going to have to be a message to the people. The only way you going to stop this is you [going to] have to leave one laying in the grass. That’s the only way you’re [going to] stop it,” Jones said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think he overpaid for the .22, but there is iron in his words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
