Violent Crime Can Happen Anywhere

My wife's parents live in this community, houses away from what took place. The Sarah Bradys of the world won't tell you this, but violent crime can happen even in gated communities, to nice people that wouldn't hurt a fly and just wanted to live quietly in their home.

Looks like a burglary gone bad to me. Sickening. If they catch the perpetrators, I hope they hang.

There is a lesson to be learned here. YOU are responsible for your own safety. If you call 911 and the police don't come, you can't sue them, courts have ruled. Castle Rock v. Gonzales is the latest Supreme Court decision on this topic, summary here. Get firearms training and give yourself a fighting chance.
