A home invasion turned quickly into a trip to the hospital for a 29-year-old suspect, not yet identified by police, when he came face-to-face with a father whose protective instincts kicked right in.
The brash break-in happened Thursday just before 5:30 p.m. in broad daylight at a home along Cook Avenue and Auburn Boulevard in Citrus Heights.
Bobby Tucker was home with three of his children when he heard a loud commotion, what he now calls a robbery gone wrong.
I'd call it a robbery gone right.
ReplyDelete".............what he now calls a robbery gone wrong."
ReplyDeleteFTA: "Tucker fought the intruder until he was unresponsive."
Beg to differ on calling that a "robbery gone wrong." Sounds to me like everything went right. For the homeowner, anyway.
"Tucker fought the intruder until he was unresponsive."
ReplyDeleteNewspeak for "beat him unconscious".
Dead is also unresponsive..... and still votes Democrat.
DeleteKudos to the writer for that one. Made me LOL.
DeleteThank you for brightening my day!
ReplyDeleteThat’s a good dad!
ReplyDeleteI live in a rural setting and I have some doors on the house I've never locked. In the middle of a zoom meeting, one of my coworkers excused himself to quickly get the packages off his front porch that UPS had just delivered. Why anybody would want to live in "greater" Los Angeles is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteHow DARE you attack on of the democrats' finest!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of writing is this? “ As he watches his security video back over”…. Are there no senior editors left?

As the great Gunny would have said, "Looks like somebody chose the wrong house."
ReplyDeleteHomeowner said, "It makes you feel unsafe..." No, it SHOULD make you feel like you should have LOCKED THE FRONT DOOR, you moron. But I do like the unintended symmetry of the doorbell camera, the perp coming in, and then being wheeled out on a gurney. Like visual bookends.
ReplyDeleteI will lock the front door when I go to sleep at night. I will leave the front door unlocked when I am home during the day because:
Delete1) I am always armed
2) this is America, dammit; and the sooner 'we' realize it and take it back forcefully from the fuckers ruining it, the sooner we can be safe with unlocked doors.
Remember - the locked door is for THEIR protection
Great job dad, I know it can be inconvenient but lock your doors..... This could happen most anywhere these days

He should have been carted out by the coroner instead of paramedics.
ReplyDeleteSeen in a comic strip the other day- why is ‘broad daylight’ only used when describing criminal acts? Hmm…

DeleteHe held him at gunpoint AND beat him senseless!
ReplyDeleteBelt and suspenders, people.
And yet there are still women out there with fifteen kids, "don't need no man."
ReplyDeleteHappy endings are always wonderful.

Is it them again?
