Home Invasions

I don't mean to sound cold or callous here, but I don't think these acts of violence are random. Why would a criminal take a chance, on someone he doesn't know anything about, blowing their brains out over a possible stash? These aren't crimes of opportunity. They seem to be planned.What if you broke in someone's home and they greeted you with a gun? Many homeowners are ready, willing,and able to protect themselves. Most of my friends are ready, in and out of the house. To the best of their ability anyway. The average homeowner doesn't keep large amounts of cash in their home either. I know I don't, do you? If you invaded my home and committed that crime. You would have to go to a bank or somewhere with cameras, and commit another. I can't see even a criminal taking chances like that. There is usually at least a couple of perpetrators involved. Is $200 worth invading some one's home? I think this is something preplanned. At least a case of "the chickens coming home to roost", to use a famous MalcomnX quote. These crooks have been to the houses before. That or they are familiar with the contents. This to me is proof there is no honor among thieves. Someone banging on the door, could be a robber or the police.

It started back with the incident involving the New Orleans rapper Turk. Who has since been found guilty. He was in an apartment, that was raided by the DEA. He shot at the police because he thought he was being robbed. It turned out to be a criminal investigation. When it comes to the police, ignorance isn't an excuse. If you shoot at them, they're going to throw the book at you. For heavens sake don't kill one. You're going to get the death penalty. If someone is trying to enter your house uninvited. You wouldn't tell them to come around back. Most people would call 911 or start shooting. Unless they didn't want the police there.I would like to know the rate at which these type crimes are solved. After the initial story, we never hear about them anymore. I don't think a tremendous amount of police resources, are dedicated to these crimes. I would imagine after closer inspection. Many of these unfortunate victims, are of questionable character.

I feel sorry for the latest witness, she is only 10 yrs. old. The poor child is too upset, or indoctrinated to secrecy to identify or give a description of the crime. Even though she was an eyewitness to it happening. The other eyewitness jumped out the window and ran. They haven't found him yet. Since when did we have to find witnesses? Could it be that what we are calling home invasions, are simply calculated robberies?
