Attempted burglar shot to death

(WHAS11)-It was a deadly Christmas night outside of Louisville.

Kentucky State Police say a suspected burglar was shot to death in Adair County.

Police say 35 year old Bobby Bunch was trying to break into a residence on Cane Valley road, when he was shot to death. Police have not said who pulled the trigger.

No arrests have been made.

1. The bad guys never take a holiday, do they?

[sharesunited]

2. Just adopt the death penalty for burglary and be done with it.

Why fart around?

3. Do you really not see the difference between self-defense and the death-penalty?

By the act of breaking into an occupied residence the burglar puts the resident in realistic fear for his life. So the resident chooses to defend himself instead of trusting to the tender mercies of a violent felon. If the burglar dies then the fault is the burglar's for creating the situation.

What self defense measures would you allow a resident to take if they see someone breaking into their home? You never have answered that question, although it has been asked of you many times.

4. Ahh, more hyperbole and inflammatory rhetoric from sharesunited. How expected you are.

5. Is an armed gunman stalking me?

[rd_kent]

6. Nope.

But there is pro-2A advocate ensuring that bullshit posts are called for what they are.


I post in this forum nearly every day, with facts! You should try it.

7. False equivalence

using lethal force to stop a person in your home who has less than pure intentions and is possibly armed is not the same as executing someone who is in handcuffs and is not an immediate threat.

Like saying if it is acceptable to shove someone out of the way of a moving car then logically it must be acceptable to shove someone for any reason.

13. Well said.(nt)

9. Or we could take the sharesunited way:

Helping the felon load your possessions into his vehicle and then giving him a nice back-rub.

[rd_kent]

11. A back rub! That is over the top!

I will help him load my stuff, but I will not give him a back rub.

12. Looks like we already have.

8. That's 2 this week in or near Louisville Metro.

Crooks just don't seen to learn, do they?

[one-eyed fat man]

14. Adair county is in south central KY

It's a long way from Louisville Metro. Musta been a slow news day for WHAS

[GreenStormCloud]

15. Sorry for the confusion. I listed it as Louisville because I figured that ...

would be the closest big city that folks would know. Hardly anybody knows where Adair county, KY, is.

[taurus145]

16. Yup. Brain fart.

And I only live 45 miles from downtown Louisville. For some reason I put Adair County in Oldham County's spot on the map. Go figure.

Getting old is a bitch.

17. Getting old usually beats the alternative. N/T

18. I prefer the green side, too. n/t
