Charlotte’s finest have some advice for homeowners who
encounter a robber.
Police say the answer is clear -- you should never fight back.
Their biggest piece of advice -- DO NOT RESIST!
Here are other ways to protect yourself:
-- Try to stay calm: Don't make any
sudden movements to upset the robber.
-- Tell the robber about anything that
might surprise him for example, someone is on their way home.
-- If you have to move or reach, tell
the robber what you're doing.
-- And of course, try to get a good look
at the robber so you can describe them later.
For Pete’s sake don’t upset the robber. You may hurt his feelings! Here is what a reasonable person does:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A resident defending his property shot an
attempted breaking and entering suspect, ultimately leading to his arrest
Wednesday evening.
Around 3:30 Wednesday, police say a
resident came home to his residence in the 8300 block of Merryvale Lane to find
two subjects inside his home. During the confrontation, police say the resident
fired shots at the suspects. One of the suspects fled on foot, while the other
fled in a vehicle.
A short time later, CMPD received word
of an accident at the intersection of Sam Wilson and Old Dowd Roads; there they
found a vehicle stopped in the middle of the road with the driver suffering a
life threatening gunshot wound. The driver was taken to CMC Main by Medic.
So the homeowner was arrested for protecting himself
and his property, while no charges have yet been filed on the two
perpetrators. That sounds about right in
the Age of Obama.
