HOUSTON -- A dad fought back to protect his home from thieves Thursday morning, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Francisco Rocha told authorities he grabbed his shotgun and chased two men out of his home on Atascocita Road near Alder Street at about 6:20 a.m.

Authorities told KPRC Local 2 that they do not recommend homeowners fighting back against intruders, but said they understood that he didn't have much of a choice.

"As a father to me, he was trying to protect his family and that's what he felt was the right thing to do at the time," Harris County Sheriff's Dept Sgt. Bryan Pair said.

One of the thieves was armed with a 9 mm handgun.

No shots were fired during the burglary.

The two men, along with a getaway driver, were all arrested at a nearby convenience store. Deputies charged them with aggravated robbery.

Deputies said all of the men are from Honduras. If convicted, the trio will serve time before being deported back to Honduras.


Don't fight back? This from Texas?

Ugh.

So what do the "authorities" expect the victim to do?

And will the "authorities" take up the financial burden of their advice?

Authorities are idiots:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

standard line

to appease the lawyers, the individual feelings of the "athorities" may not reflect the "offical" statements issued by the department.

Well, good for the fighting father. Here in the Seattle-Tacoma area, a single gunman was terrorizing people by breaking into homes and committing rapes. In some cases he somehow tied up multiple adults so he could start raping. In one household, 4 men allowed themselves to be tied and 2 women were raped. I asked myself just what kind of authority-obeying sheeple do we have here.

Good news, last weekend he did it again, and this time somebody got free and called cops while he was still doing the rapes. Police arrived, shots fired, rapist is in hospital and better damn well spend all his days behind bars.

So many households truly needed guns, media never mentions that, do they?

Authorities told KPRC Local 2 that they do not recommend homeowners fighting back against intruders...

Which doubtless explains why the "authorities" don't carry guns, right? What despicable hypocrites!
