Anti-2nd Amendment News Media Is Under-Reporting Horrific Connecticut Home Invasion
By Dave Gibson on Jul 29, 07

The case of a Connecticut family being robbed, beaten raped, murdered, and their home set ablaze presents a real-life horror story as well as a cautionary tale. However, the story has barely received a mention in the mainstream press. Apparently, the antics of the drunken s*** Lindsay Lohan are more important to American newsrooms than is the torturous death of an innocent family...But why?

School nurse Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, was raped and strangled to death, her two daughters Haley, 17, and Michaela, 11, were also sexually assaulted and died of smoke inhalation as their assailants attempted to burn the crime scene to the ground. The lone survivor of the attack, William Petit was badly beaten and remains in the hospital. The ordeal lasted for six hours.


Joshua Komisarjevsky, 26 and Steven Hayes, 44 were arrested for the brutal crimes after hitting several police cars in their attempt to escape in the Petit’s car. Both were on parole and have extensive rap sheets, including more than 20 burglaries between them.


These two human predators met last year while living in a drug treatment center in Hartford, Conn. The two have reportedly confessed to two other neighborhood break-ins the night before.


Though in 2002, a Bristol Superior Court Judge called Komisarjevsky “a cold calculating predator,” this beast was allowed to prowl the community once again. Presumably, he will now be dealt with harshly and never harm another family...Too bad for the Petit family that did not happen sooner.


The prosecutor in this case Ronald Dearstyne has eluded to the fact that Komisarjevsky and Hayes were only armed with a knife and an air rifle. The meaningless lives of these two could have been easily ended by any member of the Petit family, had they been able to place hands on a gun. This particular reign of terror would have been prevented, their crime spree brought to an end, and the deadly social experiment wrought by a Connecticut parole board cancelled.


Of course, the liberal press does not want to report on how truly violent predators now skulk about our neighborhoods, as they seek out a parasitic existence on the fruits of our labor. Nor do they wish to expose the deadly mistakes of liberal judges and incompetent parole boards. However, what the wish to stifle most of all is how easily crime can be prevented by a well-armed public.


Though in this politically correct society it is now taboo to speak of it, the best and easiest way to protect your family and home is with a firearm. In fact, an armed homeowner is the one thing that strikes fear in the hearts of violent criminals.


Home alarm systems can be disabled, locks can be picked, and dogs though ideal companions (much better than humans), can be very unreliable for protection. However, a determined and well-armed homeowner can end the life of a thug with a simple squeeze of a trigger.


It is the obligation of every law abiding citizen to arm themselves, so that they can protect themselves and their families. The police will never be able to arrive in time to prevent harm to your family...It is up to you.


My Dad began training me in the use of firearms at an early age (7 or 8). I was taught to protect myself and my home, as well as my responsibility with which I was now endowed.


It is the duty of every parent to arm themselves and teach their children how to properly use a firearm. It is your Constitutional right and your responsibility as a Mom or Dad.


The lack of coverage on the Connecticut home invasion speaks to the fact that liberals fear a well-armed public just as much as do the criminals.

I just hit Google News with the mother's name and returned 14 pages of hits. Hits include ABC, Forbes, the New York Times, UPI, Newsday, CNN, Boston Herald, Time, Fox, LA Times, NBC, CBS, hell Sports Illustrated is reporting on it.

At the end of the 14 pages of hits I get:

Just how much reporting do you require?
 
how much?

more then Britney Spears and Beckham!

Here in Reno I have not heard much, and nothing about how if the family had a gun available the outcome could be different.
 
In this particular case I'm not sure that having a firearm would have helped the family. Consider that at 3:00 a.m.:

- the doors to their house were unlocked,
- the ADT security system was not active, and
- they had no dog to bark at intruders and rouse the household.

The first indication they had that something was wrong was when the husband was rudely awakened by being beaten with a baseball bat. Maybe if the 17 yo daughter had a gun in her room things would have been different, but the adults in the house were caught asleep at the switch... literally.

My understanding was that the father was beaten after he confronted the intruders with the bat and it was taken away from him. Of course, that could be based on erroneous early reports.
 
I live in CT and the local news and papers have covered this story a lot. There was a local gun shop featured in the Hartford Courant along with the story. Went there last week to grab some reloading supplies and it was absolutely packed. They usually have a few hundred guns there....there was literally nothing good left.....I'm talking cleaned out.

Sheep are waking up eh? That is nice to hear.
 
It's a shame it took the destruction of this family to wake people up.
When the funerals are over and the news trucks leave most will slip back into their slumber. It will be relagated to "That's the house/vacent lot where that family was killed".
