NY man arrested for protecting his family


Is this justice to a gun grabbing liberal?

Ronald Dixon, a U.S. Navy veteran and computer analyst awoke to the noise of a burglar in his home. He confronted the burglar who was rifling through the drawers in the bedroom where his 18-month old son was sleeping. The burglar lunged at him, but Dixon was able to shoot the intruder twice with a 9mm Ruger.

Ivan Thompson, the 40 year old career burglar has 19 prior arrests and is currently on parole for a burglary conviction. Thompson is recuperating in the hospital from a sucking chest wound and a shot to the groin area. Meanwhile Dixon was arrested and charged with illegal possession of an unregistered handgun.

What do you want to bet that Dixon is prosecuted more vigorously than Thompson?

Probably the case. I don't like the odds.

Ugh....but, shooting someone in your child's room? What a chance to take!

The greater risk would be to not shoot him.
