I praise your testosterone.(unsure of the spelling). I wish I had that kind of protection in my neighborhood. K - You have to be able to understand and speak the language before you can learn right from wrong and in a lot of cases it wouldn't matter anyway.

Sean and don, I feel the same way. These 3 jerks deserve to be dead...it's that simple. IF they tried this on my home and family, I would try to make sure that came true...RIP ha,ha. NOW...I suspect they may have known the victims, knew they were not armed, or they were just passive personalities. Believe me, these cowards are not stupid. They ONLY intimidate and threaten those that they know or think can not or will not fight back. HELLO, that's why they are called COWARDS! Well, let's hope they think this and finally visit a home that is the sanctuary of individuals armed to the teeth...ha, ha! May God in heaven oversee their righteous passing into eternity. God bless the "Make My Day Law"!! Bob, it's unfortunate that folks have to leave their neighborhoods, bar their doors and windows, and hide in fear of the scuzballs. Force must be met with force...that's all these jerks understand and respect.

Don....I don't have cameras or an alarm system. However, I do have an Akita and a Blue Heeler that loves dark meat. If by chance someone gets by my dogs, I do have as backup, a real nice .40 caliber Beretta. And if by chance none of the above work, they will have to deal with my wife and believe me, that's one woman you do not want to mess with. Come into my house you pathetic excuse for a human being......I guarantee you will overstay your welcome and you will leave in a body bag!!!

I read about a team being put together to deal with illegals, and a team put together to address the problems with illegals at at the county jail. Why can't a program be implemented and a team put in place to address the issues of crime in general here in the Springs?

Please, once again, I beg for your kicking in my front door with intent to do harm.

Now there's three individuals that grew up with no morals or respect. I used to live in that neighborhood. I sold out back in 1985 just when all the vermin started to move in. I'm glad I made the right decision. That neighborhood is the armpit of Colorado Springs. HA!
