There should be some automatic appeals in 90 and 180 days and then Old Sparky (or Old Gassy) in about a year. If there is a purpose for government, it is to punish those who violate life, liberty, and property of others.

Sadly, we have a situation where the government agressively intrudes in what it should NOT be doing (managing the lives and stealing the property of law abiding citizens) and often fails to do what it SHOULD be doing.

The invaders need killing and the soooner the better. We are indeed responsible for our own and our family’s defense. It’s a world full of predators who look at the rest of us as dinner to be eaten. These predators will rape, rob and murder people and 30 minutes later won’t even remember what their victims looked like. I don’t know where the father was during all this. Evidently he was neutralized by the attackers but I wonder how they got him in his sleep when his dog was probably barking and he was able to get his gun from the table by his bed. What’s that you say? He didn’t have a barking dog? He didn’t have a gun? Oh I forgot. This wasn’t the South where most men would be able to make themselves heard from. This was Connecticut where men are civilized and unarmed. What a crock. I hope I’m wrong about the father, but who knows?
