Good for her for confronting him. Just be careful – and don’t confront anyone who’s already displayed a weapon. It’s not worth it. Call the police.

Haven’t things gotten worse lately regarding burglars/home invaders being willing to approach and attempt to break in regardless of whether people seem to be home or paying attention? They’re not really displaying any sense of caution at all, and seem to be so desperate (and most likely drugged) that they’re willing to take terrible chances. This sounds a lot more dangerous than ordinary bums cracking sheds open or doing a quick grab from an open garage. They’re armed and irrational.

No fear of being caught or of any consequences. If for some miracle they are caught they’ll be back out on the street within the week.

When you have no responsibility, no obligation, your roof and food are free, and no mentors or parenting you have this result. It is so sad our youth have been allowed this direction by government and society.
