This is what happens when riff-raff from Antioch and Pittsburgh move into our town.

Do you even know what the word homicide means? A homeowner defending himself against a home invasion is something altogether different.

Ahmad Jun 23, 2017 - 8:00 am

Dan, this was a homicide. Depending on the outcome of the case, this can be ruled a justifiable homicide. There are various forms of homicide.

Steve Jun 22, 2017 - 9:01 pm

So was it a home owner taking care of business defending and protecting his or her family?
If so hurray for the good guys.
(Ill be surprised if this is posted)

No it’s a case of home invasion robbers picking the wrong house.

PT Barnum Jun 22, 2017 - 10:18 pm

Thanks to the city for making Brentwood one of the fastest growing and and out of control cities in the state.

Hope it was worth it.

The home invasion robbers did pick the wrong house. Random or targeted?

CS Jun 22, 2017 - 11:58 pm

Good job to the homeowner for protecting himself and his family! Oregon has Castle laws, every state should have them in my opinion.

Bill Paxton Jun 23, 2017 - 9:22 am

The article states it’s not random, the title states double homicide. It’s likely a grow house robbery gone bad.

Anitoch, Richmond, Oakland, riff raff. Whatever, call it what it is… those dam Danish people.

Realist Jun 23, 2017 - 10:53 am

The ? Is how did they know the home owner had a safe.

Death to thugs Jun 23, 2017 - 1:45 pm

Justifiable homicide! Found here at night? You’ll be found here in the morning!

Gar Buen Jun 23, 2017 - 5:38 pm

I love a happy ending

Dmitri Jun 23, 2017 - 9:04 pm

So many people in this world deal with chronic illness, get injured in accidents, and die with no fault of their own. These 2 guys chose to try to objectify someone who was unwilling, and got what they deserve. Mourn those who deserve it, otherwise just keep it moving and disregard death like roadkill.

Del Price Jun 23, 2017 - 9:45 pm

If we dont stop the criminal socalled law makers in Sacramento from making laws to weaken and disarming law abiding gun owners you wont be seeing the outcome you see on this case. Also criminals being let out of prison when they shouldn’t be are criminal acts by the same socalled law makers. Ca. gun laws only empower criminals and punish innocent citizen’s.

M.R. Jun 24, 2017 - 7:54 am

Three days later and they still have not notified next of kin? I call BS!

Nick Jun 24, 2017 - 9:15 am

They got what they deserved. Don’t want to be shot on sight – don’t commit home invasion. Justifiable homicide is correct.
