I guess not an heir of the Hyatt hotel chain?

Did Mr. Hyatt have a weapon? Was he clothed? A guy got into trouble near me for shooting a naked guy who busted in his place.

Lack of vital signs was the optimum result from the perp.

Two positives here. He’ll never invade another home nor will the Kentucky taxpayer have to pay for his stay in the iron bar lodge.

Before we celebrate the death of a home-invading criminal, let us have kind thoughts for the poor guy who had to kill him to save his own life. He’ll live with that moment for the rest of HIS life even though it appears to be completely justified. And for the next few months he’ll be living with the legal aftermath of that simple action…hiring an attorney for his own defense in court since every homicide (even justifiable ones) will need an investigation and at a minimum a coroner’s hearing. Not being familiar with Kentucky’s laws I don’t know if there is a shield law preventing the criminal’s family from pursuing a civil suit, where the standards of “justice” are usually just “a preponderance of evidence” rather than “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

Let’s hope the homeowner comes through this well, with a minimum of psychological trauma or monetary impact, knowing that he was not at fault for anything, but rather brave enough to protect himself against an intruder.

An acute failure in the victim selection process.

There will be no recidivism.

Yes it really happens. Lethal violence is used to stop criminal activity. As it should be. By the law abiding or a police officer.

Ones goal in life should not be to become a statistic. I guess Danny didn’t realize that.
