The following is what takes place when a local creeper attempts a home invasion on a veteran of the 82nd Airborne. This guy was in my house earlier this week in the middle of the night on Veteran's Day. My neighbor saw him and when we checked the security cameras sure enough, there he was.That night somehow my door was unlocked he actually made it inside (to get high) all night where it is warm I presume. Then left in the morning. In the area of my home he was in I keep some very expensive camera gear for my business. I had a feeling that now that this guy knew that stuff was down there that he would be back.I installed motion sensors and door chimes immediately and sat on edge... it only took 2 days for him to return but this time after finding the bottom door locked, he just made his way around my house to attempt to gain entry upstairs (where my GF and dog are). Once I told him he wasn't coming in, and wasn't leaving till he talked to the police he struggled to get away and tried a huge haymaker on the porch and ate an uppercut for his troubles.(off camera) He was just about "out" on the porch but I realized I wanted anything that happened to be on camera so I drug him down the stairs. The rest can be seen on camera...Kudos to the Seattle police as they were here instantly and treated everyone involved with what seemed like "protection" and "service" - not a huge fan of cops but these guys were GREAT! The police report states: "assailant attempted an assault to break free. He lost."(more to follow)(EDIT)The local news just left after doing a full story apparently, So I will update with that when the time comes. For the record, I saw this guy on camera 2 nights before so I felt like I could be confident in a tussle with him if needed. I absolutely ran RIGHT past my AR to go outside and confront this dude. I never intended to hurt him but he would rather hurt me then wait on the cops to arrive so he got what he got. For everyone saying "you should have shot him", I would consider shooting someone in a liberal state like Washington to be FAR MORE high risk then tussling with a druggy. You will notice when we went to the ground I did not try and hurt him I just wanted to keep my knees in his armpits so he couldn't reach for his waistline. Once it became an honest struggle (with him getting an arm free) the left elbow came. Notice his leg shot straight out after the elbow. I could have "rained" elbows from the start and chose not to for all the people calling for more restraint.(EDIT)also,It's so funny how everyone points out how overly risky, overly bravado, and overly confident I was. That is why I included the paratrooper bit in the title. Nothing about jumping out of a plane to get to combat faster implies forethought or prudence of thought. Paratroopers are all about bravado over brains, it's in our genes so save your insults and try to keep up.(EDIT) For idiots like vampire... I know it is your "shtick" to pretend to misunderstand things that are ever so clear just so you can make your whiny little troll comments, but I will "re-tell" you anyway. This is not an assault on a guy looking for a place to sleep. He broke into my house before and fell asleep...(that night he was just looking to sleep - at 3:30am) He woke up in the morning to me moving around upstairs and left with it still light out. On the way out he passed all my camera gear for my business but couldn't take anything because we were home and moving around upstairs. He was casing the place as he was leaving on the camera after the first visit. THAT is why I knew he would return... He ONLY returned to finish stealing what he found in the first morning. The reason he goes to the front door was to knock, if no one answered he was kicking in the basement door and rolling out to squat somewhere else with my gear. He was high the other night WHEN he showed up to chill, but still very sober looking (comparatively) this night looking for his score still. He wasn't here for the same reason he was here for when he came at 3:30 am looking to sleep. My actions saved him from being shot by one of you crazy bastards at some point...(or even my trigger happy GF). No matter how you sliced it I risked my ass to save his life bro... I could have hid in the basement with my hole puncher and waited for him. Keep being a weak little sucker and hating tho,More.. it's your "THING"
