Cowering or reversing through your house you'd have a reasonable chance of hitting something.

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

Then he should have had a shotgun.

Shoot her I the leg then let her choose to wait for the ambulance. If she does oh well.
Not bend her over the sofa and do her Gotti styles.

Old fella gets jumped and attacked. He is dropped to the floor and assaulted. He gets his hands on a weapon and starts to defend himself. Who knows what was going through his mind. The male "got away" but for all he knows the male is close and about to attack again, this time armed. So can he defend himself against 2?

Lets not forget he is the victim.

I did read ages ago about police shootings, police were trained to shoot once/twice. But most emptied the weapon at the target in real life. Its how we react under extreme threat.

police are the last (people?) who should have firearms.

The wording of the article intimates he had plenty of time to make a decision and he seems pretty pleased (based on his quotes) that he made the decision to end her life... the way that the article is worded that is...
Fuck, someone was in my house they would get the opportunity to put the hands behind their head and cross their legs if hey had the time to have beg for their life... if they had not had the time to beg because I had reacted faster than them they would get shot. As many times as it took for them to stop moving. If they started moving again they might just get shot again...

First shot or two, center body mass so the police know who they are looking for.
Oh, it's looking like I might survive depending on the range and the level of danger two more to center body or the head.
Repeat.

They have already started begging and one has got away?
This means I have her point blank: Shoot the bitch so she can't run and if she does police will find her, if it was a proper kicking in the kneecap.
Knowing you have an unborn fetus, the other offender is coming back sooner or later, or at least the daddy is. You need a live hostage if you're thinking.

You seem to think he had time to think this through. He was under attack. He reacted. You are thinking of it as a man in his forty's, not as an eighty year old who is fighting for his life.

Correct - we retirees will cling to life as hard as we can. Fuck the young ones coming to take our posessions and break our fragile bones...
If he'd only put one slug into her she could still have beaten him badly with whatever was handy. Look at the girls a couple of years ago - teenagers who beat an OAP to death in his bed - in the BOP I think ?

That's some pretty hard core stuff from the old fella.
I think as the population ages we will have a few more of these Bruce emery type moments where people who've had enough react a bit more than they perhaps should.

Another thing to consider I'd if your armed and don't use the weapon you risk the offender taking it off you, the police in USA have a 21 ft guideline for this...

Anyone watch the other vid after, guy robs bank with walking frame!!!

If they'd been taught not to steal other kids lunches, or even taught not to shoplift, or perhaps not to boost cars...

Then maybe some old bastard wouldn't have to kill them for being unfit to live in a civilised world.

Old fellas is really all you've got left to teach that lesson, not many others know the syllabus.

About it,all could have been avoided with a few kicks up the arse and the odd thick ear.

Nope. I seem to think the article implies he had time to rationalise a decision he is still proud of.

I don't think he did anything.
I don't think he was in the wrong.
I don't think he was in the right.

I think the article does not provide enough facts to support his actions. Hence my initial statement.
I then proposed a couple of hypothesis.
I think if the slant of the article is accurate is is a psychopath.
If he is bullshitting about the pleas for mercy he did the right thing.

He claims he was begged for mercy and showed none.
