14 year old girl foils a home invasion by a career criminal with over 100 arraignments!


No Fear!

Cool under pressure, quick thinking and brave…. also fortunate the criminal ran instead of attacking. Calling 911 then staying upstairs barricaded in a room would have been a better course of action in most situations.

No way to tell on the better action. Having the police come and corner the perp in the house gets ugly. “No good has ever come from being taken hostage”.

Reporter said he had over 100 arraignments??

Seems hard to do but must be a habitual offender that should be taken out of circulation.

Someone should send the girl a free OA membership.

I know I would not want my 14 year old daughter to confront a male burglar with only a knife for defense. I think she would be substantially safer locked in her room, with whatever was available piled in front of the door and on the phone with 911. If all else fails she still has the knife. Kinda of a Sophie's Choice and I am not trying to diminish this young lady's bravery.
