Is anyone else finding this story a little strange? Not someone finally shooting fake-ICE people. But:
Fake-ICE is wearing bulletproof vests and shoots at the homeowner through the door. The homeowner isn't injured. Fine.
The homeowner returns fire, through the door, hits and kills the two guys wearing bulletproof vests. Doesn't that strike anyone else as odd? Both dead, neither injured, despite bulletproof vests, despite being shot through a door?
Homeowner probably has a peep hole, in addition to the ring camera giving him locational knowledge of where the purps were outside the door. They could only guess where he was.
Vests cover vital organs, but there's a lot of other places you can be shot and killed.
Bulletproof vests are also only rated for certain calibers too, mostly of what you'd think of as a bulletproof vest will only stop pistol calibers. Sure, you can get stuff that'll stop rifle shots, but then you're looking at wearing multiple 5-10 lb metal plates and spending quite a bit of money to get them.
How many vests cover the face? You can also shrapnel their groin area, and they bleed out before any ambulance will be there.
One of the reasons why I picked a shotgun and use 000 buckshot is because of the spread. I assume my aim sucks, and hope that hitting the bad guys in a unarmored limb will be enough to remove them from a fight.
Doesnt seem odd at all. Maybe he had a rifle or a combat shotgun and they had pistols. Or maybe he found cover and they didnt.
There's different types of vest, and they're rated to stop different types of bullet.
If these guys are just pretending to be cops, they may well have just grabbed the cheapest vests they could find that looked convincing.
And a rifle round could have just punched straight on through a vest only rated for pistol rounds.
Also most vests don't cover the neck or sides of the body. Or the big arteries in the legs.
KHOU 11's Michelle Choi spoke with a neighbor, who said they heard a total of 22 gunshots.
The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.
Bullet proof vests and fake badges? Wasn't a robbery but a st Valentine's Day massacre style hit job.
Good start.
Fuck home invaders. Glad the homeowner had the tools to defend himself!
