18 Year-Old Mother Kills Intruder

A gripping story of self-defense.

McKinley said she asked the dispatcher, "I've got two guns in my hand -- is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door? I'm here by myself with my infant baby, can I please get a dispatcher out here immediately?"

"I can't tell you that you can do that but you do what you have to do to protect your baby," the dispatcher said.

The 911 conversation lasted for 21 minutes. Then the door gave in.

"I waited till he got in the door. They said I couldn't shoot him until he was inside the house. So I waited until he got in the door and then I shot him," McKinley told KFOR.

The MMA Zone posts it's 3 Most Impressive Fighters of 2011. Do you agree with their selections? I'm most impressed by Jon Jones, but then, probably everyone is. Comments?

Where to begin

How about at the beginning?

1. Some of you may have noticed my absence from posting. Loooong story, but let me summarize by saying that my company was sold, and the entire sales force was laid off, including me, and I'm busy looking for a suitable replacement, and have some good prospects.
2. No more social media for me. I'm not on Facebook, Google+, or Twitter. I don't need the distraction, and have other reasons, but suffice it to say, I appreciate everyone who followed or subscribed that way, and hope you'll stay here as well.
3. I will be posting more, but they may be snippets and excepts with comment. To me, that's better than nothing at all, and it will fit the time available to me. I hope you don't mind.
4. Thanks for everything, and here's to a great 2012 for all of us!

Seen these? PoliceOne Top 5 Videos of Vehicle Incidents for 2011

These are worth heading over to PoliceOne to watch.

2011 in Review: Top 5 videos of vehicle incidents:

By PoliceOne Staff Some truly bizarre incidents can take place in vehicles, as the case of the Ohio woman who sprayed deputies with breast milk in June demonstrates — glaringly. Other clips show an officer struck by a stolen car get up and chase the driver, a suspect escape out the window of a patrol car, and a nice PIT maneuver.

Movie Review: The Warriors Way

I just watched The Warrior’s Way on Netflix while stretching, and was pleasantly surprised. Their plot description didn’t really lead me to think it would be any good.

“Fugitive Asian assassin Yang journeys from the Far East to the Wild West, where he holes up in a tiny town in the American badlands. There, he meets local drunk and ex-fighter Ron, as well as a beautiful circus knife thrower with a dark secret.”

So you have an “Asian assassin” in the old west? Throw in Kate Bosworth? What could go wrong? Six-guns and swords? I decided to queue it up, but kept my thumb on the trigger (remote) so I could quickly move on.

My summary review:

Not a great story, but beautiful cinematography in a Kill Bill-style bloodbath flick with less gore. A blend of Japanese mythology and comic book spectacle with Matrix effects mixed in in a Wild West setting. Typical revenge story mixed in for good measure.

Good mindless entertainment.

Check out the trailer:
