    Father Fights Burglary Suspects To Keep Family Safe

    http://www.click2houston.com/news/5302841/detail.html
    Authorities Arrest 3 Honduran Men At Nearby Convenience Store

    HOUSTON -- A dad fought back to protect his home from thieves Thursday morning, KPRC Local 2 reported.

    Francisco Rocha told authorities he grabbed his shotgun and chased two men out of his home on Atascocita Road near Alder Street at about 6:20 a.m.

    Authorities told KPRC Local 2 that they do not recommend homeowners fighting back against intruders, but said they understood that he didn't have much of a choice.

    "As a father to me, he was trying to protect his family and that's what he felt was the right thing to do at the time," Harris County Sheriff's Dept Sgt. Bryan Pair said.

    One of the thieves was armed with a 9 mm handgun.

    No shots were fired during the burglary.

    The two men, along with a getaway driver, were all arrested at a nearby convenience store. Deputies charged them with aggravated robbery.

    Deputies said all of the men are from Honduras. If convicted, the trio will serve time before being deported back to Honduras.

    Investigators told KPRC Local 2 that they are trying to determine if the suspects are linked to any other crimes.

    Local authorities in Houston advised the man not to fight back? In Texas we can legally shoot intruders.

    I guess the authorities want to send the message to home invaders that sheeple will not resist.

    I don't think that is the message that needs to be sent. Someone enters your home with a weapon where you and your family are... that should be the last thing they ever do and the last wrong decision they ever make.

    Well the way I look at this. If he hadn't fought back. Then no telling what would of happen. What are these people thinking. If a person breaks into your house. Chances are there there to do harm.

    Yes, harm of some sort. They're certainly not there to admire the decor.

    Maybe they were there to redecorate?

    Any homeowner has the right to defend their family to home invaders.
