Random Nuclear Strikes

Here.

Four points:

1) That’s a well-cared-for smaller home with nice furnishings. Looks like a nicely-kept starter home to me. From my conversations with cops, most criminals’ homes are not nearly this tidy.

Could this be your house, dear reader? I think it could.

2) Look at the photo showing the deputy’s position in the door and a deputy standing at Guerena’s position in the hall. Maybe 15 yards at most. Seems that Guerena is plainly visible, even with the light source coming from the open door.

I am suddenly very grateful my house does not have an interior hallway lined up with the front door in which I might be the focus of an amped officer’s tunnel vision.

3) Look at the huge number of bullet holes in the wall. Look at the corresponding holes in the master bedroom on the other side.

Even had he not had his whole body in the hallway, Guerena had no cover of any sort. We all know this, but the graphic depiction of applied government power is sobering, to say the least.

4) If Guerena’s blood-spattered AR is any indication, he was an ARFCommer.

What might have saved Guerena’s life? An armor-plated barrier door in the hallway or at the entrance to his master bedroom, and the ability to communicate with people on the other side of it. Nothing less.

EDITED TO ADD: a fifth point. 5) Jose Guerena was targeted because his relatives had criminal records and were suspects in criminal activity, and he owned firearms and body armor that could have been used in that activity.

Well, I, too, have relatives with criminal records, own far more firearms than he did, and if you count my $35 surplus German flak jackets, I have more body armor than he did as well. How many of you can say the same?
