Another article showing a person in self defense!

A nurse was attacked in her home by an armed intruder with a hammer, and she killed him by choking him out...

Dude should've tapped

I read this line:

Haffey, about 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, had convictions including conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, robbery, drug charges and possession of burglary tools. Neighbors said Kuhnhausen's size -- 5-foot-7 and 260 pounds -- may have given her an advantage.

And I said aloud... "you think?"

She was in her rights to be sure...I catch somebody that I don't know in my house with a hammer in their hands I'm gonna use whatever force necessary to make sure they're not going to hurt me... if that includes necessary deadly force then so be it.

Sounds like a reasonable outcome to me - more power to her!

Good for her.

In the skill vs. size debate.

Quantity has a quality all its own.

Cheers to the Lady

Ya think? Good for her to be clear-minded enough to take on an intruder by herself.

Kudos to the lady.

I do hope that there will be minimal fallout from this, though. Remember, deceased criminals often times have family members (that didn't give a fig about them before the incident) who are going to be lawsuit happy.

God bless her...now let's hope some ******* DA doesn't decide to prosecute HER because she used excessive force!

Update:

The guy who attempted to attack the nurse wasn't a burglar. He was a "murderer for hire" comissioned by the nurse's husband to kill her. They were undergoing a divorce....
