A robber near El Reno, Oklahoma, targeted the wrong home to attack. Instead of weakly cowering like an impotent Mom’s Demand Attention supporters, Cathy Kouba took action, flanked the surprised burglar by looping around the house, and then unloaded on him:
Cathy Kouba’s home security system alarm jolted her awake Thursday night. She said she realized someone was trying to kick in her back door.
“I have a daughter that’s handicapped and she was asleep on the bottom floor,” Kouba said. “And so for the fear of her being hurt, motherly instincts kick in and, you know, I worked hard for what I’ve got. And you’re not going to come and take it away from me.”
Kouba said she grabbed the gun her son gave her for Mother’s Day and ran out the front door to confront the intruder out back.

Hhmm, Are ye getting soft Mr. Brock? Almost like your feeling sorry for the perp...
ReplyDeleteI kid you immensely... A fine shot gun for Mother's day, what excellent, thoughtful gift any son could give his mother to show her his love! Oh, and I do hope the po-po finds the intruder and while bringing him and process him laugh and ridicule him to no end.

She'll probably be charged with assault and . . . . "battery" :P

That's a fine son. Good job, boy.
ReplyDeleteYes, Sir!
DeleteOhh boy - I just read this "Kouba said she fired and thinks she hit him in his backside."
ReplyDeleteI'll put money down that SOMEONE gets a hold of this thug and presses charges and sues. He was running away? That's a dinner bell for lawyers...
You may be right and it was mentioned.
Deleten many jurisdictions shooting a fleeing criminal is considered assault with a deadly weapon and so firing at a fleeing suspect is not encouraged, but the authorities here seem to show very little interest in charging Kouba. The simple fact of the matter is that the odds of a successful prosecution of the mother of a special needs child defending her home is between slim and none, and the prosecutor knows it.
