Note To Self. . .

Things Not To Do:

Do NOT beat up the elderly.


From The Clarion-Ledger:

Joe Lee Brunner has been sentenced to a total 180 years in prison for beating and robbing an 82-year-old Jackson woman.

Brunner was found guilty Wednesday in a retrial of house burglary, aggravated assault, armed robbery andauto theft. A jury in Brunner's first trial in May deadlocked at 11-1.

Brunner, 23, of Jackson, has maintained that he did not commit the May 2006 attack on Lorea May.

Previous story.

There has been a spate of these home invasion, beating of the human, armed robbery type incidents lately. I fear I must remind our law-unabiding citizenry in Jackson that the Castle Doctrine is just like Colt .45, the beverage AND the gun, because "it works every time."
