After hearing a friend�s story of a home intrusion he thwarted only 2 miles from my home last week, I happened to run in to a town officer at Kwik Trip. I asked him, �Hey, what do you think the furthest distance you are ever from any given residence if we had to call 9-1-1? Like what�s the longest response time you think you�d have in this area?� In small towns like mine, spread over a large rural area, we only have the means to have two on-duty officers and they�re most often �on loan� from their various precincts and counties in the area. |

Dayton, OH: "22-year-old DeBrandon Jurrod Dickerson, who is from Detroit, and who has only been in the Dayton area for about a week"
"Ohio�s Castle Doctrine gives people the right to use lethal force to protect themselves or their home when threatened."
"Goldsmith said his sister installed metal bars in all the first-floor windows after her home was burglarized last month."
"He said the suspect could not get inside because of metal security bars.
The man then climbed a porch pillar to the roof and broke a window on the second floor"
"Goldsmith said his sister hid in the bathroom but opened fire when the intruder came toward her." |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. � Alexis de Tocqueville |
