The original news story said she was accosted in the driveway. I'm not certain how that makes the perpetrators "home invaders?"

Since when is the press worried about a minor detail like facts?

Good work by the retired LEO, too bad he didn't get them both.

Popular language inflation.

I was reading one "home invasion" story where the string of robberies were clearly B&Es -- not home invasions.

Two men. One knock on the front door to see if anyone was home. Then called the other (cell phone or radio??) in the back who broke in, while the first keep a lookout in front.

These type of stories make me proud to be an American.

I wonder how many people Mr. Menese had robbed before he ****** with the wrong guy?
