FERRY PASS, Fla., – A 72-year-old man shot two teenagers who allegedly beat him with a baseball bat during a home-invasion robbery.

Crawford said he grabbed his handgun as a precaution and was holding it at his side when he opened the door Saturday night.

“At 9 o’clock at night, I never take any chances,” Crawford said.

The three teens had “hoods on and scarves around their faces,” Crawford said, and they hit him with the bat before anyone had a chance to speak.

This is the way to deal with home invaders!  Think they’ll try it again??

Update 1/30/2011:  Found an interesting video  http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20110128-agenda-george-friedman-egypt Dr. George Friedman thinks it’s most likely that the Egyptian military will decide what happens. A reformist, democratic regime is the least likely outcome.

SAN FRANCISCO – About a half-hour past midnight Friday morning in Egypt, the Internet went dead.

Almost simultaneously, the handful of companies that pipe the Internet into and out of Egypt went dark as protesters were gearing up for a fresh round of demonstrations calling for the end of President Hosni Mubarak’s nearly 30-year rule, experts said.

Egypt has apparently done what many technologists thought was unthinkable for any country with a major Internet economy: It unplugged itself entirely from the Internet to try and silence dissent.

The day part of the Internet died: Egypt goes dark – Yahoo! News.

To me, if the government shuts off the internet it’s AK-47 time. Note this happened in a totalitarian state where people’s natural right to self defense and RKBA is denied to them.

Workers saw their wages and benefits rise slightly faster in 2010 than 2009, but the gain was still the second-lowest increase in nearly three decades.

A 2% raise … wow, I haven’t received a raise since 2007. I’m jealous, but I’m still employed.
