Hahaha
- An elderly man shot and killed a would-be burglar inside his Oak Cliff home.
Police say the homeowner saw Deyfon Pipkins, 33, trying to climb into the window and fired his weapon at least once at the intruder. The homeowner is legally protected by the Castle Doctrine, which allows a person to defend his or her home against an intruder.
“It means they don’t actually have to retreat once someone comes in their home,” Sergeant Calvin Johnson, Dallas Police Department, said. “You have the option of using deadly force if you believe your life is in danger.”
After police notified relatives of Pipkins’ death, some showed up at the house. They were upset, and questioned the homeowner’s actions. “He could have used a warning,” Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins’ sister-in-law, said. “He could have let him know that he did have a gun on his property and he would use it in self-defense.”
Pipkins had a lengthy criminal record. He served time in prison and was convicted of theft, possession of a Controlled Substance and criminal trespassing.
We love happy endings, but we're sobered by the thought that in Illinois, these leeches would actually have a case.

How bout this you moron family members. Stay the fuck out of people's houses. Work for a living instead of taking for a living and you should assume everyone is armed!
Ghetto logic at it's best.
Effective January 1, the Great State of Texas is legalizing OPEN (vs. concealed) carry of firearms by sane, law-abiding citizens..
In addition, the death chamber at Huntsville will continue to be the busiest prison execution venue in the nation.
I laughed. I used to live in Texas. Warned him that he had a gun in the house, what a laugh. In Texas, probably eight or nine out of every ten homes has a gun. Usually several to many guns. Anyone who has lived in Texas, and who had at least half a brain, would figure that almost every house has a gun, and homeowners are not afraid to use their guns. Unfortunately, there is always some dumb criminal that never got the message.
Maybe if Deyfon Pipkins would have shouted out "I'm here to rob you all!" while clime in threw the window then he may be still alive today a shooby doo to do.
Unfortunately Illinois doesn't have a Castle Doctrine. God forbid the family apologize for their POS relative breaking into a home he had no business being into. Fuck the bastard. I am reminded of the Petit case and the outcome for those in the home when two unarmed burglars broke into the family's home. Illinois pols are more concerned about lives of criminals than the lives of legit people.
Once again, the black community seeks to justify their criminal behavior. How can you be serious here? Warn the criminal so he comes back armed to finish stealing from you? My God, they are a pathetic lot.
"Police say the homeowner saw Deyfon Pipkins,..."
"He could have used a warning," Lakesha Thompson,..."
Amish? In THAT part of Texas??!!
"Police say the homeowner saw Deyfon Pipkins..."
“He could have used a warning,” Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins’ sister-in-law, said.
His warnings were in his 'lengthy criminal record' and stints in the joint, bitch. Warnings that he obviously ignored.
And had I been the sergeant giving the press release, I would've worked in a clever little quip like: "When my officers arrived on scene, 'Deyfon' the intruder dead from a single gunshot".
Maybe if his "relatives" had shown that much interest in the deceased as a child he would be alive today. But to show at the crime scene and berate the Homeowner is un-fucking believable, Yo ya'all right, should have offered him a cold one before getting assaulted and robbed too
“He could have used a warning,” Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins’ sister-in-law, said. “He could have let him know that he did have a gun on his property and he would use it in self-defense.”
He he could have just followed the law and not tried to take something he didn't work for or earn but some people just feel "entitled" don''t they. Man that whole consequences for your own actions thing really sucks sometimes ...............
Given that recent story about Chicago keeping that one guys firearm after his lawful shooting in humbolte park... It like, you are better off being a criminal than a lawful citizen. Let's face it, a citizen shit head-- you can rape women, fight the cops, shoot off a gun without giving a fuck, and break someone's arm without anything to worry about. However, it if you shoot someone lawfully you get hemmed up and your gun taken away. At the end of the day, this is what it's like living the town that Reichs Minister Rahm and his Henchmen run
Why would they have a case in Illinois? At least, they wouldn't have a winnable case.
(720 ILCS 5/7-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 7-2)
Sec. 7-2. Use of force in defense of dwelling.
(a) A person is justified in the use of force against another when and to the extent that he reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to prevent or terminate such other's unlawful entry into or attack upon a dwelling. However, he is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if:
(1) The entry is made or attempted in a violent, riotous, or tumultuous manner, and he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent an assault upon, or offer of personal violence to, him or another then in the dwelling, or
(2) He reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent the commission of a felony in the dwelling.
(b) In no case shall any act involving the use of force justified under this Section give rise to any claim or liability brought by or on behalf of any person acting within the definition of "aggressor" set forth in Section 7-4 of this Article, or the estate, spouse, or other family member of such a person, against the person or estate of the person using such justified force, unless the use of force involves willful or wanton misconduct.

"Lakesha Thompson"... never mind, I know the answer.
He did get a warning. A complete warning.
Great job homeowner. Amazing these idiots show up to the victims house to protest. Absolutely insanely idiotic
So in Illinois, you actually have no right to defend yourself, your family, or property? Seems the families that speak for their criminal family members have too loud a voice in politics there. Not so hard to figure out why the states population is declining now, is it?
Merry Christmas C.P.D. take care of each Other.
J.J.
You know this story is almost three years old?
Yeah well since he didn't take the previous convictions as warnings I'm not sure what good it would do. Maybe someone else might take it as a warning not to commit home invasions unless they want to get shot? Or that at 33 years old someone should be doing something other than breaking into people's houses?
Nah, let's just get the family together for a photo-op protest and hope for some sort of settlement from... uh... someone. Much easier than raising your kids right so they don't get shot for being little thugs.
The family of the recently deceased fertilizer grade burglar could have taught the clown right from wrong, but no....they'd rather steal than work for a living. Nice Shootin' Tex!
Merry Christmas Laskesha. Good did triumph evil did it not? His lenghly crimial record notwithstanding. I was thinking while walking the dog at 0500 this morning and looking at the majestic moon in the western sky. The same thing ancient man saw during biblical times, the time Christ was born. The same time Joseph would have to worry about some robber entering his home or assaulting him or his family in their abode to steal the gifts of frankensense, murr and gold given them by three wise men. It is amazing how some things can stay the same for thousands of years. But your brother was a thug preying on people he thought were weak. THEY OWED HIM NOTHING! HE OWED THEM A RIGHT TO LIVE IN PEACE! DO YOU GET IT? Merry Christmas to all you cops and civil servants who protect the rest of us, provide us with medical aid or save our homes from destruction.
I love happy endings, too!! Where can I find the nearest massage parlor??
Pretty sure most people are aware that there are consequences for breaking laws. I'd consider that the "warning" that Momma is looking for. Then you factor in that you're breaking into a home in a very pro-gun state. Another warning. Good riddance. This citizen deserves an award for reducing future crime and government spending.
Nope, that would be a good shoot even in Illinois.
It's NEVER "their" fault.
In Texas, home invasion can be a dangerous occupation.
This is a text book example of what is wrong with this country. How about instead of "why couldn't he ____". Why isn't it STOP BREAKING INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S SHIT AND EXPECTING COURTESY?! Ridiculous.
Great Christmas story! Good triumphs over evil. Unfortunately that's becoming rare these days. I love how the cry baby scumbag's family feel like the homeowner should have given the scumbag a second chance.
Illinois law gives ample protection to homeowners defending themselves. Outside of Cook County I would not fear a civil action based on what was in the article. In Cook County where up is down and right is wrong, anything can happen. My advice to you is to not live there.
After police notified relatives of Pipkins’ death, some showed up at the house. They were upset, and questioned the homeowner’s actions. “He could have used a warning,” Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins’ sister-in-law, said. “He could have let him know that he did have a gun on his property and he would use it in self-defense.”
Why couldn't the sister in law question the actions of Pipkins instead? That is the problem. This crap will stop when the criminals realize that there is a very good chance that a homeowner IS armed, and he may be shot if he breaks into someone else's home.
People are fed up with the criminal class. Consider this your warning.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Everytime I read of one of these events I can't help but think of all the tax payers money saved when these scumbags are sent to the great hoosegow in hell. No trial, no turd attorneys, no political judges, no professional organizers. I cannot find any stat's on it. All you find is how evil, and costly the death penalty is. But I can't help but think the number is huge.
In the Middle Ages the term Outlaw was coined. Which ment the person declared an outlaw was just that out side the law. The person could be summarily killed by anyone and that person would face no sanctions. I am not saying we need to go back to this but the doctrine would sure cover the thug with a rap sheet as long as a roll of toilet paper trying to "do" you.
I love it. Family of deadified piece of excrement says the homeowner/victim "shoulda, woulda, coulda done such and such" but cannot conceive that their relative could have not broken laws.
Not for long. Illinois is going to follow New York's "No castle Doctrine" soon enough. The New York way, is the only way.
I'm glad to hear this Happy Christmas Story!
I hope to hear more of this, considering that Police Officers in Illinois and across the country are fighting crime with one hand tied behind our backs and second guessed like a Monday Morning Quarterback!
Stay Fetal my friends!
This is proof that all law abiding citizens should get a 'Carry and Conceal Weapons License" and a nice working weapon for protection!
UnFuckin Real!!! Did they just throw the laws out the window!!! Why the F*ck would you expect a "warning" when you are "illegally" breaking into someone else's residence!!! You never seen a music video, movie or tv show (ghetto education) do that. Naw man, they BLOW THE MOTHERFUCKER AWAY!
LMAO
Once again, its the good citizens fault, not the career criminal.
I'm surprised they didn't say he was turning his life around.
Also I would think that once he was shot, he knew the homeowner had a gun.
Oak Cliff is sort of like Pill Hill on the south side. It is incredible the temerity of the skell's relatives coming to the Vic's residence to complain. I am a lifelong M1 Chicago Democrat and I think this is symptomatic of a society going completely ass backwards. The offender's family should be deeply ashamed and offering abject and contrite apologies to the victim. I am so happy we have concealed carry in Illinois. Too bad there are not more credible M1 community leaders who can forcefully advocate for reason, self responsibility, and love of community/country. Perhaps maybe a smart and credible version of Dr. Carson can emerge from the CPD? I wish one would appear like right now. Merry Christmas/Happy Kwaanza/Happy Hannukuh, Eid Mubarak.
"Castle Doctrine "Not in Illinois, homeowner would go to prison.
We do not have "castle law" in Illinois.
With a Non-Violent criminal record and an ObamAmnesty® recipient,
Pipkins could have had been a Chicago Alderman.
Typical shithead verbiage. My son/nephew/cousin is an asshole criminal that the family couldn't or wouldn't do anything about but the victim should have allowed himself to be a victim.
More protection for the douchbags who would steal what you Worked for from odumbo & the socialist dumbass Dumbocrats.
That loud noise he heard before the bullet him him WAS the warning.
Sorry, Lakesha, no $$ for you.
He did fire a warning shot...it went into the offender.
Attitude today -- guy stealing a nice baby carriage left in apt. vestibule for a minute.
When confronted -- "What you care? It don't belong to you!"
*
Well maybe the would be intruder could of warned the home owner that he was going to break into the house to steal and possibly harm the shooter so that he could of called the police to get him. I guess that the chance that you take. Great job homeowner. Protect the Homefront.
My asthma!
"After police notified relatives of Pipkins’ death, some showed up at the house."
Uh...new one on me. Endangers the victim no end.
"Offender is being transported from such-and-such hospital to the M.E.s office, where an autopsy will be performed as our investigation continues. We are trying to do a good, thorough job here, as everyone would want. After the investigation is complete, the body will be released to family as soon as it is deemed appropriate to do so."
What is this, everyone has to have a copy of a souvenir "video" five minutes later?
"Get off my lawn, Clyde," as the saying goes.
You'd think they could take a rather broad hint that they are not welcome on the premises...
One of the many things the Castle Doctrine resolves is elderly, disabled and other 'at risk' people. Young people can jump out their second floor bedroom window, do a couple of sommersaults, land on their feet, light a cigarette and coyly state, "that was easy".
Disabled people sort of have a hard time retreating/fleeing from their house in the middle of the night and only a democrat mother would flee her house and leave her children inside to fend for themselves.
I've already put my application in for a lateral to Dallas. Been with CPD long enough and have had enough. Too much BS and not worth the headache. Count me and my family in the statistic of those leaving at a pace of 1 every 5 minutes. To hell with Illinois. Good for the old man.
The homeowner/victim should have turned on the sprinklers.

Had a bit of eggnog while typing, eh?
Homeowner gave him a final warning.
This story IS almost 3 years old but still warms my heart.
I am looking forward to the day when a Jihadist yelling Allah Akbar opens fire only to be blasted to pieces by people with CCW's That will be a sweet day indeed.
Lakesha should have told him to stop being a shithead. But now he truly has turned his life around.
They would NOT have a case in Illinois, since Illinois law (statute and case) does not require a potential victim to flee or use a lower level of force. Deadly force may be used to stop an in-progress forcible felony, or to defend oneself or another from death or great bodily harm. Nor may an aggressor sue the would-be victim:
(720 ILCS 5/7-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 7-1)
Sec. 7-1. Use of force in defense of person.
(a) A person is justified in the use of force against another when and to the extent that he reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or another against such other's imminent use of unlawful force. However, he is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or another, or the commission of a forcible felony.
(b) In no case shall any act involving the use of force justified under this Section give rise to any claim or liability brought by or on behalf of any person acting within the definition of "aggressor" set forth in Section 7-4 of this Article, or the estate, spouse, or other family member of such a person, against the person or estate of the person using such justified force, unless the use of force involves willful or wanton misconduct.

Understand it's just "holiday nog" now, due to high price of eggs. Can't let anything cut into the profit projections. Pa-too. Got a blender, make your own. Probably come out real nice.
...and always with a little nutmeg on top...
Fuckin Dumb Asses. Everyone in Texas has a gun in their residences. Stuck On Stupid Forever.
Ya'll should take a CCW class and learn use of force in IL.
We absolutely do have castle doctrine and stand your ground. There is no duty to retreat in IL (anywhere you are legally entitled to be) and if the shooting is ruled self-defense you have civil immunity from these kinds of lawsuits.

Can an experienced LEO confirm deadly use of force in the home?
