A\u00a0 South Carolina woman kills an escaped inmate who had just kicked down her back door:<\/p>\n
The inmate was still in his orange jail jumpsuit and had grabbed a knife sharpening tool from the woman’s kitchen in Pickens as he headed toward her bedroom around 3 a.m. Tuesday, Pickens County Sheriff Rick Clark said.<\/p>\n
“This was a big guy. If she hadn’t had a weapon there’s no telling what would have happened,” Clark said. “I gave her a big hug. I told her how proud I was of her.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’m trying to imagine any Metro area chiefs of police who’d do that.<\/p>\n
Bruce McLaughlin Jr., 30, died from a gunshot to the head, Pickens County Coroner Kandy Kelley said.<\/p>\n
McLaughlin and a second inmate, Timothy Dill, beat up two guards in an escape they had planned for days, Clark said at a news conference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’m not gonna call it a “Happy Ending” – killing someone is the second-worst possible outcome.<\/p>\n
But the worst – a dead victim – is far, far worse.<\/p>\n
Too bad gun control activists would prefer women like that to shut up and get raped to death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
