Homeowner Holds Suspects At Gunpoint Till Arrests

October 11, 2007

Cinco Ranch homeowner Nathaniel Brooks couldn’t believe what he saw when he woke up early Thursday morning. As he went to feed his cats he noticed the side door to the garage was open. Inside were two suspects going through his wife’s vehicle. Brooks immediately retrieved his 12-gauge shotgun. He told 11 News Reporter Kevin Reece “and I walked out of the house and I went around and confronted those guys on the side of the house.” Brooks went on to say, “so I aimed at him and said you sneeze you’re dead man, and I called the other guy out of the garage.” Fort Bend County Deputies arrived a short time later and said it appears the suspects may be responsible for 5-other burglaries in the same area. Way to go Nathaniel Brooks!

It is too bad that most criminals have’nt learned that people like Nathaniel Brooks work hard for what they have and don’t appreciate letting low-lives take it away.

Thanks to Nathaniel there are two less bums off the streets and in the jail — where they belong!

To bad he didn’t kill them. They will be out in two months and do it again.

Way to go Nathaniel — but load that gun with birdshot and give them something to think about

I say load the gun with rock salt & let them burn on the insides of their skin.
PEOPLE WORK HARD FOR THEIR MONEY AND DON’T APPRECIATE LOW-LIFE THUGS TRYING TO STEAL IT. I SAY SHOOT FIRST, IF YOU DON’T RECOGNIZE THEM AS A NEIGHBOR OR YOUR OWN CHILD, THEN ASK QUESTIONS. IF IT WEREN’T A THIEF THEY WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR WHAT THEY NEEDED.
