Post subject:  Dial 911 and die.

I think this goes in this forum because of the total failure of effective police response.

NOTE: The value of calling 911 even if you don't get any help. It establishes WHO is the "good guy" in the confrontation.

Oops, Wrong Cars: A man who is licensed to carry a concealed firearm shot a suspected auto burglar and carjacker who attacked him at an apartment complex earlier last weekend in northeast Houston, police said… The man and his wife approached Franklin as he was breaking into their vehicle, pulled him away from the car and then called police. Franklin left, but tried to burglarize other cars in the complex and then attempted to carjack another resident, who ran into his apartment, police said. The shooter and his wife saw the attack and again called police. They again approached Franklin, who attacked the man and began fighting with him. The man's wife hit Franklin several times to get him away from her husband. Police said the husband then pulled out a pistol and fired at least once, hitting Franklin in the chest. The man and his wife called for medical help and performed first aid on Franklin until paramedics arrived. Franklin was taken to a local hospital, where he died. (Performing first aid on someone who has recently attacked you is a very risky proposition.)
