Bob, The Big Guy, and Sean all sent in links to this particular addition:

1 dead in Charlotte home invasion
Police are looking for a man in a home invasion robbery and fatal shooting Friday in the Shannon Park neighborhood.

A woman shot and killed one of two men who forced their way into the house at 2404 Finchley Drive, near the intersection of Eastway Drive and Shamrock Road, said Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. The incident took place around 9:30 a.m.

Two criminals attacked the homeowner as he pulled into his driveway. They forced him into his house at gunpoint and started beating him. His girlfriend watches this go down, grabs her gun, and opens fire, killing one of the two goblins. I'd call that problem solved.

One of the interesting parts of the story, one that gets potentially taken out of context in the comments to the article, is the use of the word "homicide" to describe what happened. Some take offense to the term, but I think in this case it's just the proper legal term. It's definitely a homicide - someone died at another's hands - but hopefully it will be ruled justifiable...

Dead Goblin Count: 176.

That is all.

If you're serious, you're nuts.
If you're joking, too long.
If you're a spambot, you aren't reading this.
Man, am I bored.
