Crankin' Along!

Bob_S sends in yet another addition to the Dead Goblin Count, another addition coming to us [clap][clap][clap] deep in the heart of Texas:

Homeowner Kills Teen Burglary Suspect

FORT WORTH, Texas - A Fort Worth teenager is dead after police said he tried to break into a house and was shot. The incident happened at about noon on Wednesday in the 1100 block of East Jefferson Avenue.

The homeowner said shortly after he returned home from work he heard a noise at his back window. The man said he pulled back the blinds and saw a young man with a crow bar trying to pry the window open.

The homeowner loaded his weapon (seriously? You grabbed an unloaded gun? Preparation!) with the hopes that it would scare off the goblin, to no effect - guess that's another checkmark in the "racking the slide to scare off the goblin is a myth" category. There's the usual "he was a good boy" handwringing by the deceased's mother - not to downplay her account, as no parent wants to bury a child, of course, but "good boy"s do not break into people's homes with a crowbar after being kicked out of school for fighting.

Dead Goblin count: 164

That is all.

His mom said he was just visiting a girl that lived there! With a crowbar? Girl must be mean.
