A Coos Bay homeowner made teens caught breaking into his house call 911 to report themselves.

KATU-TV reports the three 14-year-old boys were all taken to the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Center on Sunday on charges including burglary, trespassing and possession of marijuana.

The Coos County sheriff’s office says the man was armed when he discovered the boys burglarizing his home.

Emergency dispatchers say he made one of the teens call police and report the burglary in progress.

    I wonder if the burglars’ defense lawyers will try to get the 911 call excluded from the trial because it was made under duress.

      Great move by this man!!
      We all need to be armed and be trained in gun useage. I just looked at the list of most heavily armed states in the country!! The ones rated lowest on the gun ownership list per 1000 people had the highest crime rates! That wasn’t reported there, but all I had to do was compare those reported places with the list of high crime rates areas!! The outcome was very obvious!! Once again debunking obummer’s and the libs claims of gun control working!! What works is well armed and well trained private citizens being armed and willing to defend their properties and loved ones!!

        When I read about how Obama, Hillary, et al, try to convince us that we would be safer if we had no guns, I keep remembering that Hitler, Mussolini, and other despots have originally gotten their power by first convincing citizens to give up their guns, assuring them they would be safer, and and once the people are unarmed and powerless, then the despot takes over. Frankly, I simply cannot even imagine anything worse than Obama, or even ole’ Hillary, owning me, owning my very life. I might not have done extremely well with it, but at least I’ve so far made my own choices. Sheesh!! Even the idea of them being in charge of me makes me sick.

    They have yet to perfect their trade craft. Another 2years and they will be pro’s. The reason,these punks will get off because they are juvies in Oblamers world. This homeowner would have been a hero if he would have ended the existence of these punks and saved future tax payers money.

    Now, make the parents write a 5,000 word answer, ‘ where was my kid?’ including, ‘why does he break and enter to steal?’ Parents are guilty, also… Work plan for these kids would be grand.

    They need to be buggy-whipped and sent home to their parents, not to some juvie camp where their skills will be hones. Carroll says:

    Failed to mention there was a 8 year old girl with this little bunch of hoodlums. This generation is use to getting what they want, the 10 to 25 yrs group. And if they don’t, they steal it or try too as in this instance. Off to a bad start in life, but it’s happening every where.
