My Canadian Home Invasion Story Ends in First Degree Murder

- After 6 months of travelling this year and spending the other 6 months living in the gunshine state of Florida, the last thing I would have expected from a sleepy little hollow in the suburbs of Canada was a home invasion that would end up leaving me with clothing as my only possession and my dad's Honda Element being stolen and used in two counts of first degree murder.
While I have spent the year travelling and avoiding unsafe places this is the last place on earth that I thought I would see my life fall to pieces in a matter of moments.
I encourage all of you to watch this video as this could be any one of you.
Murder Trial for the Mac's Murder's is set: globalnews.ca/news/3303339/tri...
Here is the link to the details of the murder part that I do not go into detail about in the video: www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/12/...

Since a lot of you are asking what type of business Chris Daub was involved in have decided to post a link. He owns Audio Obssession Sound in Sherwood Park Alberta. As a guest in his house he has told me that this is my fault and my problem, he put me on a plane back to the US and refused to answer any of my phone calls or emails.

As a proud Canadian I can say our gun laws leave our citizens absolutely defenseless. Its an absolute joke
Bill Lockhart what do ya mean defenceless Bill? Us Canadians aren’t left defenceless!
All we have to do is politely ask Da Thug if he could please wait a moment and ya jus know he’ll say ok, right? After all, he’s probably a Canadian too, or might have been since last year, so it’s a given he will be polite too, eh?
So, you then run out to the flag pole out front, take our flag down, then put it back up, upside-down. When a neighbour sees the International Distress Signal (that’s what the upside down flag is, eh?)or when Dudley DoRight rides by on his moose (cost cuts forced our Mounties to give up their horses) so, when Dudley sees the wrong-side-up, flag, he charges in to save the day! There, all is good here in Canada. Oh, I forgot, yes Canada is safe, unless you’re a tourist in Northern British Columbine.
Note:
1. No ethnic, minority, multi-letter or multi-coloured-flag group was hurt while typing you this story.
2. Telling everybody about the upside down flag is my good deed for the day.
Bill Lockhart Oh ya, Bill, did you used to be in Sea Cadets back in ‘77?
As a Canadian, I’ll defend my life and my families lives as I see fit, then deal with the fallout.
@@LeoTheLoyal lame
Proud? Leme guess you vote for trudeau aswell? How can you be proud of this disgrace of a country. It's pathetic.
So you were more scared in Gunshine Fla as you put it. You never open the door to anyone, you should have called the person and or the police. Never open the door to anyone you do not know!
Who cares about the house or the car or anything outside of life. Also why do you not detail now Who did this?
Because they were Indians and she's being a bit pc I think. Since she's visited Canada, she probably has a good idea that natives here are a special snowflake above all other protected species according to pc police. I'm fucking over it though. Worst crime perps in Edmonton and most of Canada if in any numbers. But we're all so racist though. I love my native friends that are decent. I don't give a shit for thugs.
if theyre native, theyre not indian. but i agree. we are slightly too PC
Michael Zhang Are you making a distinction between native white Canadians and Indians? I'd also say we are A LOT PC.
Whom are you relying to? If it is me, what did I say that we teach all our children from the time they can talk, not to open doors of the house or car to strangers. She should have looked through the peephole and called the guy back or the police. Not only did she open it to one man, that was the first contact, she then reopened it to two men. She could have been horribly murdered (tortured, raped multiple times and then murdered) We have been teaching children for over 40 years about stranger danger. Women how to not become a victim. I am so happy she is alive, but truly I listened and I am still upset as to how women are not being wise, not thinking, and not protecting themselves while all alone.
When you need help in seconds, the police are only minutes away. Here in the US, it's legal for your buddies Smith and Wesson to rescue you
@@silv3rbackrambo151 maybe you can show us how little damage a 9mm can do. Like the lady ask his friend to choke her maybe you can ask a friend to shoots you with a 9mm and make a vidio telling everyone your experience.
@@silv3rbackrambo151 SMFH
Smith wesson and me
@@silv3rbackrambo151 Yeah! Listen to silv3rbackrambo151 with his use of "your" instead of "you're".
Come to Canada 🇨🇦 where criminals are legally protected.... uhhh I think I’ll stay in Texas
Sir i agree with you 💪👊
You and i would understand , stand our fucking grounds 💣 all the way
@Tyler Durden yeah but at least you can legally defend yourself from it
Try Alberta if I bounce a burglar's head off the concrete out front his ass can't sue me
I think I'll stay in Georgia where I can stand my ground.
@@tristanphillips3639 not no longer, Georgia is a shithole disguised as a good place, don’t shoot a black guy you’ll go to jail instantly
She's only alive because the one guy got panicky upstairs, they got spooked & fled the scene in the car sooner than they had intended.
She's a fool if she believes self defense classes would enable her to fight off several grown men that have very little respect for human life.
The law can't protect her 24/7, but she's unwilling to get trained & armed to protect herself for the next time. So it's a matter of time until she becomes a violent crime statistic.
She's beyond lucky she didn't become a statistic. She seems oblivious to reality. That's one of the reasons she got jacked in her own home. She better live and learn.
She actually stated that there was nothing she could do in that situation. You are correct though her lack of willingness to learn how to use a firearm or any type of training will up with her becoming a statistic. Her first mistake was answering the door after that other guy left he was casing the house. Now then after her friend left to go to work several men determined to get in would have regardless of if she answered the door or not anything can happen anywhere. She should have just left through the back door as quickly and quietly as possible and called 911 and get to somewhere safer. When he asked her if he should come back after calling him at work her answer should have been YES!!
I live in the "Gunshine State" of Florida, bust into my front door and see how that works out for ya.......
No tea and crumpets?
John Jones
Not at first, no....
Same in North Carolina too.
Florida also, I answer my door with a 1911A2 in hand, behind my back.. if you ring my bell... gun comes to the door with me. Make a move at me and .45ACP hydra-shock to the chest instantly. I wont even call the cops, ill just drag you inside...
Stand your ground .
I never answer my door, if they know me, they can call me..I only answer the phone when my husband is out. I'm 66 years old and don't trust anybody in Florida.
Good advise
At least in Florida, you can stand your ground.
Yep, never open the door if you don’t know the person.
My 70 year old mother answers the door with Smith 66 .
Don't trust anybody period
Had she decided to disobey the law and keep a weapon, had she used it to save herself, SHE would be in prison. How is that a just outcome?
Richard, it is okay if you get RAPED, MURDERED and MUTILATED. According to the law, what is important is that the bad guys are OKAY and was not hurt in anyway... lol...
It's just for Authoritarian.
@@1USAUSAChildren are no exception.
Richard * I know how...you kill them and don't say anything. Get rid of the bodies.
Just proof the left is ruining the world not just America. They want you to be a docile taxslave and nothing more.
Thankfully the laws of Canada protected those two guys from the fear of being shot by a homeowner!
I can't believe she actually liked your comment considering how much sarcasm you dipped it in before posting 😂
@Todd Stamos your arguement has no meat....no substance....no flavor.
@Todd Stamos flavor of soy extract.
Braden, I do hope that's sarcasm.
Todd, this video is proof positive you're dead wrong. She's lucky to be alive.
You idiot!! More concerned about the law breakers than the law abiding citizen. This is how liberals think. Braden Glett has so much sympathy for the criminals Braden should invite all criminals to his home and please Braden let them take what they want if they leave. Canada’s law are made from cowards who care more about career criminals than their own law abiding citizens. For example Canada’s President gave $8 million to a terrorist and praising the murder, $8 million he could of helped out Canada’s law abiding citizens who was struggling in life. But this is the mental deranged thinking from liberals.
Lesson here: Hoping really hard that nothing bad happens, is not really a plan.
Exactly... I'm in a line of wk where victims take precaution after the fact to never become victims again however, they never encounter another such incident.
So the lesson is, prepare yourself for something that most likely won't happen... because it can happen.
Politicians like to protect their own kind. Even if they are less sophisticated criminals.
If Someone tried to break into my place while I’m home they’re going to wish they hadn’t. Every house hold should have a firearm of some kind to protect they’re property and loved ones. I wish other countries could understand the passion we have for our guns here in the U.S. we refuse to be victims so far as we can help it!
Depends on the state you live in, we have over a half dozen states that will arrest you for murder for protecting yourself and and your family, not every state claims you have a right to do this. A guy in NY just killed 2 home invades and was charged with a double homicide, a state so nice they charge you twice...
Probably - within your time - We The People will be disarmed by our government.
@@beovulfxxx Welcome to Socialism.
I'd rather move to Texas instead
Doesn’t seem fair only the bad guys have guns here. Sure, they’re breaking the law to have them but that doesn’t stop ‘em.
This story just makes me thankful, once again, that I am an American. We have the right to bare arms and unlike Canada, Australia, UK and others - we will NEVER give up our guns. Glad you are ok and lived to tell the story.
@Phil C stfu
Should have never open the door for strangers but then on the other hand, as determined as they were they could have kicked the door open. Opening that door just a little bit as she mentioned, a guy versus a woman, kicked that door and it hit you in the face you're going down and the odds swing wildly into the perpetrators favor. Unless you have a gun in hand and start firing don't matter if you got guns in the house or not.
Boss Lady, our right to bear arms in the U.S. is under serious threat from all the SJW, socialist nut jobs.
@@billwalker4836 Yes, keeping the door closed is a good start. But you are placing the blame on the wrong person. Even if she refused to open the door, it wasn't a guarantee that they wouldn't of entered another way. I've been called a racist for not opening my front door. One guy said, "Just open the door; I can't hear what you're saying too well." When I said, "Uh, no, this is my door and I don't choose to open it." To which he replied, "Who do you think I am, a murderer?", to which I responded, "Uh, yup."
@@catbee1452 I get that and I'm not laying blame on the victim...that's what I was talking about determined perps kicking the door in... I truly think she's lucky to be alive. Cant blame a victim for the evile that seeks out the week.
A family member was killed in a Armed Robbery, that affected me growing up, so now i go everywhere Armed,
sorry for your loss, I have a friend that was shot in the stomach during a home invasion luckily he survived I'm all for people owning guns, but I always tell my friends that having a gun is not a magic wand you need training on how to properly use it. I hope that you trained in the different situations where you might have to use it again sorry for your loss and be safe.
Henry Townshed damn what happened
Dear criminal: I wear a gun whether I'm in my house or around town. Invading my home may very well be your last act in life. But that's up to you, not me.
Armed society is a peaceful society.
Tim definitely one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read 😩😩😩
Team of commando Criminal armed to teeth and body armors will invade your house just for fun.
Damn straight! The possibility of losing their lives on the spot tends to be a better deterrent than the possibility of going to jail sometime in the future.
Another group of people who need to take note is the weirdos out "protesting." Antifa and BLM's days are numbered if they don't cool it. We'll see just how dedicated they are to their cause when it becomes fatal. One way or another, they're going to stop.
Jack T not really. For decades VT had no concealed carry permit required. So anyone at any time could carry, and people knew it. The result? People weren’t assholes to each other, because you never know who is armed. Grand total average of 4 murders a year in the whole state.
I dont know who said it but it would be my statement to the jury if this situation happen. " I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6."
I'm a firearms instructor and have dealt with more victims of violence than I want to think about. I have few mantras, but one of them is "Never open the front door. Ever." No one comes over nowadays without texting or calling first. No. One. If you're a guest in someone's home, don't answer because its not your house and NO ONE COMES OVER NOWADAYS WITHOUT TEXTING OR CALLING FIRST. Also, the best home defence is LOW TECH. Screws in windows, door stoppers, fake cameras in all visible areas, and get a dog. Survival is all about risk mitigation. Each of the things I've listed will lower your risk exponentially. Prayers to this lady. She did an excellent job of surviving! BTW, the second most important mantra? "Do not ever let a bad guy take you to a second location." Most of the time that is a different address from where the original crime was committed. But for longer term home invasions, that also includes saying "Let's go upstairs or to the basement". No No No. Statistically speaking, you have seconds left to fight. So fight. Prayers to all involved.
That's terrible. I'm so sorry to hear it.
When we lived in town, it was generally known we had guns AND dogs (obvious). In that area over an 8 year period, nearly every house around us was broken into at 1 time or another. Our dogs saved us. I'm positive of it.
I just heard from an old student of mine that experienced a break in recently. He had a genius idea. He said he had an electrician wire an extra alarm siren on each side of the house (less than $100 to have them wired) where the rain wouldn't hurt it so that when the alarm went off it wasn't just sounding the alarm indoors.....everyone in the entire neighborhood would hear it. Even though we have become complacent around alarms because they're so common.....THAT is an uncommonly loud alarm. And no burgler ever wants to be seen. I'm pretty sure he has some pretty awesome lighting around the house as well.
Again, low tech is the way to go. And like CS said above, dogs are the best.
C S Gave my dog an extra treat for your dogs! Lol! Glad you’re safe
know who your neighbors are-I used to live in nepean, a nice suburb and find out on one side someone in the house is a hitman with criminal groups.
-other side is drug things,people whatever.
The rcmp questioned me,but I never saw anyone at night so could not help much.
Also don't have beefs with people where you live, no one wants to visit where I live as they say the next street over is full of gangs and guns.
-people leave me alone here,I do not get in their business.
If you see two cars stopped at a intersection exchanging money or someone in front of the money mart do that, just smile at them and leave them alone, go about your day.
-whatever those people are trading or exchaning is not my business,it is their whatever.....maybe it is sneakers or something else.....who knows.
Canada's gun free country, where criminals are safe and safer for future criminals.
....and we keep importing more and more of them.....holy crap.....I remember when you still had to have actual marketable skills to move here....
Canada isn’t gun free. It has a long history of hunting and gun ownership.
@@xavierbreath2227 What a joke. You have to have them locked up where they are completely worthless to you, and even if you do get a chance to use it you are going to get prosecuted for it.
This is why firearms are so important. I hope you can recover from this, but you should consider arming yourself so it never happens again.
In Canada?! It’s illegal to own a firearm.
WTF Kyle: I’m not Canadian.
really? so at what point during this story could a gun have helped her? the kicked the door in on her and beat her and tied her up! fool
@@TheTurk56523 No, it's legal to own rifles and shotguns, as long as they are licensed. I have a friend who lives in Canada that shoots for sport with his rifle but he also says he is not afraid to use it if someone was to invade his house.
@@NurseNick420License is a preparation for CONFISCATION. Oh Canada.
I literally have chills listening to your story...I can't even imagine the sheer terror you went through😪 you poor thing. So sorry this happened to you! Thank god you were able to get through this harrowing ordeal with your life! Keep your head up and I sincerely hope you're doing well both mentally, emotionally and physically! God bless!
This kids, is why you learn how to use a gun. Notice I said. "use", and not, "shoot". There's more to defending yourself with a gun than just shooting.
first learn self defense
yes and then some of the kids that will end up being murders, rapists and criminals will perfectly know how to use a gun. perfect
TheDarthJosh What? I have a hard time following your incoherent logic, care to elaborate?
+Henry Rosenberg He's obviously a naive toolbag who has no idea how things work.
Looks at the statistics +TheDarthJosh - it is exceedingly rare for a licensed and otherwise law abiding gun owner to turn into a "murderer, rapist, and criminal". At least in Canada, licensed gun owners are LITERALLY the most law abiding demographic in the country. Licensed gun owners are around 3 times (yes, THREE TIMES) less likely to commit a violent/serious crime than a "regular" (non gun owning) Canadian. Licensed gun owners are even less likely to commit serious/violent crimes than police officers!
So you'll trust a police officer with a gun, but think that a person who learns to use a gun when they are young will "end up being a murders, rapists and criminals"? So naive
+TheDarthJosh The ones that do murder and rape, will do that with or without a gun. So, with your logic there will be nobody to stop the criminal., until police show and that may be too late. I rather teach someone to use a gun to stop a crime.
I'm going to just take a wild guess and say your buddy 'dobbs' is into more than he is leading on. I would venture to say drugs are involved. You make reference to him keeping shady company, and the invaders themselves were going to 'drug' you. You're right, these things dont just happen out of the blue. Not like this. There's way more to this story.
Hazy Sativa I agree, especially after reading the description where she said this "Daubs" guy has sent her on a plane back home and ever since refused to answer any of her calls or emails, and told her that this was HER fault and HER problem... !! Like whaaaattt the actual F×CK?!? He DEFINITELY knows a whole lot more about this then he's letting on....
Exactly shit like this happens all the time and there is always another story behind the scenes, locally we had a similar situation, 3 guys barge into home middle of the day, duct tapes this woman to a chair and beats her up, destroys the home inside and leaves, cops call it a home invasion and all is quite.
Months later husband gets both legs broken, turns out he owned a ton of money to drug dealers, he had a side business selling drugs to his buddies but neglected to pay his suppliers on time...
And this is why drugs should be legalized to end this shit...
50 Ducks In A Hot Tub Shitbags like that will always end up in trouble no matter what gets legalized. Cause' they're shitbags :)
Exactly if Cannabis was legal there would be no black market, no excessive profit, no crime, instead of $200 oz it would be damn near worthless
***** "Pot" is big business. Black market or otherwise. Its much better legalized, but thats not going to prevent people from getting in trouble with it.
You're one amazing tough person. Years ago, the POS I was married to, beat the daylights out of me on a regular basis. To this day, I still flinch if someone moves too quickly around me.
You used your head and kept your wits about you..
I'm so glad you made it through that terrible ordeal.
P.S. I'm also glad I live in the United States. Tomorrow I'm going shopping for a nice Glock.
Best of luck and gun training to you.
In Canada, guns are for sport only. System works against any possibility of personal or home defense. Even in 2019
Umm..not really according to the Canadian charter of rights and freedom you have the right to defend yourself against reasonable treat of bodily harm and death..there have cases of Canadians defending them selves with firearms and it be ruled justified and not charged with anything...you will go to trial anytime you kill someone especially with a gun it happens in the states all the the time...it’s if the shootings are justified!
@@tonyallen2812 😁😁😁You have the right to let yourself be killed in Canada. You do not have the right to defend yourself in Canada's. Try defending yourself, bullshit, you'll have to spend your life's savings to prove your inoccence. ...what a fucking joke this country is!
@@tonyallen2812 Unfortunately even in obvious cases of stalking, home invasion and the like, you have to waste your time and often your life savings defending yourself in court. The idea is to deter people from defending themselves. "Natural order" and all that.
Wow! So sorry this happened to you. I had a home invasion 40 years ago now. I'm now 62. The night of my 22nd birthday, about 10:30 or 11:00 that night, I had come home from my parents house, where my mom made me a nice birthday dinner. I was reading a book, when I heard breaking glass. I was born and raised around firings and had bought my first handgun when I was 21. I ran into my bedroom and grabbed that well hidden, loaded gun, and waited in the dark doorway to see what happened next. I had to quickly run through my plan in my head, and here was the basics of that plan. 1. I would wait in the darkened doorway, as the person, or persons, had entered in my kitchen, and would have to enter the adjoining dining room to get anywhere else in the house. My bedroom adjoined one side of the dining room, so they would have to enter that well lighted dining room. 2 .I decided that if there were more than one person, I would have to shoot them. 2. I decided that, if there was one person, and that person was armed, I would shoot them. 3. I decided that, if there was only one person, and they were unarmed, I would then step out, with my gun aimed at them, and confront them. Luckily for me, and them, situation 3 was what went down. A lone guy, about 45 years old entered thye dining room, and I saw no weapon. I then stepped out, aiming at his head the whole time, and told him to back his butt up against my wall, or I would fire. My roomate, Glen, had been asleep while this was happening, and I yelled for him to call the cops, while I held the guy at gunpoint. I told Glen to tell the police that a bad guy broke into our house, and that the good guy has a gun and is holding him for the police to come and get.
The cops came, and, I had Glen wait for them and remind them that the good guy has a gun and is holding the bad guy. As the police came in, I opened the cylinder on my revolver, and held it by the butt with the tips of my fingers, and made a show of setting it on the couch. Here is what the cops said. First cop into the room, "Hey, Nice gun!". Then he looked at the bad guy, called him by name, and said "Fred Br########, not you again!". Second cop, as he walked in said " I'd have shot him.".
This was November 1st, 1975 at the house we rented on 200th, which is the street that bordered SeaTac Airport near Seattle. Oddly, while this was happening I was not scared at all, but very clear thinking, and I was, and am, a very experienced shooter, that went on to compete in various firearm matches. But, I had very recently quit smoking. Right after the cops took him away, my knees started knocking, and I asked Glen for a smoke, and I started chain smoking. I had to quit all over smoking all over again.
I am very glad that I did not have to shoot this guy, as it would have been hard to deal for my 22 year old self at the time. I am also very glad, in a way, that it happened, as I found out how I would handle a crisis, and I was 100% happy with how I handled it.
I have told the story many times over the 40 years since it happened, not to act like a big man, or something. But, in conversations, or online forums, where I start reading, or hearing, about how nobody ever successfully uses a firearm in self defense. I will not let that type of statement go unchallenged. No shots fired, and no one was injured.
Your event was much worse than mine, as the two criminals had control, and you were beat up. Both of us had our lives changed by these home invasions.
I think you are dealing with it well, and you are one super strong lady!! Even after 40 years, I remember the events of that night like it happened last week. In my case, I suppose, the stress was from how close I came to shooting this dude. I had the hammer cocked, and finger on trigger aimed at his head. He was babbling gibberish and would start to approach me, and I would have to remind him that I would shoot him if he didn't back up against the wall. That happened 3-4 times till the police arrived.
May you have a great, long, happy, and BORING life (compared to this occurance you had!!).
Thanks for sharing Jon. Great story, and there was 3 men in my story. I am not sure I will ever live a boring life. I am always on adventures. Thats why I started a youtube channel. I do hope however that someday soon I start to feel like heading out on my next adventure. I have been enjoying some downtime at my place on the ocean, mending my soul.
Ha! I meant boring in a good way. No more experiences like this one.
+Jon Neet Agreed! Let's hope so!
+Live Awesomeness You didn't deserve this nor, does anyone anywhere,, Musta been in Ont, Toronto my guess.
I you have way more self control than I do. I will shoot anyone that comes in home uninvited and not think twice. To each his own......
There's no reason to open a door for a stranger.
especially girl scouts, don't trust them as far as you can see them.
immortal hype where are you located where 4$ a box is expensive?!
@Road Glide similar thoughts here... I guess because she's white and as she says the neighborhood being white and the place for people to move into for raising children lulled her into a false sense of security much to her detriment. I think being a paranoid girl I would've wanted the homeowner to come home or spent the day out somewhere or would've been yakking on the phone if I went to answer the door (I wouldn't have as my friends all know to call me before visiting) just to show that there is someone who can call for help.
those little shits will rob you worse than the home invaders!
It's a good idea to have double doors.
I'm so sorry this happened to you - I can relate :( Your 'friend' isn't a friend at all, I'm shocked that he blamed you for the whole thing and didn't have any sympathy whatsoever for the horrendous experiences you had. God bless, you're strong, and it's so important to share this story so that others can learn from it.
Ma'am glad you came out the other side of this thing! You are one kick ass lady! And I'm glad I listened to your story!!!
no folks, don't have a friend "choke you out" for the experience. This move can kill you very easily. Do not play around with "choking out". I have been, and taught how to do it in the USMC. Not a game at all. Very dangerous. Also, not sure why you would be asking homeowner to pick up costs insurance didn't cover. You opened the door. Most children know to not open doors for strangers. I am always armed and 6' 4" very capable fellow and I never open a door to a stranger. Period. Glad you're ok. Good luck.
@JF’S GIRL Stewart
You are TOTALY UNINFORMED.
If it will knock you out from no blood to brain please explain why, after a while, it would not kill you!?
@Bob 357
Calm Bob.. first no one has the name "douchebag" or "moron" so really, no one knows who you're talking to. Possibly talking to yourself.
So if you're addressing me... I am supporting the concept that choking someone out is a poor idea.
Blessed day. 🖖

Exactly. Jesus what an absolutely IGNORANT thing for her to say. I’m sympathetic to her for what happened but that is a terrible thing for her to even suggest.
If someone doesn't call me and tell me they're coming over.. I'm not even going to the door. Period. Luck Lady
Carri's 3RingCircus Same! Lucky for me I live in an apartment with a video intercom, so no one can even access my place without me seeing who they are and then me buzzing them in.

Who is an escort? Idk about that. That seems scary.. I guess you would just need to carry a gun??💁
Always good to have a camera that can see who is at the door and record their image just in case something happens. These images can be sent straight to the cloud. Good bargaining chip too.
I understand that wasnt easy to relive. Thank you for doing so for the viewers. Hopefully you sought counseling for this traumatic event. God bless.
The advice you have given in this video is priceless. In a high stress situation keep calm and control your thoughts, panicking is the worst thing you can do.
MrDirtdart,
I too have fought and served this country and completely agree with you brother!! If my government can trust me enough to train me and send me to war with what are considered, "prohibited firearms" in Canada, why is it now that as a civilian, I can not be trusted to protect my life and/or the lives of my family with a legally owned firearm?
because they want you helpless and dependent
They only want you armed well if you are SERVING them.
head south....
because there are a bunch of idiots who didn't go to war and we do not want the same situation that they have in the us.
I would rather you had to take time of to do a course that you don't need than me being unable to walk on the street at night because we don't regulate guns
Mutt N Jeff Bingo! Whatever the government says, everybody has the right to protect himself.
Watch out for PTSD signs later on and don't be a afraid to get help if it starts. I am amazed at your level headiness both then and now. Thank you for posting this
Agree!! It’s a very real possibility, and one should always be made aware of because it does happen whether it be mild moderate or severe! I’ve had a home invasion and struggled with ptsd big time for years afterwards!
This is pretty minor.
Neptune .png They would’ve noticed and properly beat her up more. Not struggling was the right decision, it seems like none of these guys truly wanted to kill her but fucks sake that’s scary. I bet if she tried to fight back that would’ve given them an excuse to fuck her up more ya know?
What a horrible ordeal to go through! Im sooo sorry to hear you had to endure something so horrendous! Glad that you survived.Im lost for words! Hope you are on your way to heal and getting your life back to some kind of normality.
Sending you lot's of well we wishes from Australia.
I am so glad you are safe. You seem strong. Ppl make fun of me because I have a gun by my side while at home. You never know. God Bless.
The ones who make fun will be the next victims...
Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Unfortunately, I can really empathize with you. Shortly before moving from Ontario to Florida, in my Canadian home I also endured a home invasion. I wasn't tied up. A knife was held to my throat while the other guy ransacked the house. What saved me was my St. Bernard who would not stop barking. Through the window lights could be seen going on at the neighbors houses. One of them was a well known local lawyer who was known for calling the police. They left in a panic and I was fortunate to live through this. As in your case this event turns into a learning experience. Here in Florida the gun laws are different. The first person that ever tries to get in my house uninvited will find themselves in a pine box. I won't even say anything or ask questions, I'll just pull the trigger. I know that sounds cold and cruel. But these guys mean business and they waste no time in attempting to accomplish their task. You came through that very well, but it will stay with you the rest of your life as it has with me. I wish you the best.
Harold Bullock good for you for wising up and getting/ intending to use your legally owned firearm next time shit rolls into town
Home invasions are rare in the US.
GB Spence III
They're more rare than Canada, Britain and other places but they do happen.
EPLURiBusUNUM
Without a doubt 1000%
misty black are you talking per capita? Cuz that's the only statistic that matters when comparing countries crime. Britain has quite a large number more home invasions than U.S. per capita, they don't call then home invasions though like we do because they try to down play it like its not a big deal despite it being one of the more heinous kinds of robbery.
They call them "hot burglarys" in Britain, meaning the home owner is home when somebody breaks in, and is threatened with violence and attacked while being robbed. By any definition you choose, that's a straight up home invasion.
and people want to remove guns in america PFFFFFFFFFF!!!! This is why we "NEED" guns!
GoldWing yea 12,000 to 16,000 people are killed by fire arms each year BUT 500,000 to 3,000,000 PEOPLES LIVES ARE SAVED BY THEM. Good job guns
Exactly...
Remove elephants from the streets too, they kill up to 5 MILLION PEOPLE EVERY YEAR! IT'S A COMPLETE MADNESS

You are a brave woman. Period. That you lived through the incident, kept your wits about you, and chose to tell your story on your own terms, and no one else's increases your bravery. I hope during the past seven years that you've found both healing and a sense of peace over this incident. You certainly deserve that, and much, much more. Know that you're an inspiration to me.
You are so strong, thank you for being brave enough to share this horrific experience with us! I hope that the more you tell it, the less it hurts you.💖
It's great because as Canada grows, it becomes a bigger and bigger example of what we actually need guns.
It's funny because she survived and if they were armed as well as her she probably would have died. Also the murders obviously happened after the criminals found the guns they were looking for. They would have had an easier time if guns were legal.
Also, guns could have saved her. If they wanted to kill her, they would have. A sledgehammer can kill a tied up person just as easy as a gun can.
Hydraphel HD They indeed didn't want to kill her. Why would they? She wasn't armed.
clickhead they just wanted to beat her ass, humiliate her, and take her shit. They'll be back to do it again, and who knows, maybe next time they will decide to take her life. Fun game, isn't it?
MisterSinister Guns can solve that problem pretty easily.
If you ever need a reason to home carry....
you're not allowed to defend yourself in Canada, and you have to keep your gun and ammo in separate safes in separate rooms
You have two choices: Home Cary with the gun and ammo together and risk the local or RCMP knocking on your door.
Or, beg the criminal (who by definition does not obey the law) for mercy which they are under no obligation to give you any. Meanwhile. us "Crazy Americans" will continue until the bitter end as President Obama puts it, "Cling to our guns and religion."
discipled one i'm american as well
Then you know that the two choices I've described in the previous response are true.
The choice WILL be made. It is only a question of who makes it - the victim or the criminal.
+Kane16802 I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Something like this almost happened to me many years ago. I'll just let you know what I've learned over the years. The most important thing I can say is answering your front door requires a procedure. Your front door is a point of breech and it is a point that can change the balance of power because inside the house are all your valuables, family, and privacy. The way to handle a knock at the front door to quickly look who it is. Once you identify who it is, then you want to see them walk away. When they get away from your front door and are about 20 feet away from your front door it is then, and only then that you are safe to open the door and ask them "What do you want?" If they start to move in the direction of the front door you then instruct them to "stop, tell me from there." They should obey all your commands and tell you why they are there from that safe distance. If they insist on coming closer to talk to you, then close the door and don't open it. The problem with someone at the front door is they they can push in the front door when you answer it. They other problem is that they can simply stick their foot between the door and the door jamb and you will not be able to close it. The only way you eliminate this is is to have them no where near the door when you answer it. Never open a door if you can not close it. The last problem with not answering your front door is criminals often use knocking at a front door as a test to see if anyone is home. Not answering it is often a sign you are not home so the best thing to do is to go ahead and let them know you are ignoring them by turning on the stereo. Play some music that will give them the impression it is someone that might be displaced to fight. Playing classical music and they might think its a little old lady at home. Play something like John Fogerty" run through the jungle" and they might think you're a bubba with a mean disposition. Play some Marilyn Manson "beautiful people" and they might think twice about messing with you. Anyway, don't answer your front door unless you'll have all the cards in your favor and that means you choosing those conditions. Best wishes.
It also helps if you have a wrought iron storm door that's locked. Two benefits:One, you can open the inner door without too much worry about someone just rushing in. Two, they'd have to break the storm door before they can kick the inner door in. That noise and time it would take gives you a chance to prepare...
I have cameras
jesus i can think of a word that you are. it starts with a P and ends with a Y.
@@d1w1c1 I am thinking I don't like your comment but then again maybe I missed something and what I think you said is not actually what you said.
I solved the problem by not answering the door and only answering the phone if it is somebody I know all others go too voicemail where I get too decide if I even want too talk too them. And for the bad guys, it is a very flimsy door and the millions of dollars and jewels I keep under the couch. Come and get it. Ha! Ha! Ha!
I realize this is 4 years old, but being a survivor of a recent Home invasion thanks to my pit bull who was not so fortunate, my question is how did you get sleep after an event like that?
Get a Gun, Get Trained , Protect yourself and yours.
Dogs. The power of dogs...
I'm sorry about what happened to you and I'm glad that you were ok considering all things. This is something I preach over and over again to many people. Don't ever assume you are safe from criminals and from violence regardless of your peaceful lifestyle, regardless of where you might live or where you may go. I also fall under the category of unlikely victim because of my lifestyle and circumstances, yet I've also been victimized. I had one break in robbery at one home when I was away from home and one violent armed assault on the street, one block away from another previous home. I was with my young child at the time, she was not hurt and I was also fortunate and walked away from it with minor injuries. But it changed my perspective about security. It bewilders me how many people honestly believe something like that could NEVER happen to them. After my unfortunate last incident I got very wise and prepared on home security, on alertness and awareness and on becoming legally armed. Since, one individual tried to break into my current home in the middle of the night as we slept but was scared off by my security system. Just the automatic motion detection lights and him noticing the security cameras all over my property scared him off as he was beginning his attempt at a break in. Got a very nice recording of his face. If he had continued to try and break in, he would surely have noticed the difficulty in breaching my reinforced door and doorway. Furthermore, had he broken in through a window or some other way, he would have triggered the interior and exterior alarm and woken up all my neighborhood. He would have still been recorded by my inner security system and most importantly... would have met with well executed and planned armed resistance. Yes, we have a break in emergency plan in place and firepower that would make a military squad jealous. I'm retired ex milirary, I tried to.live a life away from firearms and my old soldier mentality, but the evil that walks this world has made it clear, at least to me, that that is not an intelligent decision or wise luxury these days. Most recently, and once again unfortunately, we were once again targeted by someone while we were coming out of a local grocery store and headed to put our groceries in my vehicle. Huge difference is.... as I mentioned earlier, I practice awareness and alertness and I'm always prepared and armed except where prohibited by law. So I noticed immediately that we were being targeted and before that idiot even had the opportunity to make his move I had pretty much diffused the situation without even needing to draw my firearm. I am very fortunate to live in a state where my right to arm and defend myself is honored and protected! Point of this entire narrative is that no one should feel that they are beyond the reach of evil. It is best to practice preparedness, awareness, alertness and if possible, responsible armed defense. Don't let yourself be an easy victim to cowardly predators that roam our streets. Lastly, I keep a fence and gate between my home and the street. I know that is not possible in some neighborhoods because of silly restrictions, but I also look before I answer my gate or door and I always answer with a concealed firearm, if I don't like the person I politely tell them to take a hike! 😀 God bless and stay safe!
It's been a few years now and I hope all is well with you. I must say, your composure in this video is remarkable. Many women would be in tears, but your strength shines through. I'm very impressed.
Glad you made it out alive! Such a traumatic experience won't be easy to deal with. I wish you the best on your recovery.
I cherish our second amendment
ThachosenJuan21 the second amendment is the most important of all, is the one that protects the other ones...
I walk the earth today because at the age of 18 I owned a bad dog and a bad gun. No law will ever make me give up either.
THERE IS NO SECOND AMENDMENT IN CANADA. Genius.
Keith Robinson, he was speaking from an American point of view. He sees that happen in Canada so he's saying he's grateful we have the right to arm ourselves over here. In other words, if we just watched a video from the middle east about some guy being stoned to death for saying something bad about god, I can respond with "I cherish our 1st amendment".
Blue really seems to be working out well for the USA. You have a gun and so does everyone else.
She was completely at the mercy of her attackers. She is lucky to be alive. Her "thinking" in going along with the attackers had nothing to do with her being alive. Answer the door with your gun in hand. Oh wait, it's Canada....🤔
We can own guns if we want; don't be so uneducated. 99% of the population up here would never need one, smarten yourself up.She made some wrong decisions.
SHE'S AT THE MERCY OF THUGS

@@adrianwilson4197 you need help
@@hilaryc3203 Yes, you can own a gun, but it can't be loaded, must be locked in a case with a trigger guard. Not much use, so what is your point? If you illegally, had a loaded gun at the ready, and shot the intruder, you would be charged and convicted, in Canada. The police don't protect you, they call your next of kin, after the fact, and then try to catch the bad guys. That's not a knock on the police, as they can't be everywhere, and proactively prevent this type of situation from occurring. Canadian law simply protects the criminal.
@@gweislein Given that the majority of Canadians don't need a loaded weapon in their homes or on their persons, who cares?
I realize that I'm only 4 and half years late to comment. Lol. But seriously, I'm grateful to God that you're alive and left with fewer blows to the head than most I've heard of in the past. Thank you for having the courage and devotion you have to teaching others with your resources, including your horrific experience in this situation. May God bless and keep you safe! Please make sure you bundle under your belt the art of self defense, even the use of firearms along with the necessary and adequate training and continuous practice so as to develop it into muscle memory. Bare in mind that there's no such place as "safe-place", except one you've trained, equiped, and prepared in!
I know this is an old post but I just accidentally came by it. You are so brave. I was riveted to the screen as you spoke. I truly feel for you. You’re amazing. I hope you’re doing well.
Well much respect for putting this out there even though it makes you look very naive. Hopefully people who think like you used too will use it as a learning tool. Women who are alone should NEVER answer the door and ALWAYS be armed.
This is Canada, you're not legally allowed to be armed. There's much more of a process to even get your firearms licenses than in the states. Self defense is literally not a valid reason to obtain a firearm here.
Canada sucks.
+Billy
Umm you technically are. Its highly restricted and practically pointless but still possible none the less. You are allowed to have firearms you just have to do a somewhat complicated process of getting a license or license' if you're lucky. It is not written that you may use it as self defense, however, the law states you ARE ALLOWED to use deadly force if necessary. Not specifying if you can use a firearm or not if i recall. But keep in mind you are doing so at risk of fine/imprisonment as the verdict for you doing so is based on a case-by-case basis........
You're right. The Criminal Code does specify that you are entitled to use lethal force if you have very good reason to believe that your life, or the life of someone else, is in immediate danger. However, it doesn't specify that you are not allowed to use a firearm in applying that lethal force. The major question the courts ask, figuratively speaking, when trying to rule on self-defence cases is, "Was the force used as a self-defence measure appropriate for the kind of threat that was posed?"
Steve Struthers "The Criminal Code does specify that you are entitled to use lethal force if you have very good reason to believe that your life, or the life of someone else, is in immediate danger". This is all good and everything but if a person does not have a way of protecting themselves?, then what damned good is a Code?????. If the government takes away your ability to defend yourself the point you try and make is moot, if one has been killed that person's rights don't really matter, does it?.
22 years old and just picked up my mf glock 19 gen 4. Heard it was a really reliable gun and it felt the best in my hand holding it. Have to protect myself and my loved ones.
Christopher, I favor the gen 4 over the gen 5 as well. I never aspired to own a "plastic" gun, but after shooting several Glocks I bought a G-19 gen 4. However, my go to carry gun is still my 5 shot J frame S&W revolver. If you do not know about Hickok45 on CZcams, search for him & Glock models, etc.
Protect you from what do they not have cops were you live .
Eoin-the-drone may have cops, but a lot can happen while the 911 operator asks you 3 or four times your address, and then the cop ( doing his job) still has to get to you from wherever he/she is!
@@eoin4768 you are kidding right ?
@@eoin4768 I live in a suburb in South Texas if I'm lucky the police response is 5 minutes, so if some scum bag is trying to break in and I don't have a gun I have to delay them for 5 minutes, if I have a gun just pop them in the gut if I'm feeling generous and that delay is a lot easier to handle, not only that but a lot of cops suck at there job most of them don't train with there firearms or even hands so if you think I'm gonna put my life in the hands of some pasty gelatinous dildo who is only doing it for a pay check rather than making the community better then well you are very wrong
Strong, brave, amazing...none of those words are powerful enough to properly describe you.
My sincere condolences for your ordeal... I am very glad that you are okay!... These are things that I try to teach my two daughters... I just never thought I would see the results of something like that on here. May God bless you and keep you...
Why were you "grateful there wasn't guns in the house"? They had a sledgehammer and threatened to bash your skull in ... wtf would a gun have done negatively in your situation. I truly hope you take some safety classes and get a personal firearm. This is the perfect situation on how a gun could have saved your life. You had plenty of warning something was amiss so you had plenty of time to prepare your weapon just in case. Not saying you deserved this, but there are preventative measures.
On second thought and reading more of the comments. This was totally preventable and you have only your ignorance to blame.
In Canada if you use a firearm to kill a murderer YOU go to prison.
If one must kill a murderer then no one needs to know it ever happened.
Thank God you're still around.
The story leading up to it says it all. Shady character making multiple visits. Bells and whistles going off.
A crime due to whatever the homeowner is involved in. The guy choking you was not doing it to practice his MMA skills, he was going to kill you. Only stopped by the one of the gang with any kind of common sense. Sadly, that common sense ran out of the next victims. Move back to a Free state.
Prayers for you and the healing process!! Stay positive, your right - your alive!!
I have to know, when you said: "no diversity" to go with that's were people go to raise their kids. I must know, do not like ethnic people? or were you not paying attention to what you were to saying? Not really racially sensitive, but caught that right away. Canada is not known for racial discrimination. Nor, did I experience any.
+Jasen Bernahl I was using that to explain the neighbourhood. Really had nothing to do with me being racist. I was trying to paint a picture for anybody who doesnt know the area. Like you said, canada is not known for racism, I would not have even thought it would come across that way. Not sure how else I could have painted the picture.
I see. However, you could have left that part out. It helps a lot & allows people to have complete sympathy for U. I'm sorry about what happened.To handle your PTSD, I recommend using hypnotherapy. But, go more than the therapist suggests. I noticed a lot of nervous ticks, when you were describing your experience. I'm also sure you're not sleeping well either. Remember, U handled everything right. U weren't killed, or raped nor were U abducted & sold into human trafficking. God bless, & stay strong. :)
+Jasen Bernahl this video was intended for my friends and family, so no I didnt need to spend hours editing it while I was high on pain killers and trying to put my life back together, the media picked up this video which is why it has so many views. I dont feel that I need to explain myself to anybody. But next time I am in a crisis situation I will keep your editing advice in mind.
It wasn't my intention, to cause you to feel attacked. I simply was trying to reach out. No one, reached out, when it happened to me. I've been through this a little over 10 times, in both ethnic & Caucasian areas. The steps I took to recover, were long, hard, and pride swallowing. Considering I'm a man, that is. The point I was making, was to help you cope and start recovering stronger. What I learned in church, and in my own experiences. Is that, there is always worse that's happened to others. Your crisis was similar to mine. Except, you were not raped. Nor, did you witness anyone else raped, murdered, or abducted never to be seen again. If you think I don't know where you're coming from, & how you feel. I'm not going on a racial bullshit rant. Absolutely not, and I'm sorry. I'm actually trying to help. The next few years are going to be hard for you. But, you will recover, I'm praying for you. Again, God bless :(
Jasen Bernahl shut the fuk up. fuck diversity and fuck crybaby liberal douchebags and this is the perfect example of why you should own a gun.

canada btw
Yeah Canada is so fucked that if you shoot someone that is trying to murder you/break into your house YOU go to prison. And guns aren't even very hard to get there legally it's just illegal to use them for self defense.
I won't even open the door if a stranger knocks. I'll speak to him/her through a window. Many have died opening doors to strangers.
Wouldn't have opened the door at all. Make use of those barriers people. Don't sacrifice a defense if you don't have to.
Like the idiot who gets out of the car to deal with someone showing signs of road rage.
Keep the door closed and if they don't take a hint call the cops. I'd rather be thought a pussy than have to prove otherwise by taking a life. Unless I have no choice. Like they break a window.
In Canada I can u equal force to defend yourself. If they have a gun u can use a gun.
Thank Trudeau for this.
Meanwhile Trudeau has armed security with him everywhere he goes.

"I was robbed and assaulted and had no means to defend myself. THANK GOD I HAD NO MEANS TO DEFEND MYSELF. #BTWGUNSRBADIHATEGUNS."

Katjuscha I also keep a gun on my person, which is even more important.
Think before you speak idiot. She said that because if they found a gun they would've killed her with it, and she didn't say she doesn't support guns dumbass
+Snowm4nMj And offered no logic as to how she came to that conclusion. Why would a gun in her home have made a difference in their decision not to kill her? They would have stolen it for sure, but if they were going to kill her, they would have anyways.
Maniac742 Would you be thinking that in that situation? Their intention was to rob them and kill her afterwards, so yes. If they did find a gun they probably would've shot her, just like they did to 2 men after the robbery in a gas station. So please research before you come to your conclusion and assume she hates guns.
I have no idea who you are lady but my respects go out to you for being so brave and talking about it the way you did.
Don't know you, came across your video randomly, I have two similar stories unfortunately. The feeling of helplessness is hard to forget. Take the emense negative feeling and turn it into a ball at your core to fuel something good. Now there is so much good to come. Glad you're ok, thank you so much for sharing.
Imagine if everyone had a gun and it was a well known fact... Would robberies even take place???
Yes and murder and strife and all kinds of sins.
Think of the countries that have nukes. They continue to steal from each other. But the understand the consequences for using them, except bonespurs in chief
Good question. Here is the facts. When America had ZERO gun laws and when it was normal to see everyone including kids to own guns, we had zero problems. No school shoot-ups or anything. Kids use to bring their shot guns to school and the teacher would lock them up until the kids left school. It was normal for everyone to own guns. At that time crime was the lowest in America. AS SOON as they started creating some gun laws is when crime rose. When Bill Clinton banned AR 15 style guns, crime rose like crazy. When Bush came in he got rid of that gun ban and crime dropped like a rock over night. People get it backwards. They think "well banning guns will solve all the problems" when it wont, when facts show it will actually make it worse.
Yeah
Yes, but how many would be completed.
Funny how every one is anti gun till reality sets in with how the real world is and no matter how safe you think are then boom !Reality check.
Because anti gun works in anti gun countries. Knife vs knife, you'll have a much bigger chance of winning, or finding something else to fights with, but a gun, if the person wants to kill you, it's basically game over.
Anti gun is by far the best, HOWEVER, I think it's best people keep their guns in countries like USA, since you can't filter out all those weapons anyways just impossible with those amounts. But really, no fucking reason to implement guns into a country which doesn't have it already, that's just stupid.
On the contrary, thieves find a way to carry a gun and then leave you without a chance to defend yourself. Anti gun laws are EVIL!
You think grandma with knife vs linebacker with knife has a better chance than grandma with gun vs. linebacker with gun?
Think before you type.
ostin bambino, Macdonio Oliveir, Outrider
I know it wasn't obvious to you all. But I was referring to knife vs gun (The thief having the gun, in case that wasn't obvious either) is worse than knife vs knife. And you might still think it's better with gun vs gun, and sure it might be, but reality is that in many (some?) countries, people do not have access to it, and the robbers will arrive with alternatives that you might be able to avoid easier than a bullet. I know you guys are all mad because I don't think any country should have weapons available for any civil person. It's not that I don't like the weapons themselves, and I see for the people who has it as a huge hobby, that's really sad they wouldn't be able to pratice that hobby anymore. And sure you could do a lot of damage with a knife, and it won't run dry on ammunition. But looking at the bigger picture, it's just really not good with guns in the the streets whether it be private or public, because we all know where those weapon will end up anyways.
Sure if you want them enough, you can get them. Just an example, there's has literally never been a school shooting (Not that they're common in the US, but they're there) in the country that I live in. And it's simple why, because guns are much more rare here, and you won't get them as a single psycho living at home. You'll need to be a gang or something similar and those things will be in all countries no matter what.
I think it's stupid to think guns will solve all the problems. But like I said earlier, it's too late to change it in countries that has billions of them scattered all over the country already.
Just explain to me why you think guns should be available in a country which has never had guns available to the civil people before?
That's all I want to know, because that's what you all say. I already said it's too late to do something about it in the US or similar situations, so I there's no reason to keep discussing about whether or not to remove them in US. I don't think they should be removed there, but NO reason to put them into societies that has never had it before. It will only make more problems, and the people in those countries probably won't know how to respect the guns and it will end up making a huge chaos.
mich977f ..The most ignorant comment I've seen in a long time. SMH
Thank you for sharing this. You have probably helped many people protect themselves by doing so. You seem to be a strong person and I hope this only makes you stronger. I will be praying for you! May the Lord bless and keep you!
The self defense is nothing more than a false sense of security and a joke. Alternately, a gun, with a finger on the trigger, is spot on.
This is why I carry even inside my own home. Some people call me paranoid but I bet this woman wished she had the (legal) ability to defend herself. My understanding is that it's illegal to use a gun for self-defense in Canada, thats asinine. Hope the woman in the video is doing well.
You cannot use a gun for self defense in Canada. Anybody that has, has gone to jail and been on trial.
Tabourba maybe you should STFU! I said they go on trial so you post a link saying there is a trial. Wow! Genius! It took almost 3 years for the murder trial around this case so I would sit in jail for three fucking years while they decide it's ok.
Sending prayers that you heal quickly physically and mentally.
So sorry you had to experience this.
Also glad they were identified.
Very sorry this happened to you... but you're one tough cookie. Cheers for keeping your head in the game and surviving! I hope you get justice!
In america we love our guns. There is bad with the good. But these home invasions wont just happen like it did here and there must be more than just 2. Why?
Because there is more of a chance there is a gun in the house and that gun would expire atleast 1 to 2 of the guys.
My little sister, well she is now 25 but was 19 at the time when we all left to go to the river. Well she stayed behind to catch up on school work (college work)
when 2 guys did almost the same deal. Short story she dropped both guys with our pistols. One survived but doing years now.
Guns are good for everyone. Its the bad ones with guns who we need to work on
I failed when i commented to say that i am glad and happy you came out ok. Although you was hurt you have your life. Those basturds didnt go unseen. God see everything and nothing can be hidden from him. He will intervene in this life or after. Either way they will be punished as God promised us that revenge is for him to give out. Thay he is our avenger and will see to that they pay for your pain. Thank you for sharing this video and raising awarness. Take very good care?
United States still has a higher amount of burglaries per 100.000 population than Canada, so obviously guns aren’t so much of a deterrent!
@@Curonianviking Oh, Tad! Take a little lesson in cause and effect. On one side, Canada has less crime (generally) because of the economy...And because the mentality there is somewhat more civilized (generally). On the other side, if you're talking about ROBBERY or other violent crimes against people, guns have little to do with the inspiration of the act. Just the RESPONSE to the crime and the criminal. Thankfully, if ever the terrible time comes that I have to use them, I'll be better off off for having my training and the tools to protect my family...But your jump to blaming firearms or any other inanimate object for an elevated crime rate brings the anti-gun argument to a new (and might I say "moronic") low.
They confiscated guns from lawful owners in South Africa and gave them straight to the gangsters.
Tad Rutkevich yes, we do. If you notice the stats though, a burglary in the US is considered a different crime than home invasions. We have much lower rates of home invasions compared to places such as England, which of course has more gun control. I would rather lose my stuff than my life, but that’s just me.
Glad you made it thru with only some bruising but I really have to say that I find it odd the way you put the comment in there about your friend that you stay with for 6 months "refusing" to help you with your medical bills. 1) I can't believe you would ask him to. 2) He didn't do this to you and offered to return home when you called him. 3) You don't know what HIS financial situation is and may not be in a position to help. It also seems that you were "bugging" him about it as he stopped answering your calls. I feel that your comment about "gunshine State of Florida" is some type of snide remark. I happily live in Florida and it doesn't matter where you live, or how small and homey your town is, violence can happen ANYWHERE. BTW, my doors aren't locked and one remains open all the time - nobody wants to tangle with 7 pits and I don't fear anything but if I had been in your situation, I never would have answered the door the 2nd time let alone the 3rd time - well, not unless I was holding onto a double-barrelled shotgun or a pistol and any attempt to enter noises would have been met with lead. Also, by speaking THROUGH the door (you don't these people - even if it was your friends best-buddy from HS), you can some things that might given them pause -- like, "hold on a sec, I have to put the dog in the other room for a minute because he's wanting to get out" then make a few noises like you are doing so, if it's tile floor, make some scratching noises, talk low and soft like you would to a dog, saying something you would to a pet - "Go lay down on the couch", etc. I realize this is an old video, but now you know why we respect our guns in Florida.
I'm glad you're ok as well. My cousin wasn't so lucky. She passed away at just 23. She was a teacher & lifeguard in California in 2006. I'll never forget as we tried to stay connected & would call often even long distance 4h flight away from MSP-LAX or a 3d AmTrak trip. I still miss her & her picture on my wall.
Bless your heart sweety. You were brave I would have lost it. I am so sorry this happened to you.
i also endured a home invasion by 2 tweekerz so i can only say im so sorry for what happened to U however, i would NEVER EVER open my door to 2 strange men and i always lock my doors alone or not.
Chris Gilliam what does that have to do w/my comment?
Chris Gilliam no, i didn't cuz when they we'r knockin on my front door i wouldn't open it so they broke into the upper part of the house and squatted till the cops came, as for me i kept ALL the doors locked and never opened them.
For some reason we have no home invasions at all in my all white country. May be because we didn't let the Jews to tell us what is right and what is wrong.
John Connor what do "Jews" have to do w/home invasions? and plz don't answer!
And they call me paranoid because I carry a loaded gun in my flat and because I sleep surrounded by weapons like Joker...
Chris Lorri he may live in an area where he can't do that. In Canada I think it's actually a crime to carry anything for self defense all the way from guns to a pocket knife. I think it is legal to carry a sword you just can't have intent to defend yourself. Then you have places like California where you can carry a gun openly as long as it's unloaded so it's less than worthless being the moment someone takes it they are effectively armed once they get ammunition for it
I know its been a while. Im very glad you are still alive. Hope youve moved on and that all is going well.
Canada seems really nice but I won't leave the United States for anything
Canada fucking sucks, count yourself fortunate you live in the States. Not that the USA is perfect either, but at least there's something you can do about it when people are fucking with you.
U better get u a gun. And stop advertising your home over the Internet.
@OPERATIONS (AZ)(TX) When I heard that I thought whack job.
I was home invaded on my birthday with my bf and cat. I got away with a machete to the head and my foot getting stomped on. My bf gave me an opening so i could escape, he got tossed around but ended up tossing one of the guys through a wall and dearmed the other. Both where high on meth and the sad part was they were 16 and 17. Both are charged and going to prison the moment they turn 18. I understand the fear and how it can leave you mentally scarred. I cant sleep right anymore in fear they will break down my door again. I was diagnosed with ptsd shortly after and had to go to therapy for my foot. Im thankful i survived. Thank you for sharing your story.
Get a firearm
Guess what when they turn 18 there record starts over they be back out in no time
Misha, I also had a home invasion when I was around 15 and it definitely does leave a mental scare, but you cannot let what happened to you bring you down be proactive take some self defense classes and ready your mind for what ever may come your way. I wish you luck in your physical and mental recovery. : )
Oh my god! How's the cat?
Misha unfair fir that to happen to you, move house or state if you I can I’ve heard that very much helps
I pray for your healing. May this not define who you are. You are a survivor. Thank you for sharing your story. Much love to you. You are a lovely and courageous woman.
Wow that's scary. I'm so sorry that you were subjected to this. I commend you for
keeping such a cool head. I'm glad that you
weren't severly injured. Bless your heart!
May God bless you and keep you. 💜
I NEVER open my door...EVER!
ButtHorn 1911 1911 Tanks! 😘.
Whaddaya leave through the window?
Ricardo montalban the sewer...
"Thank God there were no guns in the house" I am happy you survived and will heal. But when will you people learn.
you mr. are an idiot!
No, you are.
Guns had nothing to do with this situation. The intruders weren't armed, and she was never in a position where she could have used a firearm. In she was armed and they also were, she probably would have ended up dead.
clickhead Or if she was armed and they weren't, they would have ended up dead.
SexJunkle Had she been living in a place where owning firearms is legal, she would have had a gun and the criminals would have as well. Which would have probably resulted in a shootout. Which probably would have resulted in her getting shot and killed. It's common sense.
Am from Lakeland, Florida, and am so so sorry that happened to you! My god you so lucky to be alive god bless you hope you feel better. I just bought a home defense shotgun and after watching your video am glad I bought it.
Polk County baby 863 💪😁
Please get out and practice even if you feel safe with it can't say it enough PRACTICE
HIGH SPEED CHASE IN A HONDA ELEMENT? I DON'T THINK SO. 🤔
Some of those minivans are faster than you think.
On ice....
They were in a 15 MPF zone and the RCMP were on their horses of course.
I personally own a crappier version, 98 honda CR-V, I have seen it to 120mph... Speed builds.
Perhaps if the fridge alarm didn't spook them it could have ended far worse.
