Police said Gahetan Jean-Louis walked into a Laurel Street home uninvited Saturday night and was confronted by the homeowner, who asked him if he was in the wrong house or needed help.


They said Jean-Louis attacked the homeowner with a knife.

i cannot find the news video, but a guy was released, on bail, and ordered to get a mental health evaluation.....

he only stabbed someone.........maybe that's why he got out, being a mental defective..??

if i can find the video, i will post it...

it was on channel 12 news just yesterday i believe
 
Just got back from Seattle on a visit to see the Son and Grandson for Christmas. Fortunately he lives sin one of the burbs but Seattle like many blue cities in blue states is off the hook.

This happened when we got there a mental guy with multiple arrests walking free attacks and blinds an elderly woman.

Then nationwide skne dipstick influencer got busted handing out machetes and alcohol or homeless people for his YouTube channel because he thinks something’s funny.

We have declined to a bad place where some think this is funny

Be aware carry a firearm and OC everywhere especially a firearm at home

Terrible.

I wonder here what kind of neighborhood this occurred in, what neighbors are around, those are questions I have about what happened.

Home invasion type incidents appear to me to generally be in poorer neighborhoods, or am I just dead wrong here?

partially. We have them in "poor neighborhoods, middle class, upper middle class and exclusive areas. I suspect that is mostly accurate for much of the country. Pro-tip - Carry or have at the ready when home, always.

They happen to every walk of life and every area.
Look at city crime maps at any major suburb/city online at the PD’s website. Home invasion is not discriminatory

i know what i am about to say will rub many the wrong way.....

but i will continue to advocate for "blasting them on sight"

no arrest, no bail, no court, just do away with these arseholes once and for all.

they (to me) have no rights to be on the streets.

its the civil rights of the victims, and the law abiding citizens, that must be protected.

never the "well known" and "arrested several times"......thugs.

Since I do a fair amount of local criminal defense work, I have more of an insider track to crime "stats" than the average citizen. Stuff like home invasions does happen - in my neck of the woods - more often among the economically challenged and is perpetrated by those with prior contacts with law enforcement. Sure, that's not to say you don't have some one-offs, like the scum that catches the elderly couple at the local ATM and follows them home and perpetrates an assault and robbery.

Sadly, crime is everywhere. But home invasions are rarer. Mental illness is also a reality too. I can get a front-row seat to that at my local Wal Mart!

Be alert. Be vigilant. Be armed. Be on the lookout for your neighbor's safety too.

We keep a Winny 1300 8-shot Defender by the master bed, but either of us could reach it in a snap if need be.
Small neighborhood, and lots of friendly neighbors - we all look out for each other and help. It's layered security.

What’s your take on what I see is the majority (like 80 plus percentage) of home invasions here are by drug dealers/criminals against drug dealers/criminals.

Which goes with Tom Givens (Rangemaster) advice if you don’t deal dope or get involved in criminal gang stuff you increase your odds of not being a victim.

Does that seem to be the case in your practice?

But there are some crazies out there no doubt!

You would think people from Fall River would know that you're not safe at home.

No I'm going to say what I always say when this topic comes up.

We don't live in a town, that means we dont have a local Police Department.

We have coverage from the County Sheriff's Department but they might be 50 miles away covering another call.

So, as I've mentioned several times previously, I put on my gun when I put on my pants and when I switch to my PJs the gun goes on the coffee table.

Yes, I would agree. In Alabama, few drug cases result in prison for any measurable amount of time for the convicted - they almost always get probation. Then they wind up back on the street and before long, practicing their customary habits which means stealing to fund those habits, most often from fellow addict/users.

The same with property crimes - few are truly random. It’s a viscous cycle. Perps steal from perps.

But yes, there are some true crazies out there!
I am always practicing my situational awareness because I’m on the other end of the criminal justice see-saw from law enforcement.

I've never seen an exterior door on a home that didn't have a lock!

If an uninvited type gets past a locked door, I doubt they walk out......

For time frame I was born in 1965 and I left home in 1983.

I don't know why but neither my grandparents nor my parents ever locked their home.

My father lived in an apartment building in Omaha and I was over there visiting once and I walked up to his apartment and I got the floor wrong. And walked into the neighbor Underneath his apartment. Whoever that was they didn't leave their apartment locked up either.

And then there was the Amber Geiger case in Dallas

I remember driving home from Fort Carson to my mom's house in Omaha several times and showing up in the middle of the night and finding the door unlocked. I want to clarify that nobody had any idea I was coming home.

I'm fairly certain that at least once I came in, locked the door behind me, went to my old bed and went to sleep and my mother didn't even know I was in the house until the next morning.

I'm fairly certain that it wasn't until I was in the army that it became a habit for me to lock my stuff up.

My first Duty station in Germany my room in the barracks was on the second floor and when I went to work one day I left my window open for fresh air.

I got dinged on it. My defense was who's going to climb up the side of the building in broad daylight to sneak through my window.

My Platoon Sergeant agreed with me and still had to give me a ding because regulations said the window had to be secured if I wasn't in the room.

The point of that long story is that even though my home is never been broken into it became a habit for me to lock my doors.

Even out here where my nearest neighbor is literally a bull, we keep the doors locked.
