The Brew Board website wants to buy this guy's killer a beer. We couldn't agree more that, if ever there is a case where someone needs to be put down for someone else's self defense, this is arguably the one...
Apparently, in the wee hours of this morning, wanted sex offender David T. Meyers was found dead in a relative's hallway in Indianapolis, his killer still clutching him by the neck. Police soon learned that Meyers, who was found wearing rubber gloves and carrying rope, condoms, had climbed into the bedroom of a 17-year-old girl whose family is renting the house. The girl immediately screamed-- Meyers ran for it and was tackled in the hallway by the girl's father, Robert McNally. At some point, McNally wrapped his arm around Meyers' neck, eventually draining the life out of him.
The police have not ruled out a heart attack as the cause of death, although we hope that whatever way Meyers died, he suffered all the way.
"If a person breaks into your home, you are justified in using deadly force in defending your family," said Mount. "In this situation, I don't think he was trying to kill him, he was trying to hold him down."
Meyers had served 10 years in prison for criminal confinement and sexual deviate conduct and was wanted in Boone County for failure to register as a sex offender. He was registered as a sex offender in Marion County. [Fox IN]
The story adds that one observer noted that Meyers had family of his own, and therefore it was a lose-lose situation. Our response: fuck him. He gets no sympathy from us... although we are sincerely sorry for his family's loss. Seriously. They shouldn't have had to go through any of this.
