• then quit with the fucking all caps, pissed off or not, all caps signifies screaming

• So the victim (is that the dead guy or the homeowner) was your ex?  not to mention you are yelling at comments that were made well over a year ago.

• I get blamed for enough shit as it is, doesn't matter what color I am, but I won't go online and scream at everyone, I'm innocent... if you don't like what they say about you on here.. do the smart thing, don't read it chalk it up to them spewing bullshit and walk away.  But you won't,you will stay defensive.

• I know you are not getting your point across screaming on the internet or showing your ass threatening people.  And do you really think any of the other people on this site give a shit if you are innocent or not when you act like this, they chalk it up to some crazy woman and won't stop long enough to see what you are saying to start with.

• Seriously though, you wouldnt be mad if people were trying to put the blame on you? Its like fuck the innocent. You dont know anything about the situation but if you were in my shoes you would be hurt too.

I HAVE A FAMILY TO WORRY ABOUT I WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH THAT SHIT FOR NOTHING. FUCK YOU BITCHES.

• After all this time, it WaS not a set up. Spud knew what he was doing. That was def his gun. I love and miss him but the truth is he did it on his own terms. He knew what he was doing.

• What I would like to say over a year later on this matter is I knew spud very well, and I know for a fact it was not a set up, he did it on his own terms ask his bitch baby's mom who tried blaming one of spuds closes friend. Who was literally like a brother to him. She knew he was going to rob this guy. She went along with it. You know who you are. Yes he had made a wrong chose, but everything happens for a reason we are not promised tomorrow, make the right ones today.

• Wow so how bout the so called intruder and the guy were kind of cool but than they found out they were fucking the same bitch NADIA ACRE and the so called intruder went to the guys(homeowner)house (invited) an argument happened and Delvon was stabbd while two other guys were in the house his so called friends Jason(binky) acre n some dude moscow wow i guess the family was right pussy aint worth death n than this dude lied and said he broke in wow than supposably no finger prints on the gun delvon so called had what a big coincidence SOUNDS LIKE A HUGE SET UP TO ME I hope this family fights this

• I'm completely with you WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT. OMG I just read my sentence. I can't stop laughing. Read it, it's funny. Funny, funny. Any way you're right someone breaks into your house and given the chance a person is going to defend themselves, their home and their family. I would do what it takes to protect my own.

• FUCK this crim hoodlum creep. He took a gun in with him, he was on the premises without permission with bad intentions. Accordingly, he got what he deserved. Anybody, family or otherwise of the deceased who think that ANYTHING excuses having broken into someone elses home with a gun is fooling themselves. All of this defending from family members - you all sound as mis-guided as the dead guy. Who gives a fuck what his reasons were? He gambled and he LOST.

• I work with the father of the man who was stabbed and killed, and according to him, his side of the story is different. Obviously, it appears in the article that the man was just defending himself, but who are we to pretend to know exactly what happened? There were only 2 people in the world who knew about what happened, and one of them was killed by the other. I don't know the man's father well, but he's an extremely kind and genuine guy so I can't help but want to beleive him when he says that it was normal for his son to carry a firearm on him most of the time and that he just wasn't the type and had no reason at all to steal from this other guy. Then again, it says in the article that the burglar had a history of gun and drug charges, so who knows.

• That's one way to cut an undesirable visit short.

• Skip what are you like 89? You don't want people to think your a racist. You like to blow your own horn and point out all the things wrong with everyone else. You used your posts to spit hate.You are part of what keeps people from moving forward.Btw I am white.You better wake up and realize we are all americans now pal. There are black men and women dying for America everyday too. As with all the wars that have past. Perhaps you should thank them for you freedom and (freedom of your hateful speech as well) Asshole.

• I knew the guys who these two fools tried to get after in November... lets just say he should be glad life didn't end that night instead. Still one more S**t bag out hiswaiting his turn.

• This piece of shit Crockett tried to break into my friends house with loaded shotguns and got caught just this last November 2009. with his friend ANTONIO ORLANDO BATISTA. Everyone out there that feels bad for these two scum bags obviously never had them come to ther house and stick a shotgun in there face. This guy got we he deserved and i hope his friend BATISTA does too. GET A JOB YOU LOSERS

• Okaaay Skip, I hear what you're saying. BTBig, you and I do not get along on another topic, but I LOVE you're Politics. Assuming Obama is re-elected for another 4 years(Please God, Please)you're right, he already has done more for this country than that War Breeding turd. If I were Obama or any democrat I would not have touch the Presidency with a 10 foot pole after what that money spending, oil hogging idiot stole from the USA.

• Hi Sandy S. I personally do not like the word "Nigger" However it is used everyday in the black community. "Hey Nigger get yo butt over here !"etc etc. Everywhere I have been in an urban environment, this is the case! Blacks feel free to call me a Honky, or Cracker, or White trash ! If I say the nigger word, it is cause for gun play ! Well Fuck these niggers, I have the biggest gun they ever wish to see! Whining bunch of lazy dickwads! Bring your Nigger thug ass to MY house and expect to DIE ! Please this is a request !! Lame ass POS niggers. Better bring a BIG Box to take your bloody dead ass off my property. Please try to steal something first ! I do not think this will be a problem.

• well once again I have to agree with BTBig. Bush will be remembered as the most corrupt lying P.O.S president this country has had to put up with, sense Harding , and Taft. BTW spud dude is your uncle still dead ? Muwhahahahaha You are next if you keep up with this whining lame, Give me a Kiss mentality. STFU get a job and contribute to this society !

• Oh PLEASE! Anyone who sticks up for Bush needs to go directly to the nut house. He should be in a jail cell right next to these people in these stories. He has 2 DUI arrests, a drug charge, blows other countries to bits on a whim, and is as dumb as the woman who called the cops to find her car with her 2 year old in it. But, he was our president instead. This SHOULD be an embarrassing humiliation to all Americans. If Obama does absolutely NOTHING but sit at his desk and get his picture taken for the next 7 years, it will be a trillion times better than what Bush did for this country.

• Skip, I don't like that word or any other word that belittles a person race, but I must say you were right again on this one. I don't see you as a racist really. I think you are sick of the gangs, the punks, different races wanting us( who ever us is) to pay them back for what our great-grandfathers did to their great grandfathers. One of the biggest slave traders were the African leaders themselves. I'm Italian and Irish and what my great grandparents went through was in humane and my parent and I didn't get anything. Bill Cosby talks about blacks and what he see's what the problem is with the black baby-boomers and today's black youth. Mr. Cosby said that they are looking for the easy way out and staying inpovered because of their lack of ambition to educated themselves. The drugs, gangs, have become a generations of a lifestyle. Changing their environment where and who they associate living with or around is the first step.

• Great Political comments ! However this is all about a Black guy that got killed !! HAHAHAHAHA with a toy sword. This story is so funny , it begs description ! You people know how I feel about this ! The "Nephew" in this stream is unbelievable. What a weenie. Your "Uncle" was and I mean WAS a stupid thief, thug wannabe gangster. I am GLAD HE IS DEAD. One less POS to deal with. Nephew, keep your mind set going, and you will be the next dead nigger. Dont like that word ? well fuck you, deal with it. Niggers are Niggers, some are white. However I think you are just a common one ! You think it is OK to call white people: crackers, Honkies, etc. well fuck you and you sensibility when it comes to a name..you will always be Niggers until you front-up and act like people. You are a drain on this country. Please remove the "american" from what you have decided to call yourselves this decade. Until you as a class, get the "BALLS" to . 1. Go to school. 2.Actually learn to read and speak English. 3.give your children home-cooked meals, instead of Mc Donalds crap, so they will not be as fat as your disgusting lard-ass. And get a fuckin job. Because there is coming a time when the rest of the country is going to say ENOUGH, and guess who is going to suffer? do you need two guesses?

• Sandy S. - Couldn't have phrased it better myself. Obama has spent so much time, energy, and money cleaning up the horrible mess left behind as Bush dashed out of the Whitehouse... How we can go from having a budget surplus of 150 billion, to a deficit of 3 trillion before the final tallies had even been counted, without anybody saying a word. But as soon as the effects of that spending were felt, Americans insisted we cinch the belt of America and cut spending. Well we have to spend money to clean up all the crap that HFR did while in office for the past 8 years. Obama is getting the short end of the stick, utilizing precious time in his presidency to clean up Bush's fiasco, and getting blamed for it every step of the way. Comparatively, Bush entered the Whitehouse with a budget surplus, peace within the nation and the world, and a carefully decided budget. He was feeling the result of 8 years of fiscally conservative budgeting and socially liberal regulation as a result of Bill Clinton. Bush didn't make the surplus, he spent it. He managed to ruin all that by the end of his first term, but we hadn't felt the repercussions yet, so we voted him in again. By the time we realized the ramifications of his actions, it was too late, and now we're dealing with them under Obama's administration. It's not fair to blame Obama for Bush's mistakes....(Blame Cheney Instead LOL :)

• Skip, I like what you said I don't really care how you said it you're right. Prog Metal, I took your advise and I Google and your information was just a little off. And the big reason that Obama had to spend the first part of the money was because of the war that Good Old Bush got us into. Sorry if that up- sets anyone this is facts! It's March 20,2009 and Obama has spent around $2,600,000,000,000 dollars so far. This is what he has spent it on: 1.2T on Bailout* (Obama didn't spend this money, George W. Bush did it in the fall of 2008, get your facts straight. It was paid out under Obama but the bailout was done under Bush) George W. Bush's presidency cost the country about $11.5 trillion, if we estimate liberally. Of course, it's debatable how much blame the president should bear. $150 billion surplus disappears!!!!!!!!!!

• Hey Prog Metal, Are you on drugs? Or just dumber than a box of rocks? Your post is so scattered and disjointed as to make it unintelligible. Please get your act together before trying to converse with Humans.

• Hi Linda, Please remind me never to get on your friends lawn !!! LMAO. "Clint Eastwood Movie". Good for him ! There are laws that give extra protection to the elderly just for this reason,(being, young punks targeting the elderly) cowardly bastards, were lucky just to have been hit with a sack of milk. I would have opened an extra-large can of 45. cal. APC whupass on their cowardly young butts. And Yes... I DO have a "concealed carry permit" And I would have shot at least one of them. However when you pull out a Colt 45 Auto. people tend to : Run, Give up, or start to cry. Personally, I like it when they cry! P.S. Your friends cajones are as big as his Heart ! GOOD on Him!!!

• My friend is 81 and he went to the supermarket and bought some items, one being a gallon of milk, and on the way out to his car, some illegal aliens asked him if he had any money and he said yes, then they said give to us, and he said no, they also had their hands in their pockets, so the next thing that happened my friend took the bag with the milk in it and slammed it against one of the guys head "element of surprise" and then pushed the other guy with his palm up against his nose and got him in on of those headlocks where you pass out. Then he got up and just walked to his truck and left.

• MCR, You have contributed Nothing to this dialogue except...... well, I was right... nothing. You are part of the problem. Not part of the solution. P.S. you still are a dipshit Also: Anthony, and BTBig, You both said things in a calmer manner than I have. I do tend to get a bit pissed at times, and this detracts from the conversation. Thank You both. Skip

• Actually, Skip is correct. (Although he didn't say it in a tactful way. But I don't think we can accuse many people on this site of having tact.) Some people are quite semantically challenged and resort to name calling and lashing out at others out of frustration they haven't learned to handle yet. There is a whole culture based around how cool guns and thug behavior are. There was a time when professional sports players were banned when they got arrested. Now they serve 3 days for DUI manslaughter and people whine about them missing practice. Totally irresponsible to our young people. (Obviously by the preceding posts, we've missed the boat on a lot of them.) Also, blacks have a higher rate of heart disease and related illness and a lot of it is due to the cultural diet. Unfortunately, this is hard to change. But sad, I think all races are catching up to them with the obesity problem. I think fast food should be banned too!

• Most of these comments are the real shame of things. Perhaps there is more to this story, perhaps not. If he did break into the house, the homeowner killed no one. Delvon killed himself by the actions he took. We all make choices that create the path we walk in life. If it was a burglary he paid the ultimate price of that choice. Did he deserve to die, not for me to make that call. I wasn't there. Perhaps we would have less crime if we didn't give criminals more rights then those they commit the crimes against. Police can't be everywhere and I would rather see people that stand up for themselves. Why as a society should we not protect what we have worked for. Why should we let those that don't want to be honest take from us. Guess we could just work harder and let them come take it over an over again. Don't think so why should we. When you coddle this part of society and don't make them pay for their mistakes, more look at it and go why don't we do it to. I walk what I call a higher path in life but break into my house to take what I have worked for. Then you'll also get to find out if there is a God or not.

• OK : mcr, I have a bit of anger, and defensive attitudes. However , if you read my posts, I think you would not call, me a racist. I professed a willingness to defend my home and loved ones. I also called out several people on what I believed to be bogus ideas.I notice that YOU have not joined into the conversation, other that to call me names ! Your response to my posts was: 1:Lame, 2:Incomplete. and last of all chicken shit !

• Ummmmm...I'd say just about everything you just said makes you a racist, Skip. So, yes.

• Just a thought: You African-Americans. If you are so fucking proud of being from Africa, Why do you give your kids Faux-French names like Delvon? or Shanika, WTF is that? I did a search of "African Names" and I never found a Shinika, Deleroie,Quadisha, or other such names. Do you come up with these names out of the whole cloth? I bet in 50 years your descendant's will be laughing their asses off. If You Black people wish to be Americans, GET WITH THE PROGRAM !! By this, I mean denounce The Thug CULTURE" that is killing your children. I know you will hate this one! Close the basketball courts, and send these little thugs back to school. And Hold your School responsible for teaching these little kids how to read and write.... AT LEAST ! A complete sentence with out ..."Yall" "Dis" "YO", and "Baitch" would be nice. However I doubt that you people can pull this off. Bunch of whining, Give me everything, lazy,thieving,Racist,drain on society. BAD words? Prove me wrong. Victims my ass. You have made yourselves victims, and I did at one time in my life have hopes that our society would turn around and be one of inclusion. But after MLK was killed, your so called leaders: like Jesse Jackson. Made a mockery of your effort. I will not even mention Al Sharpton. He was and is a Photo-Whore. Obama, Believe it, or not,I Voted for. I am an Independent Liberal. Voting for John McCain would have made me SICK. If you think that it is up to the "WHITE " People to improve your situation, you are sadly mistaken ! Educate your children, quit your sniveling, and work to improve your condition, and in the process the condition of this country ! (Which happens to be Your country also), Until this happens,you will just be , Ex -Slaves, Not African-Americans, just displaced Africans. Join or lose and die as a people. PS Quit getting so fat at McDonalds. Get off your lazy ass and cook for your children, if not for your fat self. Makes me want to ban Fast food for everyone. Do Not give me this shit about Hormones ! It is laziness. Do you wish to tell me that Blacks have Fat Genes ?? ROFLMAO, You are too lazy to go home and cook. fucking lame people. And this article was about a Black man that was a crook and got himself killed. It turned into a thing about race. Look at the statistics ! Why are most of the people in prison Black ? Because they do the most crimes, you dumb assholes ! Plus they are stupid and get killed with toy swords..... ROFLMFAO. Come around my house, break in, then look to your life. Black or White. Does this make me a redneck or racist?

• @ possitive note I find it extremely difficult to take you seriously. Honestly, how can anyone believe anything that you have written? You must be poorly educated. "Like I said 92% white people were I currently live and I see them asking me for money on every corner because in there eye because I do the job better I need." You claim you can work more efficiently (I think that's what he means) and 92% of the white population where you live is unemployed begging for handouts. If that is true, fuck Haiti and lets give handouts all the handouts where you live to the unemployed 92% white population! "BECAUSE EVERY DRUG DEALER I KNOW OF IS A TRAILER TRASH SELLING DRUGS AT THE SCHOOL THERE KID ATTENDS TO MAKE A LIVING WAITING FOR THE ebt CARD TO RELOAD TO BUY AN OUNCE OF HEROINE OR METH BECAUSE THEY CANT GET A JOB. BECAUSE INSTEAD OF TEACHING POSSITIVE LESSONS TO THE FUTURE(KIDS) THEY LEARN HATE." Excellent observation of the black culture. "because the men that robbed our country are white. Cheney Bush ect." Barack Obama spent more in his first 100 days than Bush did in 8 years. Just Google it. "America was taken from the people that created many wonderfull things you can't live without built by Africans that were taken from there families by force by white folks that did it with fear using non other then guns." The Native Americans did create many wonderful things and discovered many things. However, Africans are yet to invent one thing that is in widespread development. Black-americans are yet to invent one thing that is in widespread development. Black-americans did minimal work in the creation of this country. This country was built on the backs of whites and asians. I challenge you to find ONE (1) original invention of black-americans. Trust me, you will find none. You obviously no nothing of the African slave trade if you believe that whites are the only perpetrators and if you believe that all africans were forcefully taken from their families. Many africans willingly traded away their kin. "hitler was white and if u made it pass the 2th grade u would know this. U would know that if America and all its people white black Asian Hispanic. Didn't stop him he would have killed everyone that didn't have blue eyes. Because of the color of ones eye!!!!!!" (read: blah blah blah guilt-trip) Yes, the actions of one man reflect all whites. I wonder what countries allied against him to stop him? Oh, that's right, the predominantly white ones. Where was all of Africa, Haiti, etc on D-Day? "things happen all the time and unless ur sinless u should spend ur time in school so we once again be America the great. Not the great depression" I assume so you can continue to live on YTs' bountiful handout programs in greater wealth. Heed your own advice. Tell your under-educated black people to heed your advice. But of course, we all know that schools are racist, the govt is racist, blacks are oppressed and sheeit. Perhaps if Delvon was robbing your house (read: section 8), taking your possessions that you bought with your hard-earned money (read: govt handout/stolen) you would have attempted to re-educate him and tell him all the lies you just spread to us. Please, take the time to prove me wrong. I am waiting. 15fields15@gmail.com

• To the dumbass who was whining about 'whites hating Obama', YOU do KNOW who voted him in office, RIGHT? Because, it wasn't blacks...Google and knowledge are your friend, ignorance and stupidity are not! "He a good boy" "He changing his life for the better" "He a baby daddy" "He never hurt anyone, wasn't there" "The 'truth' will come out" "Mind your own business" "Don't judge" "He innocent" "You don't know him" All of those quoted are the rants of the stupid family members who come to defend their dumbbell criminal relatives. I've read those OVER AND OVER, guess what I DON'T CARE. Your relative got what they richly deserved, too bad death doesn't come more frequently to those like your 'Uncle'... Take my advice, DON'T BREED!

• Hi Tex, I too am a Liberal From Texas.(the homeland of Reactionary Republicans)I sometimes feel like "A Stranger in a Strange Land". However I can get along with my neighbors, because I respect their right to believe as they wish! And like you,I will protect myself and my loved ones, with deadly force if necessary. What pisses me off is the whining bulls#hit this so called nephew is putting out. The accommodation's that are offered to the Blacks are really just "Politically Correct" appeasements to a overly LOUD whining area of the population. This is one reason the Black community is still enmeshed in poverty,apathy,and hatred. Plus the VERY Antisocial Idea of being a Thug rapper asshole is somehow a good thing.Fuck**g Morons ! Come around my house and break in, I will send you home to your MOMMA in a box that she will not wish to open. TEX said: Hey Kill All Burglers & Home Invaders, you break into my house I'll shoot you to protect my family and property, I don't care what color or religion you are or what party you belong to, and just so you know, I am a liberal independant who proudly voted for and support our duly elected (by a mandate) President. Funny how the Regressives take every chance to spread lies and disinformation about Progressives and Liberals. Liberal = belief in personal freedom. Posted 03/14/2010 at 05:05:47 PM

• Spud got exactly what he had coming.......................a sword through his heart. Stay the fuck out of other peoples homes when you have a GUN. I mean come on...........he didn't care that a dog was there. Everything Spud got.................he deserved.............Fo shizzle.

• This article sure has brought out the idiots. How are you going to turn this into a gun rights issue? Clearly, it's evidence to support SWORD ownership.

• Tactical Advantage..... Just be careful what Wood you chop !! LMAO !! Skip On another note: There is nothing wrong with having weapons in your abode. As long as children do not have access to them. I live alone, I am 60 years old. My only companion is "Frau Hitler the Dachshund" she is the one that made Adolph such a meanie ! Today she is the scourge of squirrels in the neighborhood. "That would Be da hood to you, "Nephew". Eubonics are a waste of time, intellect, and they show the contempt the Blacks have for education. Get a life, then try to get educated ! You "Video game playing, Hanging-out, sport-watching, slacker. It is you and your "Victim Mentality" that is bringing your race into disrepute. Plus the fact that most of the young Black men today think it is cool to be a Gangster. Well, Your Gangster Uncle got himself Killed with a toy sword ! Can you spell "Darwin Award" ? I doubt it ! Dip S#it!

• To the Crockett family: I for one am very sorry for your loss. We all have a lot to learn from Delvon's life. And I think that the most important thing that Delvon had to teach us is that it is seldom a good idea to break into someone's apartment while carrying a pistol. Delvon would still be alive today if he had just stayed home that evening. Think about it.

• For the record, I don't keep ornamental/decorative weapons on the walls or lying about, nor do I own any firearms. I do, however, sleep with my favorite handaxe --usually carried whenever I go camping or hiking-- under my pillow at all times.

• Tactical Advantage- You are right on brotha! Couldn't have said it better myself!

• After reading a lot of gun law and think of the family of the dead guy, I only want to make two points. 1. We should amend the Constitution so that the right to keep and bear arms does include swords, axes, and other melee weapons. 2. If anyone thinks the family of the deceased criminal should press charges, I offer the this counter-argument: The victim of the burglary should be able to sue the deceased burglar's family for any clean-up cost's of his blood staining carpet and/or hardwood floors. I mean, if we're gonna be all sue-happy as a society, everyone should have an equal right to do so.

• Crockett had a gun in someone's home. I'm sure he wasn't there to bake him cupcakes. Damn liberal morons - they are probably strung out on drugs too so they actually sympathize with law breaking nut jobs. Ya steal, ya get stabbed. Sounds pretty simple to me. It's not cool that someone died, it's cool that someone got to defend themselves with this sort of thing happens so often without the real victims ever being compensated.

• I hope that if I ever confront a burglar, I reach one of my guns first ! Not just for the tactical advantage this wound provide, but because, I would not wish to bloody a work of art such as one of my swords. I liked the Idea of "Decorative Baseball bats" that someone proposed earlier !

• One less criminal piece of trash on the world, boo-freaking-hoo. And glad that the homeowner didn't got hurt!

• I personally have 3 Katanas (Real and not decorative) 3 Wakizashi's (again the real deal) 2 pistols and a 12 gauge shotgun. These weapons are in different locations of my apt, all within easy reach.You may accuse me of paranoia, I prefer "Prepared". As concerns this lowlife, he got what he deserved. And this "Nephew" needs to grow up and quit the "We are the Victim. Crap"

• @ Bacon Bully I absolutley follow you, and I understand where you are coming from. As my fist post stated I was just curious where some of the commentors stood if the facts of the case pointed to the homeowner bieng nothing more than an innocent homeowner. I will however be the first to admit alot of what the story DOES'NT say leaves me scratching my head as to the true circumstances of this particular case. I just don't find enouph in this story to really push my Full opinion either way. Suppose the 'robber' had'nt had time to brandish his gun, and the homeowner just reacted, he had already grabbed his sword, and quite possibly could have been afraid. Aside from some claims of commenters on here bieng family members and claiming the dead man knew the homeowner, nothing here really says if they knew one another or not. Don't get me wrong your thoughts are good ones, weighing out all the possibilities, there just is'nt enouph here to be sure. My point was suppose the homeowner did'nt know the guy breaking into his home at all? Then drugs removed from the scenario it could just be a cut and dry case of a man came home, found things amiss and reacted on maybe even 'auto pilot'. We can't say for sure how we would react to come home and find a stranger in our midst our comfort zone, our home is ours and our safety. We own alot of guns too and it would'nt be good for anyone coming in here unannounced.

• THE SADDEST PART ABOUT THIS WHOLE STORY IS THE FACT THAT PEOPLE TAKE JOY IN THE FACT THAT A LIFE WAS LOST. YES HE WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME BUT THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN THAT HOUSE IS #1 GOD, THE VICTIM AND THE KILLER, AND ONE THING FOR SURE IS THAT WHATEVER THE STORY IS GOD IS THE FINAL JUDGE AND ONLY HE CAN REPAY FOR THE LIFE THAT WAS TAKEN. SO TO ALL THE PEOPLES WHO THINK HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED; IF WE ALL GOT WHAT WE DESERVED FOR SOME OF THE THINGS WE HAVE DONE IN OUR LIVES WHERE WOULD WE ALL BE. JUST BECAUSE HIS LIFE IS AN OPEN BOOK RIGHT NOW DOESN'T MEAN THAT GOD DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE STUFF THAT IS HIDDEN IN OUR CLOSET THAT WE ONLY KEEP BETWEEN OURSELVES AND GOD. YE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.

• Rational, Yep that's it cause if we didn't have such lax gun laws he wouldn't have gone and bought one off the street for cheaper than he'd have to pay in a real gun store with background checks. Wake up... everything that is illegal is owned by criminals. All taking gun rights away does is make certain that law-abiding citizens will not be able to own a gun to defend themselves from people who would obtain guns no matter the law. Now that is 'rational'.

• I was simply referring to the details of the story. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU iLLUSIONS, but you'd have to be R.Lee Ermey or fucking Rambo to think that you can take on a burgular with a gun, armed only with a decorative sword. If I have a gun, and your more than 5 feet away from me with a sword...YOU LOSE THE FIGHT. Nobody in their right mind, would risk their lives and safety to save an empty apartment????? You see my reasoning here? As a homeowner, I own LOTS of guns, but if I came home and found my house wide open, UNLESS I WAS CARRYING ONE OF THOSE GUNS, I WOULDN'T PICK UP ONE OF MY MULTIPLE ORNAMENTAL SWORDS IN MY FRONT ROOM AND GO LOOKING FOR THE PERP. To a rational/normal person, I would envision the criminal to be armed and dangerous, and I would think my sword too weak a weapon to take on a gun. Even with all my guns, hunting knowledge, expert marksmanship, defense training, I would have retreated and called police at least before I attempted anything SOLO. What if the thief gets the better of me? I haven't called 911, so nobody would come to my rescue....so I'd be f*cked. But if I had a bunch of illegal drugs in my house, that I couldn't report stolen, I'd forgo calling the cops and make a stand on my own....which is EXACTLY what sounds like happened here... Now don't misunderstand me iLLusions...If I was in my bed, and somebody broke in, and I feared for the life/safety of my family, he/she would be lying in a pool of blood with two loads of 00buckshot in them before the cops could even arrive. But thats what happen when you corner an old bear like me inside my bedroom. If I feel threatened I'm going to defend myself, but I'm not going to risk my health and safety when I don't have to, and have already forked over a bunch of tax money for Cops to do the dirty work............. Next time, read my comments more closely. I'm not defending anything but the notion that this is not an open/shut case of personal defense because it doesn't match up with normal rational common sense.....plain and simple...

• I am curious how some of the last commentors would feel if it turns out that the VICTIM did not know the PERPATRAITOR. How has things been turned around to say the homeowner was guilty of something without any facts to substantiate that claim? Suppose the guy with the sword had NEVER seen this guy standing in his home with a gun. He is suppose to TURN HIS BACK and run out and call 911?? I just don't think thats realistic talk.

• I feel really bad for the way some of you are speaking. I know the family & in a world of texting it has lead many to use that lingo when typing. Depending on what you may have read, Delvon was young, just so you are aware the majority of his mourning nieces' & nephews' are even younger (grade school ages). No matter what is said or what was done, there are three sides to a story...yours, mine, & the truth...Delvon can not tell his story. He is called an "alleged" robber with a gun, but he is now deceased. The home owner will claim "self defense", to avoid a murder charge if he wasn't being robbed. Only GOD knows what really happened. You shouldn't judge anyone...let he who is pure cast the first stone My deepest sympathy goes out to the family

• Say some punk tried to get you for your Auto (or any possesion), are you gonna call the one-time (police) and play the roll model? No. I think you play like a thug. Next hear the shot of a magnum slug (or a swooshing sword)!! Here is something you can't understand: How I can just kill a man!

• Oscar, thank you for that, means a lot to know we're not alone in this world by being able to control our feelings of vengeance. YES folks, I admitted that I am vengeful, ALL people are, it is a primal instinct that allowed us to survive. When one caveman came and took your wife and your club, you clubbed him back and took his wife and yours back. This continued until we devised a set of religious rules that would universally govern the actions of people everywhere. (Sidebar I DO believe in God, and good vs evil, I just don't believe every word of the Bible like some folks because I realize it was written by man, and that we are all born with an internal device that allows us to determine the good or evil in something. It's called a heart, and we all have one. Rather than spending time devising ellaborate crusades of vengeance and torture, equally as disgusting as the crimes in question, why don't we work at trying to find the root of this problem and identify it in people BEFORE they go psycho?? Not taking away your fire though peeps, I UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION, ANGER, AND REVENGE..but you can't bring yourself to the same level of the folks you despise. Jesus, (whether you believe or not) showed the shining example of forgiveness and turning the other cheek. If Jesus had grabbed a spear and led an uprising, he WOULD NOT have affected the billions and billions of people that he has. He did it by doing what anyone else would see as stupid/crazy. He didn't defend himself, and instructed his followers to study his life and live according to that, NOT avenge his death. All in all it works out to a moral lesson: By repeating the behavior in question, whether in the name of vengeance or not, will only continue to promote further behavior. AN EYE FOR AN EYE LEAVES THE WHOLE WORLD BLIND! We need to take something positive from these tragedies, not fuel the vengeance fires, resulting in equally as atrocious acts. Why don't we use the tools already afforded to us through our tax dollars (police) before we take action ourselves. My point...: If the homeowner had arrived home to find his home on fire instead of being burglarized...would he have grabbed a fire extinguisher and attempted to put the blaze out alone without calling the fire dept? I doubt it, I think that would have been a quick 911 call, kind of like the one he should have made upon arriving at the home. Protecting yourself/your family from imminent danger/harm is one thing, but putting yourself in harms way trying to be a hero doesn't mean you can shoot anyone committing a crime against you. I would rather let the insurance company replace my home/valuables than take a decorative sword into a potentially hostile situation. What if this robber had actually used the gun, the homeowner would have been lying dead in his home with a sword in his hand. Stupidity on both sides here, and two lives ruined, and many more affected. Let's not play "who can think up the best revenge" let's focus instead on why did this happen? and what can we do to prevent it from happening in the future? Just my opinion, and not trying to set off the fanatics..

• Bacon I agree... sounds more like a more realistic possibility. Once again we must know the facts I'm sure a quick drug test would answer a lot of questions and I'm glad u didn't leave out the part about a gun will allway win over a knife. Ive been awake all night filling out my renters insurance. And my good fried emailed me this link. It is sad to see what people we are forced to live around. But that's why I'm going to force myself to study&work harder then the next Guy to afford the right protections for me and my future family. And on my off time spread the good word and share the knowledge that ive learned IN THIS COUNTRY you can anyone you want to be help is here for who asks for it. Sad most people forgot how to ask. I'm off to bed. I'm glad atleast. I get to share this short life with possitive people like you :)

• THAT SHIT YALL TALKIN SHUVE IT UP ALL YALL ASS I KNOW WHAT HAPPEN THAT WAS MY CUZ YALL IS SO CHILDISH YALL CAN STOP PLEASE

• Oscar, think about what you are saying. No one defend their property? What if you were able to snap your fingers and make that happen. Everyone in this country would do exactly that. If someone breaks into your home, you get yourself and your family out and call the police. You would be opening the door for every criminal to just smash your front window and grab whatever they want and walk out. No worries on their mind, since there is no chance they will be getting caught. We are human beings too, not sheep. Fear shouldn't be exlusive to the good guys.

• I feel for the loss of uncle I truelly do I wish that what I wrote puts things in a deffrent perspective. And please for the love of God u don't have to be reading this u will only damage ur heart even further! If u know in ur heart ur uncle ment no harm by being in his house even if he wasn't invited. I belive you. The white folks Vwriting this horrorable things are more sick in the head then u can possibly understand. They speak of race like white is some kind of justification for doing the right thing. Like I said 92% white people were I currently live and I see them asking me for money on every corner because in there eye because I do the job better I need. not only pay taxes but pay a tow when I pass them when I don't I get screamed at. A WORD OF ANGER TO ALL Y'ALL WHITE FOLKS. BE PREPARED TO LOOSe UR HOME TO THE BANK U TRUST BECAUSE U LOST UR JOB AT WALMART WERE EVERYTHING U BUY COMES FROM CHINA. BECAUSE EVERY DRUG DEALER I KNOW OF IS A TRAILER TRASH SELLING DRUGS AT THE SCHOOL THERE KID ATTENDS TO MAKE A LIVING WAITING FOR THE ebt CARD TO RELOAD TO BUY AN OUNCE OF HEROINE OR METH BECAUSE THEY CANT GET A JOB. BECAUSE INSTEAD OF TEACHING POSSITIVE LESSONS TO THE FUTURE(KIDS) THEY LEARN HATE. White America is mad because we have a 50% white 48%arab & 2% black Guy running this bitch because he went to school educated himself to tell white America they no longer have a choice. And ur mad well cry and complain to the black house because ur people couldn't keep u in school to keep it white. Because the man that shot my 16 year old friend walking to school was white. Because the people that shot at my school in north Hollywood. Were white. because the men that robbed our country are white. Cheney Bush ect. Be mad all u want. Just leave both of the poor families alone.... yes it is a free country and you could say as u wish. I just can't belive ur faith religious beliefs allows u to feel good about it. Just to let u know. America was taken from the people that created many wonderfull things you can't live without built by Africans that were taken from there families by force by white folks that did it with fear using non other then guns. but it was ok for them to do I assume in you're guys eyes right. hitler was white and if u made it pass the 2th grade u would know this. U would know that if America and all its people white black Asian Hispanic. Didn't stop him he would have killed everyone that didn't have blue eyes. Because of the color of ones eye!!!!!! BELIVE THAT SHIT. things happen all the time and unless ur sinless u should spend ur time in school so we once again be America the great. Not the great depression

• @Oscar Manuel Herrera-Alcala You can take a stand against people who voluntarily decide to go against social norms. That's the risk you take. You forget that this isn't about "material" or "replaceable" items. This is about loss of security and loss of safety. So, if you think that the "homeowner" would ever, for the rest of his life, be able to open the front door of his home without trepidation, you are living in a fantasy world. The bottom line is, don't do stupid sh*t. Some get lucky and get the police called on them. Some aren't so lucky and get shot. If anything, perhaps Delvon's life won't be such a waste now - hopefully some would-be thug kid reads this and decides a couple hundred bucks isn't worth getting run through with a steel blade.

• I always heard don't bring a knife to a gun fight, never knew they were referring to you bringing an Ornamental Sword instead...lol thats my only joke on this sad situation...But to the guy defending his uncle, I understand your frustration, and it'snot fair that his actions are causing you so much pain. Thats why we as civilized people need to think about how our actions will effect OTHERS not just ourselves. We are a selfish nation, and I think both these men were selfish. Call it what you want, from the details released, the homeowner could have turned around, walked away and called the cops. The would-be-thief could have just as easily got a job at McD's instead of stealing from someone. Both acted selfishly. That being said, I DO SUPPORT SELF-DEFENSE 150%. As far as I read from the story, it was more like HOME/VALUABLE DEFENSE...which in my mind is NOT the same thing. Now when he was confronted with a man weilding a gun I would consider that self defense. BUT if I have a gun and you have a sword...I'm going to win. The details on this case bring me to believe that the victim knew his robber, and that perhaps drugs were involved. Someone commented earlier on replaceable items. Well if I were dealing drugs, and someone was breaking into my house, I'd consider those drugs one valuable the COPS wouldn't be likely to return to me or one the home owner's insurance wouldn't cover. That make sense to anyone else? SOMETHING had to be in the house to instill the bravery of bringing a large ornamental knife to a gun fight. How did the homeowner know the thief wouldn't just shoot him??? Sounds to me like both these men should have been in prison, then we wouldn't be dealing with this in the first place. I'll wait and see what the case reveals further before I make any judgements or accusations, this is just my opinion for now...

• EVERYONE THAT IS TALKING NEGATIVELY ABOUT MY UNCLE, ONCE AGAIN HE WASN'T ROBBING ANYONE THEY KNEW MY UNCLE VERY WELL AND I WISH YOU ALL WOULD JUST STOP ACTING SO FUCKING DUMB. BUT ALL OF YOU GUYS DON'T MATTER TO ME I KNOW HOW MY UNCLE WAS AND I KNOW HE WASN'T ROBBING HIM AND I ALSO KNOW THAT THE GUN HE SO CALLED HAD NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN IT WASN'T HIS ALSO WHY IS EVERYONE SAYING HE WAS IN JAIL WITH GUN CHARGES AND ASSAULT AND ALL THIS OTHER BULL SHIT. HOW THE HELL WOULD YALL KNOW? NONE OF YOU HAVE HIS FUCKING RECORDS.BUT I SWEAR IM GOING TO PRAY FOR YOU GUYS BECAUSE YALL REALLY NEED IT. BUT ALL OF YOU DUMB ASS PEOPLE THAT HAD SO MUCH TO SAY WILL FIND OUT THE TRUTH SOONER THEN LATER AND YOU ALL ARE GOING TO FEEL BAD. OH ONE MORE THING WHOEVER YOU ARE THAT WROTE SOMETHING SAYING YOU WERE MY UNCLE STOP BEING SO CHILDISH WHO DOES THAT.YOU GUYS REALLY HAVE NO LIFE WHY DNT YALL TRY GOING TO SCHOOL OR GETTING A JOB MAYBE EVEN TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY I DNT CARE IF ANY OF YOU TOOK THIS TO HEART AND GOT AFFENDED BY THIS BECAUSE I DNT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANY OF YOU BUT IM PUTTING UP WITH THIS AND I REALLY HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY BECAUSE MY UNCLE WOULDN'T WANT ME FEEDING INTO THIS. I LOVE ALL YOU HATERS AND NEGATIVE PEOPLE HAHAHA YEAH RIGHT. R.I.P UNCLE SPUD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH EVEN THOUGH YOUR GONE YOUR NEVER FORGOTTEN, LOVE YOU BABY!!!! AND WE WISH YOU WERE HERE WITH US.

• I'm a 22 year old Hispanic male that grew up in Los Angeles, currently living in a "safer" town in the north west near Seattle. With that said my heart goes out to both victim's families, and anyone else that has experienced any losses being materialistic (replaceable ) or the loss of a loved one (not replaceable). Everywere You go (especially) in this country you will find crime. Non the less I am proud of being were I'm at and I truelly appreciate having my basic needs shelter, food, water and someone that loves me and cares for me with trust! And my health. This is what I appreciate having everyday. I moved from the safety of my parents at a very young age, thinking I would be safer were I currently live. Thinking that because 92% of the population was "white" at first I felt safe. Then as I grew and matured I learned first hand I was wrong. The problem with people is they forget what really matters in life, it has nothing to do with the color of your skin nor does it have to do with protecting REPLACEABLE MATERIALISTIC possessions. It brings great hurt and sadness to my heart to know that both this men did what they felt they had to. Based on what society agrees or disagree is acceptable. This man "the homeowner" could have easily made the right choice the second he felt his life was in danger knowing no one he loves was in his home walked out and called the police. Instead this man broke the law and made the choice of risking his life to take another. Because society accepts his choice for defending his replaceable materials. He took a life with his hands because of the choice he made, apparently not knowing he had the choice of turning his back and allowing THE POLICE to do the job. I would like to add that that's why we had 911 and trained humans handle events like this one. The homeowner should be convicted or atleast evaluated for mentally being able to commit such an act. What kind of anger or actions would this man had taken if for instence when he arrived home it was set a blaze??? Would he have risked his life the same way to protect his replaceable material items. I highly doubt it. experience has thought me his choice unless a loved one was in danger. The choice he would have made would have been to dial 911 and pray that things would be replaced and or atleast not fully lost. My words might not mean much to anyone but given that I am free to put in my 2 cents I HAVE CHOSEN to stay possitive and write with my heart and point out the crime that was truelly in my heart I fell was commuted. My name is Oscar I don't hide it like most of you. I am proud of the choices I make and greatfull for what I have. I have just been robbed of most of my material possession and I watched most of it happen. I made a choice and it cost me my replaceable possessions. Atleast have my health and my loved one. Safe and comfortable sleeping next to me knowing I made the Humanely possitive right correct educated CHOICE. My hands are clean of blood and my soul is unmarked by such ignorance and hate.

• You know, if this dirtbag was still alive her would probably be really jazzed about how much everyone is talking about him. Let him rot... next story.

• All's well that ends well.

• Self preservation, dave, Boy do you two guys know family and country. Well said, right to the point. Self Presevation just for the record 95% of us would do the same thing you would do. Dave I can't say anymore about you Just "Dave." Wonderful. Thank you both!

• F delvon and the sword he rode out on.... His obituary said he was a christian? Really what happened with the part about not stealing? I hope he is being laughed at in Hell for being a ass-monkey. If you break in to someones house and they come home and go "Kill Bill" on you before you can shoot them then maybe its just thining out the heard. Thank you for your entry into the Darwin Awards.

• Rational I would assume he was black because he was called Delvon Crocket, had a history of drug offenses and was burgling a house... Racist? http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/erietimesnews/obituary.aspx?n=delvon-j-crockett&pid=140690549 Oh I was right "enjoyed working out, playing video games, writing and listening to music, playing and watching sports"

• Why do people assume he was black? Well, because he was committing a felony. That's why.

• You guys are hilarious. Somehow a burglery (which have been going on since man has existed) is somehow now Obama and Oprah's fault. Look. Id kill someone too if they broke into my house with ANY weapon. Id expect to be killed if I broke into someone's house with a gun. For Sure. Thats why I dont do it. But dont try to blame 1. The 'economy' 2. Burglery's or anything else that happened in this story on Obama and Hollywood people. That crap was f-ed up long before he got in office. For the guy who thinks the ACLU is a bunch of crazy liberals who hate guns..They actually have a long history of sticking up for civil liberties including the 2nd Amendment. http://reason.com/blog/2007/04/06/the-aclu-defends-gun-rights Look. Maybe youd call me a commie liberal just because i dont think your a socialist if you dont want to let all the all of the wealth in the US accumulate into the hands of about .5% of the population who gained that money by manipulating money markets but hey... thats just me but Im armed, trained and will protect my home with deadly force if forced to. Just dont try to blame Obama for the same crap that has been going on for over 10k years and was even worse (statistically) during Bush's two terms.

• I'm actually speechless reading these comments, America has gone to the gutter . I can't fathom how people are defending this Dirtbag . In my opinion , Uncle Spud got off lucky . I would have made sure if this dirtbag broke into my house the dude would have had to have a closed casket . I would have shot him right in his face . I have this little thing called self and family preservation . I don't care what race or religion a person is , if it comes down to me and my family's safety your going down . I have never wished death on anyone but if you break into my house Armed your going to meet God quick .

• Hi guys, it's me. I just wanted to drop by and let you know that Delvon is doing great. Spud, he says he wants his $20 (Gee he might still be with you had you paid up, just kidding!). Anyways it turns out that Delvon WAS going to rob the place and shoot Mr. Homeowner (Actually soon to be Mr. Renter because with all those court fees and this economy who can manage right?). Anyways, everything is cool, you guys don't have to argue. Let's all just get a long. -JC PS: You're good to go President Clinton, oral doesn't count.

• Burgulary doesn't warrant the death penalty, but aggravated (with a weapon) burgulary, at the time, for the victim warrants the use of deadly force. If someone is in your house with a gun, there's a high probability you'll end up with holes drilled in you.

• One more sinner sent to his maker unprepared. If only we would forget our possessions and even our own lives and care even for someone who's doing us wrong. The burglar was wrong and he got what was coming to him, but we would all have death and Hell coming to us if it weren't for God through Jesus having mercy on us when we were wrong.

• Carl Sagan is dead. When we lose our guns (or swords) is when we lose our country. An armed populace is the only thing standing between us and utter depravity.

• As someone who was burglarized twice, all I can say is WOOOHOOO! This is the best news I've heard all day. Even to this day, I wish I would have been waiting on a hill near my house with a sniper rifle waiting to pick off the burglar once he entered my home. I lost nearly everything Twice and I have gained a special dislike for burglars. They should all be stabbed in the chest with swords .... really dull rusty ones.

• If someone is stoopid enough to break into our house, we have a three-foot sword at the top of the stairs where we can get it when we hear something. Plus I have a five-foot bo in my bedroom. Plus there are other assorted 'decorative' functional weapons scattered around the house. I say go to the homeowner and f-you to the burglar. Thieves and rapists get what they deserve. (my city is having a plague of a serial rapist .... )

• Reading through some of the comments, seems like there's more to the story, which I imagine there often is. My example @IM ME obviously isn't what happened here, just trying to send a reality check to people who think that there's no way they'd ever be in a position to take another persons life. Survival is a basic human instinct, and when that kicks in, your normal thought process and conscience probably have very little control over your actions.

• @IM ME. So, say you are awoken in the middle of the night to the sounds of someone rummaging through your stuff. You walk down stairs to see what's going on to find someone pointing a gun at you? You're going to talk to them, maybe see if you can lead them to Jesus? Maybe sit down talk politics over a cup of coffee? Get real, you're going to freak the hell out, and if you happen to not get shot or otherwise incapacitated, you're going to try to kill that person, or at the very least very seriously injure them. If you react otherwise, you're doing yourself and your family a disservice by not fighting for their safety and well-being. Honestly, I wouldn't give a damn about THEIR family at this point because 1) there's no time to think about them and 2) what's the point, its not like they can do anything to save their boy now. So, that's why I say, kill the trash and get a new rug.

• I'm guessing the pants that dude in the picture is wearing are sold out by now?

• It would be different if old spuds was shot while innocently shopping in a convienence store or any of the other number of quality things he could have been doing. A job perhaps? A means of contributing to society instead of breaking into strangers homes and STEALING what another person no doubt worked hard for. This is undeniably what led to his demise. I know family is gonna stand up for him (if any of those posters are actualy his family)

• Oh, okay Mary. Thanks for the instruction. I'll be sure to follow it. :::eyeroll:::
