[SIZE="4"]Common sense would tell you that most BG's don't want to be caught or confront 3 guy's with guns. He runs....you shoot him in the back = long and expensive trial.[/SIZE] 4. What makes you think that the police are going to be able to protect everyone all the time? [SIZE="4"]I don't....you called them, then complained about how they did their job.[/SIZE] 5. Should the homeowner just went ahead about his business maybe ran some errands while he waited on the police? [SIZE="4"]Nope. Go to the neighbors house, call the police, then keep and eye on the residence until the police arrive. Or, don't call the police, find and detain the BG, then call the police. See....not difficult.
