Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
It reminds me of what my father use to tell me. There were damn few horse thieves when the thieves were hung for the theft.
A very simple solution, to what is now a very large problem. Too bad he was hospitalized, he should have been removed in a garbage bag.

There are so many positive, uplifting things going on in our community that you could focus on. Come on Meta you can do better please. Thank you
Agree!! On target there. This has no place here.

So, you really feel safe in our little bubble here with all the construction workers coming in to work, the loser kids that unnecessarily still live with their parents and most important, the idiot Villagers that go ballistic over ever little thing?

My wife and I feel safer with her 9mm and my .380 (and we really know how to use them) that we carry everywhere. We are not going to be surprised by anyone that decides to pull any kind of s#%t anywhere.

Some people call it a bubble because they have a very high regard for where they live and I find it quite rude and condecending . You are quite right to say that Leesburg is extremely important to the villages and most people don't realize they were 10,000 more homes going up in the north Leesburg area near Coleman prison so that's all going to be what I call now the huge donut where there's a center part that is not the villages. Personally I'm really happy if villages don't come out to Leesburg as the problem is apparent when a restaurant becomes popular and then it doesn't. We have a movie theater that has been around for 30 plus years and is great as well as wonderful restaurants in Leesburg fruitland Park and Lady Lake they're not in the villages. I'm happy when you don't come here so I can get a table and great service. I am also happy that there are several squares with restaurants for variety but then again I'm also not happy when I get ripped off by contractors that think I live in The villages that charge 50% more or by people that are trying to scam us because we're just all old seniors. So yes Leesburg is extremely important as it has two major thoroughfares running through it 27/441 and 44 . As well as connecting to the turnpike and a major hospital and some great businesses that are not restaurants. Plus don't forget we are part of Lake county and supported with taxes.

And find the need to always brag about the guns they own and their caliber. Must be a compensation thing.

The homeowner needs some time on the range to tighten his shot group

Robbery = Taking property of another by means of violence, force, or the threat thereof. Penalty increases with the level of violence...i.e., strongarm (unarmed), vs armed robbery. Example: Pointing a firearm at a store clerk and demanding money.

The penalty ranges for robbery are, generally, more severe than they are for burglary.
True, and shooting someone for robbery probably wouldn't be justified. If the homeowner felt threatened by the two suspects, it's a burglary. And more likely that the shooting is justified.
