By Dave Spencer and David Komer
An early morning home invasion ended in the fatal shooting of the suspect on Detroit’s west side.Homeowner Maiso Jackson has lived in his home for 20 years, and he’s owned his gun for the last eight. He’s taken lessons on how to handle that firearm. Early this morning, that training was put into action.
“I had to do what I had to do, to save my life,” he said.
Maiso Jackson awoke around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday to a man pounding on his door and yelling. Parts of the encounter was captured on his Ring doorbell camera at his home on Salem Street on Detroit’s west side.
“(He was) talking about how someone owed him money, I said no one here owes you money,” Jackson said. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Jackson says he tried to reason with him from inside his house.
“He wouldn’t leave, so I dialed 911,” he said.
While they waited for police he says things escalated.
“Then he went around the window here and busted that window out,” Jackson said.

When it’s either “him or me”, make sure it is him.

Yep, ultimate power leads to ultimate tyranny, always happens when those with the title think they are now God.
Case in point, Canada with the moron P.M. Trudeau.
I expect crime to take a jump as the bad actors use their already owned weapons against those that just had theirs confiscated.
Canada, where did you go bad ???
Two-fer this fine morning here on God’s beautiful green Earth !!!
