Maine Man Blinds Home Invader With a Flashlight, Then Holds Him at Gunpoint [VIDEO]

BY DAN ZIMMERMAN
Buxton’s a rural area not far west of Portland, Maine. And while the state’s “stay healthy at home” order doesn’t expire until the end of the month, that didn’t stop a home invader from forcing his way into Eric and Missy Bartlett house this past weekend.

Fortunately, the Bartletts are gun owners.

From newscentermaine.com:

“It was nerve-racking obviously. It was 3 o’clock in the morning. You don’t expect that,” Eric Bartlett said.

The couple, both certified Maine Guides and avid hunters, jumped into action. Missy dialed 911 as Eric grabbed his flashlight and gun and headed downstairs.

Eric blinded the intruder with a flashlight, then forced him at gunpoint into a bathroom where he held him until police arrived.

I can hear Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, “Blinded by the light”

I got the load of chicago shooting texts from IPN on my cell phone but I can only forward them to cell phone numbers but not to my email where I would be able to put them in the comment box so one could see the large amount of shootings and stabbings.

Still playing catch up. Hadn’t made it to Sunday Morning FGS yet. Good for homeboy and his missus for bring every weapon to bear. I’d have still shot the sumbitch. I’ll just leave this here!

Good ole’ John Belushi … he sure could move for a heavy guy! Really talented, too bad he fried his brain.

Today is International Firefighters’ Day
On May 4, 2020, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) will be joining in the celebration of International Firefighters’ Day which began on May 4, 1999, after the deaths of five Australian firefighters in a wildland fire. New this year, the NFFF is asking members of the public to light their homes in “red” on May 4-5 to celebrate International Firefighters’ Day. They ask that families share their stories on social media using #ShineYourLight4Firefighters. Since March 2020, reported from various outlets across the country, over 30 fire and EMS responders have succumbed to COVID-19, NFFF says. Every firefighter who makes the ultimate sacrifice is one too many. Countless others suffer from physical, mental, and emotional injuries.

Who knew a mere flashlight could be a potential “death ray”?
I wonder if I have to register my Maglights (2D & 3D) as “deadly weapons”?
