Washington man fatally shoots suspected home burglar: ‘I have the right to protect myself'

A Washington state man shot and killed a suspected burglar and opened fire on another inside his home early Thursday, saying "I have a right to defend myself."

Jerahme Smith, 31, told Fox affiliate KCPQ-TV in Seattle that he was in his Spanaway home with his sister when two men kicked in a back door. One of them had a weapon, prompting Smith to open fire in self-defense, he said.

"When everything first started, the first thing I had to do was take a few breaths and calm myself down because I knew it could have gone one of two ways," he told the news outlet. "I didn’t know who they were, I didn’t know what they had, but the first thing I did--and it’s the honest to God truth--is I took a few breaths to myself. That way I knew I was calm enough to make a proper judgment decision."

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department said they received a call about a home invasion just before 4:30 a.m. from a homeowner who said he shot at intruders. When deputies arrived, they found an unresponsive suspect, identified as a 24-year-old man..........

Judging from his name,he is black,and this means heads will be exploding in newsrooms all over the country as the media tries to spin this without mantioning his race.

They might even just have to ignore it.

I went to both links.  NO WHERE...does it say anything about the INTRUDER.  Name or age.  They did show a big picture of the VICTIM.....why?  That puts him in danger from crazy, like JUSSIE SUPPORTERS.

To ME that indicates the dead criminal is white.

Double the number of exploding heads.

I am loving the HELL out of this one!

NO.  If it is someone white, they advertise that, point it out profusely.  Black is kept quiet.  It will come out eventually. 
Curious to see, who it turns out to be.

Not if the good guy is black and used a handgun to kill a white intruder.

That combination upsets their whole mantra that whites arm to murder blacks,and since it was PROBABLY a black homeowner who was armed with a handgun and killed a white intruder,they just ain't going to know WHAT to do with this one.

After all,they can NOT admit that honest black citizens own firearms and use them to protect themselves,their families,and their possessions,while also admitting the dead criminal was white.

This turns their whole damn world upside down.
