Father fights crazed home invader in front of kids and wins. (1 Viewer)

Friend of ours.

Tony Houck was making tacos. His wife had just left for a quick trip to the grocery store. Minutes later, Houck was face to face with a strange man in his kitchen. The criminal had kicked his way in through the front door.

"I turn, and there was a guy standing in my face. A split second later he smacked me. We went at it. We went at it hard," said Houck.

Freaking my wife out.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Well that settles it. I'm never making tacos again, it's too dangerous.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

If only the intruder had been carrying a taco.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Outlaw tacos and only outlaws will have tacos.

 

[Parrothead]

I blame the illegals

 

[Fennis]

OP who would win in a fight between you and him?

Glad your friend is OK.

[Bucky86]

What kind of tacos was he making?

 

[Fennis]

You guys made me hungry. At least, I know what I'm having for dinner tonight.

He isn't a big guy, I guess the kids there brought out beast mode.

 

[matuski]

If you make tacos illegal, only bad guys will have tacos.

Door kick-ins are way more common than folks think. Probably smart to have a plan to protect against em.

1. How common are they really?

2. How common do folks think they are?

You guys really are a bunch of jerks. I can't imagine what your reaction would be if he was making Granpa Bill's BBQ Cheeseburger Veggie and Chip Dip.

1) On average there are 100 burglary related homicides each year. So your chances of being a victim of one is exceedingly small.

2) Way over the actual number I would guess.

We've got Luke Kuechly defending our house.

Carolinas area FBG may be the only ones who get that.

#### never would've happened if his wife would've remembered the sour cream on the first trip.

That commercial cracks me up.

Somebody would have to be crazy to kick in the front door while people were home.

Is it weird that I think about what I'd do in situations like that on a daily basis?

I do the same thing...I've done it since I was a kid. I look around the room and think of what I'd grab for a weapon, where I'd retreat to if I had to, what I'd try and do to the intruder...

Who said anything about homicides?

I'm suggesting a couple simple precautions to protect against door being kicked in in robbery attempt for those in areas where this might be a issue. Bottom line is your deadbolt locks are pretty much ineffective as burglars don't pick locks to break into houses. It's all about kick-ins now. Your door might as well be unlocked to a thief if a deadbolt is your only security.

Does your dog jump through the kitchen window to help save the day?

 

[Al O'Pecia]

A possible home invasion is why I learned capoeira. That way if a guy busts into my house I can break into my capoeira, and while the guy is busy trying to figure out whether I'm fighting or dancing my wife can hit him with a frying pan.

I was actually going to suggest this exact strategy.

"Help, Rover, Help! Attack! Attack!"

"Awww...damn shame I'm an outside-only dog and not allowed in the kitchen."

How ironic would this be if the perp was former NFL player Taco Wallace?

"My five-year-old came up and punched him a couple of times," said Houck. "It makes me tear up that he tried to help me out."

I leave my door unlocked so they don't have to kick it in.

This is an easy one...i have a .45 in the kitchen....That would not be a long fight.

If White Shadow taught me anything its that the guy was on his way to jump off the roof, "I can fly, man!"

That's like playing with a loaded gun.

Well the truth is very few states report a crime called home invasion and everyone's definition is different. Given that if we go with robbery we find that the FBI stats say:

In 2010, the last year for which full statistics are available, the robbery rate in the United States was at its lowest level since 1968 (1960 is the first year in which FBI statistics were compiled).

Robbery is probably the primary stat where home invasions would show up but it is inexact.

[El Floppo]

I'm about to punish some tacos RIGHT NOW.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

[Das Boot]

Tacos make people crazy.

Tater tots are a safer alternative.

 

[Wrigley]

Was it a taco party outside bills office?

You invited Eric? I thought Eric gave you the creeps

 

[top dog]

Whoa! We had tacos tonight. Didn't realize we were playing with fire!

 

[McGarnicle]

Good god. The world has gone crazy.

 

[Politician Spock]

After making tacos, I engage in a struggle too.

 

[seahawk 17]

Look at me...I have a nanny and shop at whole foods!!!

I also made tacos tonight without incident.
