Equal Protection

Ellsinore, Missouri rarely makes the news.  People from the Sticks go to Ellsinore to get away from it all. 

An 82-year-old man from Ellsinore successfully defended himself from a home invasion.  The gentleman had to be taken to the hospital as he suffered head injuries in the "alleged" attack by one Charles L. White.  White was shot in the arm by his intended victim. 

Or, perhaps we should say that White was shot by the intended victim's firearm.  That seems to be the way the loons in this country look at things.

In any case, a glance at White's mugshot indicates he is likely a healthy and active young thug, fully capable of beating and overpowering an elderly person.  People like Charles White do not need guns to perpetrate their crimes of mayhem and theft.  He was stopped only by a frail old man's ability to access and discharge a firearm.

One sad thing about this story is that the bullet went into the thug's arm and not between his eyes, but we'll take what justice we can get.
