-- PORT COLBORNE, Ont. -- A Port Colborne, Ont., man whose home was attacked has ended up facing charges himself.Small point of clarification here... first of all, his house wasn't "attacked"... it was fire-bombed... in short, they were trying to obliterate the building.
With this man in it.
Call me a little anal-retentive, but that's attempted murder in my book.
Niagara Regional Police say a man emerged from his home with a handgun and fired it after several Molotov cocktails were thrown at the home.So the police arrrived and arrested the homicidal maniacs, right?
Police say three suspects wearing dark clothes got away in a car after the cocktails were thrown early Sunday morning.
Well, not exactly.
It was just a whole lot easier to arrest the guy who was defending his home and his life.
Ian Thomson, 53, is charged with careless use of a firearm.I dunno, regardless of who or what, this guy may turn out to be... it sounded pretty deliberate and necessary to me.
Here's a thought... let's ask some Niagara Regional Police officers how they would react if someone tried to burn down their homes while they were in it.
