Meet Robert Cole. He’s a (suspected) burglar from Tulsa, Okla.
On Wednesday morning, Cole set his plan to break into an area home into motion. However, things didn’t go according to plan.
While attempting to break into the home, Cole was “bum-rushed” by the homeowner. The homeowner, who was described as a “superhero” by his wife, then hogtied the suspected burglar, left him in the front yard for police and went to work.


He’s like a superhero,” the homeowner’s wife, Denay Houston, told KWTV-TV.
Houston said she is really proud of her husband and how he handled the situation.


It all started when the Houstons heard the glass break outside their daughter’s bedroom around 6 o’clock Wednesday morning.
“That folding chair was in her bedroom, shattered glass all over the place, and I said, ‘A raccoon didn’t do that.’ And he was just like, ‘Oh God,’” Houston said.
They heard rustling inside the garage and Houston’s husband went to the front door.
“And then he waited for him to come out and then he bum-rushed him,” she said.
After taking the would-be burglar down, the homeowner then hogtied him and left him for police to pick up later.
“I was like, ‘That’s my man!’ I was really proud of him,” Houston said.


“As soon as Cole was tied up, Houston said her husband turned to her and said he had to leave, had to go work. That’s why we couldn’t talk to him today,” KWTV-TV adds.
“That’s just the type of person he is, you know? That’s just the type of person he is. Business is business. ‘I got to take care of business, he’s safe, the police are coming, I got to go,’” Houston said.
Houston also said her husband, who works with horses and knows his way around a rope, just nodded his head like “what’s done is done.”
Cole now faces one charge of first degree burglary. He is being held at the Tulsa County jail on a $32,079 bond.
He was apparently on drugs and thought he was actually in Jenks, Okla., police said.

I fear if this happened in Canada the Police would charge the home owner with unlawful confinement.

It seems more and more Canada is becoming a "got you" state. The police lay charges and ask questions later, problem being if one is innocent the cost of fighting the charges financially cripple the individual.

when the people fear the government it may be time to change it.

That is one of the reasons for our Second Amendment.

I have heard the arguments against it. Yet somehow I can not accept them.
I accept the fact you may not wish to have a gun and will likely try to educate your children against them.

I will continue to educate that a gun is one of the most dangerous tools you can own if you do not know how to use it and how to take care of it. But the same can be said of your car. In a nano-second you could take ten people out at a bus stop or force a bus to flip, killing 50 maybe 60 on board. You could just as easily use your power boat to swamp smaller boats or run over swimmers.

Now before anyone says that is just crazy talk. Ask yourself who but a crazy person would take a gun and make your fears a reality?

Fact is people you will not stop people like Cole from committing crimes but you can stop them from getting away with them.
Stop being afraid to protect your family and quit waiting for the cops to get around to your call.

True, even her in TO if someone breaks into your home, do whatever you have to do. Deal with the authorities later but either way, if you're 6 ft. under there's no fighting anything.
