Creaches need reality jolt
To the Creach family, here is a slice of reality: you deserve nothing from us taxpayers because your family member Wayne Scott Creach totally blew it. He did everything wrong. Now you want us to pay for his mistake.
First off, Mr. Creach grabbed his handgun to investigate a suspicious car parked in his parking lot. Wrong action. First, you must always secure your family. His wife was left alone – bad mistake. Next step is to call police and report your concern. If he would have done this, he would still be alive. His next mistake was playing Rambo, leaving his wife alone to confront the suspicious vehicle. It could have been a burglar there, then again it could have been some kids making out, a family needing rest from a long trip, someone with car trouble etc.
Turned out to be a cop and Rambo wasn’t about to take orders from him. Now he’s dead. An armed homeowner should know the basics of home defense, and when the Creach family is awarded millions of our tax dollars, I hope they use some of that money to learn it.
