Medics who were called to the scene then pronounced Meyers dead.Indianapolis police Sgt. Matt Mount said Meyers had come into the home naked, except for a mask and latex gloves."He had rope, had a knife, had condoms, had a gag," Mount said.Police said Meyers had gotten into the home through a window next to the girl's bedroom and that he knew the home well because his uncle owns it and he was an acquaintance of the family.The teen awoke to find a naked man in her room and began screaming, alerting McNally, police said.During a protracted struggle in the hallway of the home, McNally was able to get his arm around Meyers' neck and subdue him while his wife called police, officers said.Meyers was a registered sex offender and was released from prison two years ago after he had served 10 years of a 20-year sentence for criminal confinement and sexual deviate conduct stemming from a case in Hamilton County.

I'm glad the father took immediate action to protect his daughter. To many people are afraid to take a stand.

...And in FUTURE NEWS, the family of dead sex fiend David Myers is suing Robert McNally for killing their precious son. Family member say the convicted sex offender was just trying to get into the daughter's room to leave her some free prophylactics to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS when he was brutally and unjustly strangled to death by McNally. As for being naked, the Myers family claims that their son's clothes just dematerialized as he was opening the window to climb into the McNally house. The Myers family is blaming those Swedish scientists were were trying to recreate a black hole by crashing 2 atoms into each other.

The sad thing is you could almost put that verbatim in some of today's lawsuits.

I'm glad that the girl is ok and that Meyers will not be hurting anyone else.

That's a crying shame. If he was still in prison he would still be alive. The liberal court system is responsible for this poor sex offender being murder in such a brutal fashion.

Indiana Becomes Third State to Make “Castle Doctrine” The Law of the Land
Friday, March 24, 2006

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has signed Indiana’s “Castle Doctrine” self-defense bill into law, making Indiana the third state to recognize the “Castle Doctrine” as law of the land.
...

The "Castle Doctrine" simply states that if a criminal breaks into your home, your occupied vehicle or your place of business, you may presume he is there to do bodily harm and you may use any force necessary against him.

Furthermore, this law provides protection from criminal prosecution and civil litigation for those who defend themselves from criminal attack.

Yeah what a shame.

Glad the girl got out ok.

Dad gets an award in my book. He took the asshole out, and didn't even get blood all over the place.

Nice, clean, and no holes to patch in the drywall.
