A word of warning to anyone considering robbing a geek...don’t take his computer, he might just kick your ass. The funny thing is that the victim had no problem coughing up the wallet but when it came to his laptop, he gave the robber stitches in the head instead. Thanks to Tytalus for the feel good story of the day!

ASU student Alex Botsios said he had no problem giving a nighttime intruder his wallet and guitars. When the man asked for Botsios' laptop, however, the first-year law student drew the line.

He wouldn't have gotten anything from me. I may be skinny, but I'm 6'5" and super strong when the adrenaline kicks in.
 
lmao @ "It's my baby," he said. "Don't mess with my computer." Honorary [H] Member
 
I'm the same way. Not the computers. I'd fight to the death if need be. I suppose it would be difficult to explain why I felt the need to kill an intruder, but I can't imagine I'd care at the time.
 
Funny story, but thedude's mom is a bit odd.

" I'm like putting my face in my hands, and I just couldn't believe it," she said. "I was like, 'Oh my God.' I'm so glad he watched all those police shows his whole life … He knew how to take care of himself … I'm very, very, very proud of him."
 
That lappy held his acedemic lifeblood in it. Of course he was going to fight for it.
 
The thief better hope he doesn't get shot by me if he's sneaking around with a weapon in my place.
 
Naw, you generally don't really need porn in college. Oh wait, he's a geek. Nevermind.
 
Hes no hero in my book. You come into my house and try to rob me of anything, even if its just fricking dryer lint, its on like donkey kong btiches.
 
Somehow his thinking is skewed... Sure teh laptop has 4 months of work on it, but how many weeks or months of work went into anything else he was willing to give up.

All your getting is 1oz of lead from me buddy.
 
As I live in Texas, I would have kept shooting him after reloading. You can never be too sure that someone's not going to survive 10 gunshot wounds and sue you.
 
Well, I can tell you, having gone through law school...the reason he drew the line there was the notes. The value of your class notes, especially at the end of the semester is beyond words in law school. Honestly, given the intense nature of law school, he may as well have thrown the whole year and possible the other 2 away if he lost those notes.

That being said...that is why I keep my shotgun loaded with 2.75" slugs under my bed and my FN-57 loaded next to me in the night stand. If you are found in my house tonight....you WILL be found there in the morning.

So many parts of that are so sad and true. #1...yeah..people getting shot is hardly like the movies. 1 round rarely stops anyone, unless it is to a vital area, and then often times, they keep fighting even though they are dead. They just don't know it yet. #2..getting sued by the guy who breaks in....sad but possible.
 
Also a Texan here with a concealed carry permit. And its good to hear that he fought back and was victorious.

thieves are the lowest form of life - I keep a Mossberg 500 on the wall behind my bedroom door, and carrr an XD9 subcompact if i'm out and about.

If someone ever had the balls to break into my place I would be more then happy to treat them to a few free shells of 3" 00 buck.

You always shoot to kill - never to injure. The general rule I was taught is you keep firing till the threat has been eliminated, so if they are still moving towards me I keep firing.
 
About 6 years ago our house caught fire the only thing I took out was my computer and xbox.
 
I wonder how many of you guys would REALLY attack a burglar. It's too easy to beat your chest and say bring it on, and when it actually happens, you'll be under your bed sucking your thumbs. :p

Break into my house and find out :D:eek:
 
I don't worry about thieves. I have an ill tempered Chihuahua just waiting for the chance to kill a man. :D
 
So he carries months of irreplaceable notes on a laptop and doesn't have it backed up? It would be quite ironic if after fighting off an intruder, the hard drive fails next week. :D
 
It's sad to see every post wanking over how great it would be to shoot someone and reeling off how many (unnecessary) guns you own.

Why are geek forums so awash with ITGs?? :confused:
 
New slogan with a Microsoft theme:

"Don't five finger that lappy!"

:p

I would. Depends what I have on hand. If I have nothing, I'm running like a little chicken.... If I have a good object or weapon near hand, I'm going in.

I can vouch for my defendng defending his home, I just pray I have the same guts when the shit hits the fan.
