A mother of two has been hailed a hero by her husband after she shot an intruder in their Loganville, Ga., home last Friday afternoon.
“She protected the kids. She did what she was supposed to do as a responsible, prepared gun owner,” said her husband, Donnie Herman, in an interview with ABC’s Atlanta affiliate WSB-TV.
According to Herman and the Walton County Sheriff’s Office incident report, Melinda Herman was working at home when a man began to ring the doorbell. She called her husband at work, who told her to gather their 9-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, and go hide. All three of them went to an upstairs crawl space, and Melinda brought along a .38 caliber handgun to the hiding place.
Her husband, meanwhile, called the police. In the 911 recording, Herman can be heard saying, “She shot him. She’s shooting him, she’s shooting him. Shoot him again.”
“I heard him pleading,” her husband said to the 911 operator. “He was screaming.”
The man allegedly broke into the house and rummaged around before making his way to the crawl space, where he found the mother and children hiding.
“The perpetrator opens that door, and of course at that time he’s staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver,” said Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman to WSB-TV.
Melinda Herman shot the intruder five times, hitting him in the face and neck. Chapman said she told the man if he moved she would shoot him again, although she had run out of bullets.
“The guy is [heard] telling her to quit shooting,” said Chapman.
The intruder, who police identified as 32-year-old Paul Slater, managed to get to his car and as he tried to flee, crashed into a tree. Deputies later found him in a neighbor’s yard.
Melinda Herman and her children, in the meantime, had sought refuge in a neighbor’s home.
“Her life is saved and our kids lives are saved. And that’s all I can say,” said Donnie Herman.
Slater is currently in the Gwinnett Medical Center, receiving treatment for his injuries, which deputies described as serious. A family member told WSB-TV that Slater was on a ventilator and had endured puncture wounds to his lungs, liver and stomach.

There was a famous case in the UK of Tony Martin, a farmer who shot and killed a thief in his farmhouse August 1999. I personally feel that when a thief enters somewhere with intent to steal or do harm, then that person is taking a risk, and if he or she gets killed, then that is the risk that he took. Whoever injures or kills the intruder is justified and should be supported by the authorities and the police. Its the law of the jungle, so Melinda Herman was only doing what she should be doing, defending her home and her children. The thief was asking for trouble, and that was his downfall. I have absolutely no pity for this person who should now go to jail for a long time.
This also shows that a simple revolver was adequate for home defense. She didn’t need a Bushmaster with a 30-round clip.
Spaztic language about who is right and wrong on the gun issues were decided in 1776 MF. I want to change the subject of gun control to the subject of, I would not require a bushmaster with a 30-round clip if they would first get rid of all the pedofiles who advocate the overthrow of my society, along with their gay supporters and obviously the ACLU.. When the gays gain control there will not a safe place for real men anywhere on this planet. Old white men with soft penis, and twisted imaginations are the problem OK. They stir up shit and charge us, for them to klean it up.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts has decided to defend a group that advocates legalization of sex between men and boys in a $200 million federal lawsuit brought by the family of a murdered boy.
”It’s not a real popular case,” John Roberts, the executive director of the Massachusetts A.C.L.U., said yesterday. ”But the First Amendment issues are clear.” If the issues are so clear it is clear to me that I must have @ least a 30 round clip. Will someone ban all homosexuals and pedofiles from our midst? HMMMMMMMM
Last May, the parents of the boy, 10-year-old Jeffrey Curley, sued the North American Man/Boy Love Association in Federal District Court, charging that the group’s Web site and literature had incited the killing and attempted sexual assault of their son three years ago in East Cambridge, Mass.
Ban websites, and bicycles and cars pedofiles pick up little boys in.
argue with these maggots about what they cant stand to talk about and not the other way around. You can always change the subject if you do not like the existing one. ”Talk gun control but always link it with what is on your table of interest and tie it in. You will blow them right out of the room with the gay, homo, transgender groups who support child rape and molestation of little boys and girls. Aint nobody gonna compromise their freedom gained and give up their constitutional right to bear arms. Get rid of the homos and gun debates will go away. Same ppl sponser all this crap. Especially the gay’s and the pedofiles who are one and the same MF. How you folks get so damn stupid is what I ponder lately. All the debates sound like some gunior high contest of rivals and not serious ppl gaining control of their lives. Someone should just tell Feinstein to FUCK OFF.

Mr. Roberts and other A.C.L.U. officials said Nambla did not advocate the rape and murder of children. It advocates changing the law to make sex between men and boys legal, and political advocacy, Mr. Roberts said, is protected speech.
”Regardless of whether people agree with or abhor Nambla’s views,” the A.C.L.U. said in a statement yesterday, ”holding the organization responsible for crimes committed by others who read their material would gravely endanger our important First Amendment freedoms.”
The A.C.L.U. said, ”We join with all others in deploring the heinous crimes committed against Jeffrey Curley,” adding, ”those who commit illegal acts can be punished for wrongful conduct.
”But the expression of even offensive ideas is protected by the Constitution,” the A.C.L.U. said.
Mr. Frisoli said Nambla’s activities passed ”far beyond free speech.”
”We allege an ongoing criminal conspiracy for the rape of children in America,” he said. ”They’ve been hiding behind the First Amendment for a long time.”
Last week in a Massachusetts state court, in a suit against the two men who were convicted of killing their son, the boy’s parents were awarded $328 million, one of the largest wrongful death verdicts in Massachusetts history, Mr. Frisoli said. Now, the family hopes a federal jury will do the same.
”I respect the A.C.L.U., and on most occasions I agree with the positions they take,” he said. ”But we’re not talking about gay rights. We’re not talking about consensual sex between adults. We talking about the rape of children.”
The A.C.L.U. office in Boston was deluged with phone calls yesterday, mostly from the news media.
”The threats haven’t started yet,” said Harvey Silverglate, a board member. ”That usually comes a day later. But the phones haven’t stopped ringing. I find it extraordinary that people find what we’re doing extraordinary. You’d think by now that people would know that we take the Supreme Court seriously when it says that the First Amendment is there to protect unpopular speech.”

Plucassf501 – Just so you know. Gay people are no more pedophiles than people like you – so racist “straight” bigot punkass bitch. If I had a gun! You are a total effin obtuse pill. When you end up in prison I hope karma gangbangs your ass with black monstercocks and fists til you wear diapers and get pimped out to the boyz. You deserve nothing less.
Must have struck a nerve Dave. Can You Prove What You Say Is True Dave.If not go with the truth. Fact: The National Man Boy Love Aliance advocates sex with boys, The Talmund says that a priest can marry a 3 year old girl and she will not be considered a ho if married before 3 years and one day. You Dave are one twisted freak in my opinion. They should watch men like you, Dave with your schichotic ways. Take your meds Dave and get off the little boy, let him go Dave it is not right. Little boys are 75% of molestation casses and there is only 3% gay population. Dave plain and simple truth is the Gay men permit the Boy Sex freaks march in their GLTG parades with the largets sign of all of the others. It is usually red in color. If you nwere molested as a child Dave you must be in an awful lot of pain and I get it. Don’t shoot the messenger Dave. Fag men are the real threat to the white civilization. How can they ever be civilized with these freaks in their midst Dave. I want no part of your freak society and anyone who has any brains will find you out and your kind Dave. Your kind are losers and wimps with small penis and large feelings for sick shit Dave. I got all the proof in the world and all the time also Davfe. What do you havge except for lies, distortions, name calling like some scorned women, All men who do not stand up to this are just another punk-bitch in my opinion and are useless as tits on a bull Dave. You twisted white devil’s make excuses for everything just like the lies in your bible, the Talmund and all that. I want someone to Tell me if the Jews came from Judeah. Where in the hell is Judeah. I have yet to ever see or hear of any place called Judeah except for in your twisted fake ass history Dave. What a Fkin Moron you and your entire clan must be Dave. I hope someone takes you ppl out soon. The entire world is watching you you idiot. Idiot means someone who can not think properly, someone who has no capacity for common scence. You can run but you can’t hide Dave. We are on to you and the rest of the Pedofile old men black and white Dave, and any other color or creed. If Black men don’t link themselves topgether and build their own world wide army from around the world we will eventually have to continue to rely on your kind for protection. We must be able to declare all over the planet that if you touch one of our children, there will be no court in the world that can protect you from retribution. In the Muslim world, when you steal and get caught, they would cut off your hands. They would hang horse thieves ans run away niggers in America. What makes you think anyone will believe you when I bring facts and you bring your faggot anger to the table Dave. What a chicken shit fool you must be dave. I could kick your punk ass in a heart beat or have some of my boys take care of you swiftly freak boy. I reoeat Dave. Padofiles and homosexuality are one and the same thing and they are all one and the same people. Just like the Bloodlines of the elite the pedofiles are in the same frame of refrences in my opininion Dave. Connect the dots is all you have to do Dave. Queen of England has never been caught murdering anyone has she. Yet she is responsible for the deaths and murders of hundreds of millions of black, brown and white ppl. Ok’s kind of like my way or the Hwy, Dave. You god damn degenerate, no history, no culture freaks is what you are Dave. Ha Ha you hammer head, keep beating it against the wall it may help. Can’t be any worse that what you have up their now disquised as a brain. God
damn fake ass jews suck, with that Kazar shit face smiles you use on people. Smut pedelling freaks.
Lets see now, male priest and little choir boys…..yep homosexuality is tainted with pedophilia in a big way.
