I take it they don't have a Castle Doctrine in MA? +1 for the good guys.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. - Carl Sagan .When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours - Stephen Roberts

Criminals in MA. Say it aint so.
Good for the home owner and wish him a speedy recovery.

Good old fashioned justice. Of course the poor home owner will be hassled by the AG as it must be illegal in some way shape or form to defend yourself with deadly force if need be.
MA residents get out and vote in the Sept 14th primary election. request a republican ballot and write in James McKenna for AG. visit the site below and read the details. We need to remove that rights trampling moron Croakley from the office for good.

I think he'll be ok with the law.
He took about 3 bullets before he could even get his gun out.
The gun snagged on his shirt also which was a factor in preventing his speedy 'work'.
He did very well to survive and come out on top I must say.
The criminals were certainly taught a severe lesson.
