Video: Man with cutlass defends home from bandits

[wickedtuna]

A Barataria man yesterday defended his home against bandits using his cutlass.

Police said the man was doing yard work at his 7th Avenue, Malick, Barataria, home at around midday when he saw two men with bandanas over their faces jump over the wall and into his yard.

The man, who had his cutlass in hand, ran upstairs to defend his 17-year-old daughter who was doing homework inside.

One of the bandits saw him and ran after him, however, the homeowner spun around and chopped the bandit once in the hand causing the gun to fall as the bandits ran away.

The man's daughter called the police as the incident was taking place.

Members of the North Eastern Division responded and confiscated the weapon left behind.

Police said the weapon had no ammunition.

Inquiries are continuing.

Hold dat in ymc .....yes ounce gee dem

[skylinechild]

hope the police step up patrols for the home owner. a reprisal attack may happen

[dregz]

I hope as citizens defend themselves, the law doesn't prosecute us.

If Mr bandit get chopped and then shot by the home owner, the courts better pat the homeowner on the back and say well done instead of jail time.

[pugboy]

dont count on it eh
judges started as lawyers/liars
and many lawyers have soft spots for bandits for a number of reasons
- earned a living from them
- bleeding heart mentality etc

I hope as citizens defend themselves, the law doesn't prosecute us.

If Mr bandit get chopped and then shot by the home owner, the courts better pat the homeowner on the back and say well done instead of jail time.

[X_Factor]

he already did the hard work he suppose to run him down and finish him off

[Ben_spanna]

well done , however knowing the fvcked up injustices in Trinidad, surely if he had chopped one of them , he would have been faced with charges himself.. The law in Trinidad protects the criminals and ridicules the innocent!

[Snags]

Well done on the homeowner's part!

[WarrLordd]

Is that report true?

The first video where u see a different angle I could of swear I seen the gun gone off when it was hit.

Or police just lying as usual to make the public not fear and play hero.

[Les Bain]

I'm sure the scum section of social media condemning the man for chopping one of the good boys.

Is christmas season and they was only trying to raise some funds for the football side christmas concert. He coulda just give them something small or ask them to leave his yard.

too bad unks wasnt a coconut vendor

[fouljuice]

He is a good boy.
In fact he so good, he had no intentions of shooting, that is why the gun was not loaded.
He never even hit or point the gun at uncle.

But uncle on the other hand might be charged for assaulting an innocent citizen with a deadly weapon.

[Sundar]

won't he be seeking medical attention for that chop? APB should have been placed at all medical institutions to look out for suspect with chop wound on hand.

[madd]

He should have chop him in the neck.

[rspann]

He should have chop him in the neck.

You spell the word "off" wrong.
