Elderly man holds burglar for police, NWCN, Portland, Ore. 03/28/13

Posted on April 5, 2013

82-year-old Jim Brazel and his wife were asleep at home in Linn County, Ore. when they were awakened
by suspicious noises coming from Brazel?s workshop. After retrieving a .410 shotgun, Brazel went to
investigate and discovered a burglar. Brazel said to the man, ?You take one more step and this gun
goes off in the middle of your chest. Do what you want.? The criminal chose to stay put until
police could arrive, 20 minutes later.

Following the incident, Brazel spoke of the burglar to local media, stating, ?He?s making a mistake
to try country people? Because 99 percent of us are all the same. We?re not afraid to shoot.? (NWCN,
Portland, Ore. 03/28/13)

Thank God for a gun.

Why did it take the police 20 minutes to arrive?

No idea. Maybe they lived out in the country.
