Homeowner shoots, kills 2 men in ski masks, bulletproof vests claiming to be police, HPD says
Two men are dead after police say they were impersonating officers at a southeast Houston home overnight.
You have a right to defend yourself. And that's exactly what he did. That's too dead Nazis keep thinning their ranks
Who didn't see that coming?
….and so it begins.
We need more of this.
Bound to happen. You can’t go parading around looking like that and not expect for peeps to protect themselves.
I guess the bullet proof vests weren't their best investment.
Houston 😢😢
Absolutely
Thanks to warrantless badgeless Jan 6ers being deputized for fuckery/ it’s getting more and more difficult to tell who is who and what is what
If they were impersonating police, that’s terrifying. Homeowners shouldn’t have to fear armed intruders posing as law enforcement—situations like this highlight why clear identification and accountability matter.
I’ve never been a gun toting supporter, but I’ve told everyone I know to go get a gun(s), learn to shoot effectively, & stock up on ammo. These guys have lost their minds. They need to lose their lives. Yeah, I said it. They do!
Ya, who didn't see this happening...
‘Never saw that coming’ said no-one ever 🤷🏼♀️
“Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.” … 🙃
The homeowner seems lucky, they weren't ICE.
If ICE doesn’t produce warrants I’m honestly confused why anyone complies with them ever. And why, without presenting ID this won’t inevitably begin happening to them
And here we go...
"Obviously, a police car with some sort of lights and sirens and a bullhorn where we'll be announcing ourselves," HPD Detective Kyle Stringer told Choi. Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks."
Someone let Krusty know.
I hope some intrepid reporter does a deep dive into the deceased identities.
Surprised we aren't hearing about more of this. The lack of appropriate identification, use of masks and lack of warrants is an open invitation for true criminals to impersonate ICE or police in attempts to commit home robberies. And local police/sheriffs lose credibility if they cooperate with ICE.
The Second Amendment fans should be 100% on board with this.
It was just a matter of time
Standing his ground no doubt
Even if they were cops.
More of that could happen because of fear. It doesn’t have to be that way.
We will not know the full outcome of this sad incident until we see how Fox spins it. Sort of a right wing koan. “We hate all immigrants but everyone should be fully armed with freely available weapons.” Hmmm? Fox heads may explode.
karma
You know those masked guys claiming to be ICE where many of them are just getting their vests from Amazon
They are nothing more than bounty contractors with a letter approving actions
How in the utter hell do they have federal protection while technically they are not sworn peace officers
It’s exactly what trump wants to happen…. so he can expand his authoritarianism. He’s going to keep Sending out His “militia ” on America to force citizens into submission to his will. HE WILL be the one coming after your guns. Watch and see America. It’s called Domestic terrorism.
Home Invaders are Home Invaders are Home Invaders!... Every Home Owner deserves to be safe from being Harmed and Invaded by Creatures with ski masks!!... ⚖️...⚖️...⚖️
MORE PLEASE. DEFEND YOURSELVES.
MASKED AND REFUSING TO IDENTIFY = NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT.
THAT IS THE DEFAULT.
Well done Trump, the master plan allowing masked Gestapo squads kidnapping people all over America is helping remind Americans of the Second Amendment ☠️
"Obviously, a police car with some sort of lights and sirens and a bullhorn where we'll be announcing ourselves," HPD Detective Kyle Stringer told Choi.
Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.“
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
Full on FAFO!
Get off my land
"Real officers do not wear ski masks."
About time, and I’m all here for it.
That will become common place in America but Americans must protect their homes & their families, that’s it. It is what it is. Americans didn’t ask for any of this DT, the GOP & the rich did.One day it might be them. Life is funny that way.
Homeowner exchanges gunfire through the door with two men in body armor, and kills them both while taking no injuries?
Nope, that's not suspicious at all. Nothing to see here.
Too bad they weren't actually ICE.
"Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks."
The thing about this story is...TRUMP IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES ! ! !
👍
It was only matter of time, and I'm surprised it hadn't happened sooner. I'd do the same, if they were attempting to enter my home to take my wife or children wearing masks and refusing to show identification or a warrant. Fuck ICE.
Got that, Stupid Noem and Stupider Trump? Seriously.
Good for that homeowner.
More of this, please.
Oops. 😬
How disappointing to think that you finally get to use your 2nd Amendment rights to fight tyranny, only to find out that all you did was prevent a robbery.
Eventually this will happen to actual ICE/"LEO" and we'll be told we can no longer defend against masked intruders unless we first talk to them and verify they are intruders.
More of this, please, when masked men without IDs or warrants directly threaten your safety. Hold your ground.
Shooting masked men threatening violence seems like the most natural American response I can think of.
You know the same thing has to happen to the ones who are not impersonators for this to stop and to end fascism, just Saying
It's not an unheard of home invasion tactic. I also am sure even if this happens to ICE people the agency will pretend they were random dudes and they never heard of them. That's the fate of a mercenary
Maga will hate stand your ground laws in 3 2 1
This is only going to get worse and it is all on trump, Steven miller, Bondi, et al.
First Blood goes to TX.
Going to start happening to ice.
Notice the article doesn't say they weren't police....
"Real police don't wear ski masks" where's this guy been the last few months.
Good I hope a lot more of those gestapo meet the same end.
So Trump is going to send the troops in to occupy Texas now, right? Right?
If guys in masks show up at your door, kill them!
This will also happen where I live in a southern town.
Am I the only one who’s a little disappointed they weren’t really ICE agents?
More like this
More of this, please. Make these motherfuckers think about how willing they are to die for their shameful jobs.
This should be the thousandth story not the first.
Probably white. I don’t think any person of color, however lightly shaded, has the same right to stand their ground.
I wonder if BotoxBarbie will claim them…or just desert them for PR sake…
i bought a gun because i saw this coming. i hope i never have to use mine
just a matter of time... the time appears to be now
FAFO
Good cops know this is going to happen, but they and the FOP are silent.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
How long until we find out they were off-duty ICE dipshits?
Finally.
The New Far West has just started...
“Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.”
Interesting that the police officer said that real officers don’t wear masks. So is the conclusion that anyone who spots a masked man claiming to be ICE should immediately call the local police department?
It’s only a matter of time before this type of scenario happens with ICE.
🤔Bound to happen again because Texans are allowed by law to shoot to defend their property. Castle Doctrine.
If the “police” shot first, then they should have known what might happen.
If they were ICE - now they are on ice 😵🧊
We need more of this.
I'm only surprised that they weren't actually #TrumpTroops.
FELON/Sexual Predator Trump & his band of Nazis are inspiring criminals & making it easier for them to commit crimes against Americans across the nation.
Is this what those 77 million [if accurate] easily conned idiots thought they were voting for in November 2024? Oh, and #FoodPrices are soaring!
It will be very interesting to find out if they were regular criminals or regular criminals being paid by #ICE 🤔
With ICE running around in masks and vests, rousting people, and criminals imitating the cops, we don’t know who to shoot anymore. I guess we just do what we have to and que dios los separe.
In Texas 🙄? Oh, I’m oh so shocked 🙄😳🙄😳🙄.
Is there an issue? 🤷🏽♀️😈
"Real law enforcement officers don't wear masks..."
Good...fewer Trump Nazis on the streets
Imagine being an actual police officer trying to do an already almost impossible job in good faith.
The real abuses of Trump’s paramilitary ICE is going to get real cops killed.
Back the blue, my ass.
Surprised it took this long. You come into my home with masks? You’re going to leave with buckshot in your chest.
I’ve thought it was weird this hasn’t happened sooner. These people, their vehicles aren’t identifiable.
📌
We will probably be seeing more of this. Stand your ground indeed. The article says the homeowner shot the two goons wearing "bulletproof vests" and the two goons were found dead. Maybe the cheapest option on Amazon for personal protection is not always best choice.
So now that they are dead, “real” authorities should be able to identify them. Who were they???
Can't much blame the homeowner. I'd probably done the same thing.
They are going to continue eroding public faith in law enforcement and it is going to come down to none of them being able to do their job. To which I assume that chaos is the goal
As they say, play stupid games, get stupid prizes.
Oops. My bad.
This is the consequence of the police state bumblefuck is creating.
Abso-effing-lutely THIS. It's surprising that this isn't a more frequent occurrence given the lawlessness with which these people are acting.
Yesss MORE OF THIS!
You'd think there would be more of this.
You almost hope there would be more of this.
So, when all those gun nutters with monster weapons and thousands of rounds start acting on their "it's for de gubbmett teerahhhneee" ...what's gonna be the result?
Yikes.
Maybe this will slow the gravy seals? Honestly, they should be shot at every time they roll up to someone’s house/car/business with their masks and Amazon costumes.
eventually some ice goons are going to stumble into the wrong house and there’s going to be an ok corral
The “anti-crime” felonious administration emboldening criminals nationally.
When they come at you like that, you shoot first and ask questions later.
Remember: if they’re wearing a vest, aim for the mask.
Cool.
I do not own a gun; never shot one. I'm scared of them, and people that sling them about. I don't see well and am a tiny, tiny woman. I sure as hell admire standing up for oneself.
First time agreeing with stand your ground.
It probably was ICE on a break so they figured they’d go rob some ppl or get their kicks in for the night. 😡
Good I'm glad it turned out Ok. But this is going to become more common. Next time it might be real fake ICE bums that get the stand your ground treatment. I won't shed any tears about that either.
You’re impersonating a police officer, try to enter my home and you end up dead. That’s a you problem.
Oh
"Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks." Well, how about that.....
I like where this is going
Tell that to ICE! Shoot first for your safety and the safety of your loved ones.
It’s going happen more and more. How can we tell who is legitimate law enforcement any more?
The real question is were they "real" cops?
ATTN: ICE
“Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.”
Hmmm????
Good
"Police said the two men were wearing bulletproof vests and had some sort of badge around their necks."
Jfc. What's the difference?
They announced as police and then they shot at him through the door before he opened fire in return.
What's the difference?
Is the gun ok? Please tell me the gun was not hurt.
I am just waiting for the NRA to jump on this and cheer.
“See? Y’all really do need guns to defend your homes against anyone, even the state, who comes to you illegally.”
Any day now…..
Self defense.
Here’s a handy guide to distinguishing real Federal agents from criminals and fascist thugs.
I live in a stand your ground state and legally I have no duty to retreat. Anyone coming to my door wearing a mask and armed will be greeted in the same fashion. We are at the beginning of a Civil War and bad people will take advantage of the situation, so now is the time to protect yourself.
They got what they deserved. Period.
Castle doctrine, stand your ground and all that
With the surge this year in masked goons trying to break into people’s homes, I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often
Honestly surprised it took until now.
Welcome to Texas
I guess the vests didn't work, huh.
So is Trump sending the National Guard to Houston next?
I hope the story goes viral & serves as an inspiration to citizens & a warning to men with micropenises dressed in uniforms, wearing masks, with no warrant, & no ID…you know who you are!!!
Sadly, more of this to come. Criminal minded opportunists are lit up with the chance to wear the look of the law and get away with crimes…. ICE inspired. My shotgun awaits any asshole who tries to mess with me and my wolf-ish dog, Peachy. Bless the wild 4 leggeds 💘
I love the last line, “Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.” Take note ICE.
This should be happening a lot more often as it is our right! No badge, no warrant = criminals. #fuckICE
Well, 2nd Amendment and all...
You should be able to shoot anybody that’s wearing a mask with no identification that’s coming after you. I’m sorry that’s how I feel and I believe that’s how everybody used to feel before MAGA. And no I’m not a gun nut.
Boom
So, a bit more than just lying about who they were… (emphasis on ‘were’)
👏👏👏👏👏
Good for the man who defended his family, himself and his property.
And per the article, the masked men shot first; the homeowner fired in self-defence. Which seems reasonable in this situation - matching their weaponry with the same. Unfortunately for them, he was a better shot
Why are the identities of the dead assailants not public information?
Card carrying member of Locked and Loaded Liberals 🇺🇸 “You want to go to war, we’ll take you to war, okay?”
Bout fucking time someone shot back. Sucks they were just regular criminals not white nationalists.
You know… I don’t own a gun… Even in the face of armed assailants, shoot back wouldn’t be my go to. That said? It sounds like they had it coming.
If someone asks to see a warrant, you either produce exactly that, or you walk away. They did neither, so after that it’s classic FAFO.
Good, I take any masked people with no ID as threats to my life and safety.
We will see more of this.
two less MAGAts.
good.
“Real officers do not wear ski masks”
The Re offending rate of Dead People in Ski masks is Zero %
Has anyone from law enforcement confirmed that they were not feds yet? And if they were feds, would they admit it? I assume they would have to eventually.
What jury would convict? “2 men in ski masks” could be criminals, hijackers, kidnappers, who knows what they are up to? I’m sure the homeowner was afraid and was defending himself and his family (in their mind)!
As is there right to do
Surprised this hasn't happened a lot more.
This is going to start happening a lot more.
This is going to get worse because these Ice, KKK thugs, have noone overseeing them. Pretty soon they will be attacking stores and people to get extra money.
Hey man nice shot.
It's going to happen. Citizens are allowed to be armed. No badge? No name tag? Hiding behind a mask and sunglasses? With all of the Right wing nutjobs loving military cosplay you don't really know who's assaulting you.
Poor boys??
We'll see a lot more of this, both ways. Trump has unleashed a national masked crime wave.
More of this is going to happen as long as we have people running around in their cosplay bullshit they bought on Amazon and they're going to deserve it.
The one reason the often misinterpreted 2nd amendment exists and the pussies at nra are silent. Proof that they do not represent gun owners. They only represent the gun manufacturers that are arming the drug cartels south of the border so that they can deliver more illegal fentanyl to the U.S.!
From the article:
"Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks."
LOL. I think they were in a coma the last 6 months.
This thing is really bugging me... Have they identified the men who were killed?
That's fine.
Stranger Danger!! Wear a mask, get a tap!!
Next!
I wonder if it will take a few actual ICE agents/cosplay boys getting shot to slow their arrests down ?
Trump's ICE thugs masked and without identification have left the door open for impersonation by the criminally minded for committing rape and crimes against innocent victims.
"At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire."
I would not be surprised if this detail were not true. But I doubt the police or DA would care.
strike 1
Can’t say I blame them. Covered faces, refusing to give names and badge numbers. It’s a recipe for disaster all the way around. This will only escalate as this authoritarian regime ramps up the chaos.
