And THAT Is How You Handle A Burglar

RALEIGH -- A burglary suspect wound up in the hospital with a broken ankle, cuts, bruises and a badly swollen eye after the victim bashed him in the face with a bedpost, authorities reported.

Lucio Medina Miranda, 40, of 2834 Avent Ferry Road, remained in custody at the Wake County jail Monday on charges of first-degree burglary, larceny after breaking and entering and felony possession of stolen goods, according to records filed at the Wake County Magistrate's Office. His bail is set at $108,000.

Federal immigration officials also have placed a retainer on him because they think he may be in this country illegally, a jail spokesman reported.

When her kids were threatened, the victim beat him into submission and held him until the cops arrived. I'm not a fan of vigilante justice, but when someone intrudes into a home, they get what they get. As we fight back more and more, the war on crime will become more personal. But that is also when we get to shine and declare loudly that we've had enough.

Take a good look. That's what hero looks like.
