A lot of people seem to believe that if you are the victim of a crime, the police will show up to save you and your family from the bad guys. The problem with this belief is that it is not based in reality. While there are occasions where law enforcement is able to intervene to actually stop a crime in progress, much of the time police are simply dealing with the aftermath of a misdeed.

A Houston man knew this and instead of cowering in a closet waiting to be murdered, he did what he had to do to protect himself and his family.
