Home Invasions Scare me so much... For some reason it just seems so much more of and invasion of space and privacy when it is your home, vs. your car or a mugging on the street. Most people like myself feel home is my safe space from every day life. It is where you go to relax,entertain and mellow out. When someone comes in that is not welcome it is such a violation of your space, mind and heart.

I remember reading , "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote in 1979, and it never occured to me it was a "Home Invasion" But that is exactly what it was, not just a murder of the Clutter family, these two men penetrated the Clutter's lovely home and life. That was November. 15, 1959.

It is now 2008, and it seems home invasions are becoming more and more frequent and deadly.

Case after Case. CT Congressman Murphy wants a new law about Home Invasion, will that help or have we become a society who just needs to bare arms as the Constitution says, because the scum buckets of the world are out there and think they deserve what you have, without working for it.

Why is this not all over the news?
