Breakfast Granola for 3/23/11

From the general googlewebs, file under "Guns don't kill people. Pink guns do!":
When a burly ex-convict forced his way into a posh Florida home last week, he had no idea what awaited him -- a 25-year-old beauty queen with a pink .38-caliber handgun.

Meghan Brown, a former Florida pageant queen, shot and killed 42-year-old Albert Franklin Hill during a home invasion March 12 at the 2,732-square-foot house she shares with her fiance in Tierra Verde, Fla.

Brown, who reigned as the 2009 Miss Tierra Verde, snatched her gun from a nearby bedroom and shot the suspect several times – hitting him in the chest, groin, thigh and back, her fiance said. Hill was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hill had a criminal record stretching back nearly three decades -- including arrests for burglary, battery, drug possession and grand theft. He reportedly served a 13-year prison term in 1987 and was released in September after serving a fourth term behind bars.

1) Way to go, Meghan! This goes to show that it's not the color or caliber, but wherewithal and killshots, that'll put down an orc.

2) Way to go, Criminal Justice System! he said sarcastically. The only thirty year career not worth having ought to be a criminal career, but Hill sure tried. Too bad it took a civilian to end it when it could have been ended previously by solid incarceration.
