Cape Girardeau(Missouri) woman kills man who returned to rape her second time
Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch

An intended rape victim shot and killed her attacker this morning in Cape Girardeau when he broke into her home to rape her a second time, police said.

The 57-year-old woman shot Ronnie W. Preyer, 47, a registered sex offender, in the chest with a shotgun when he broke through her locked basement door.

The woman told police he was the same man who raped her several days earlier. Officials do not intend to seek charges against her.




She tried to call 911, but couldn't because the power was off. She got a shotgun and waited as the man began banging on the basement door. She fired when Preyer came crashing through the door. When Preyer collapsed, the woman escaped and went to a neighbor's home, where she called police. Officers, who arrived within a minute, found a bleeding Preyer stumbling away from the house. He was taken to St. Francis Medical Center, where he died several hours later.

2. Good for her!
She did exactly the right thing, IMHO...

What a scary place to be!

She sure had considerable presence of mind.

9. How awful.
She should have shot his genitals off so he'd live to think about it for the rest of his life.

13. A shotgun is not a good tool for surgically removing genitals.

16. A pleasing cosmetic result is not what we're after, here. We're shooting for "nonfunctionality."
If he ended up peeing at a 90-degree angle and singing soprano, that's just fine. I'm glad she killed him. I wish every woman could do the same.

18. A friend of mine always used to say that the best punishment for a rapist
was to nail his personals to a tree, hand him a knife, and set the tree on fire.
Waste of a perfectly good tree though...

Personally, I think rapists should have their genitalia AND their arms amputated. You don't need a dick to commit rape, but I bet they'd have a hard time overpowering anyone if they were armless.

11. At least this illustrates the utility of conventional(powered) land-line phones
What is she going to do in a weather emergency? :shrug:

19. Yep. Always have a cheap old-style phone handy.
They're like nine bucks at Kmart.

21. We keep an old phone around for power emergencies too.
A call from an old style phone or a cell phone to 911 is a nice recording that the need for police assistance is urgent. Be sure it captures you yelling a warning that you are scared for your life and you are armed. Then shoot til you hit empty chambers.

12. Why was he out?
Didn't he get charged for the first rape?

Fucking nightmare. I hope she's all right.

15. Smart lady!
And good for her that she got that scum.

I've dreamt off and on for twenty two years that I did the same. Sadly, it was only a dream.

20. Bravo ! She had every right to take that scumbag out.
It's a shame she got no help from the "Authorities" before. Mystereo, here's where we can agree, this is clearly appropriate use of a firearm, stealing a yard sign, not so much............

22. Good job! Repeat sex offender gone
and his victim lives to see another day, without having to be raped again.



Why are guns so bad or so useless for self-defence again?

EDIT TO ADD: The handgun in the picture above could be banned if H.R. 1022 passes and is signed into law.

24. It took the sorry sumbitch "several hours" to check out...
And personally, I hope the bastard suffered for every damned minute of it.

26. Cape Girardeau
But, you do know that this is Rush Limpbaugh's hometown, don't you?
Not that it really makes any difference in the outcome, but how could anybody from there do anything like that? (you pick your side!)
Just sayin'. (Palin wink!)
