This belongs in News of the Weird - Housebreaker Calls 911 on Homeowner

I'll just share what Rush had to say about it. I don't know that it's really emblematic of what's going on in Wisconsin, but what I'll be really interested to see in future is if this housebreaker tries to sue the homeowner for threatening him with a gun. It would not surprise me at all if he did, and if a court actually allowed such a lawsuit to go forward!

Story #1: Perfect Metaphor for What's Happening in Wisconsin

RUSH: This story is a metaphor for what's going on in Wisconsin and the rest of the country, with public sector unions versus the taxpayers. Listen. It's a CNN story: "A man who broke into a house in Portland, Oregon, called police..." The guy who broke INTO the house called 911, saying he was "afraid the homeowner may have a gun. The suspect, Timothy James Chapek, was in the bathroom taking a shower when the homeowner returned to the house Monday night, Portland police said in a statement.

"Accompanied by two German shepherds, the homeowner asked Chapek what he was doing in the house. Chapek locked himself in the bathroom and made an emergency call, police said. He said he had broken into the house, the owner had come home, and that he was concerned the owner might have a gun." So the thief calls 911 to turn in the owner of the house! Is this not sort of like what's going on in Wisconsin, with the public sector unions versus the taxpayer? "The homeowner also called the police to report that he had found a man in the house."

So the cops had dueling 911 calls. Oh, my gosh, who do we believe? "Police with dogs took Chapek, 24, into custody 'without incident,' they said. He was booked for criminal trespass. They did not say if the homeowner did in fact have a gun," but he did have dogs as did the cops. So why didn't the perp call PETA? So here you have a perfect metaphor of what's going on. The thief, the intruder, the public sector union breaks into the house and calls 911, afraid that the taxpayer (the governor) might have a gun, while he's using their bathroom.
