Bun B, real name Bernard Freeman, a rapper and businessman used a pistol to defend his house after a home invader threatened his wife and stole his car. CBS News. The rapper's wife, Queen Freeman opened the door after someone was knocking because she thought she had a delivery coming. The attacker than forced his way inside and pointed a gun at Freeman. She handed over her keys and possessions and told the man to take the car. Bun B heard the commotion, grabbed his gun and fired his gun as the man was stealing his car. The man was fleeing on foot and Bun B was chasing him and was able to identify him after his mask slipped off. The suspect, Demonte Alif Jackson, was arrested at a local hospital and changed with two counts of robbery with a deadly weapons and one count of burglary. 

My Comment:

I don't know anything about rap or rappers but I thought this was a good story of self defense. This situation would have gone much worse if Bun B hadn't been armed. It's very possible that both he and his wife could have been killed or worse. At the very least the suspect would have likely have gotten away with his crime as he had to seek treatment for his wounds. If he hadn't been shot he would have escaped and could have done this to someone else. 

It was pretty clearly a good shoot. I'm no expert on Texas law but I know they have castle doctrine so he was more than justified in shooting. Even if they didn't have castle doctrine, it would have been a good shooting as the suspect was threatening people with a gun. It's very obviously a case of self defense. 

It also sounds like they got the suspect dead to rights. They should be able to match his wounds to Bun B's gun and Bun B will be able to identify him. He doesn't have any defense for what he did and I'm assuming he will try and cop a plea deal due to overwhelming evidence against him.

I want to say that this incident shows that gun rights are for everyone. It doesn't matter what race you are, it doesn't matter what you do for a living, it doesn't matter who you are. You have a right to defend yourself and use a gun if someone breaks into your house.

It's also a good lesson to home invaders. Just because someone is a celebrity doesn't mean they are defenseless. Though many celebrities are hypocrites about gun rights, any criminal that attacks them do so at their own risk. This is probably especially true for rappers. I can't imagine that in most cases trying to rob a celebrity is going to go well for you...
