"You don't think" is more than likely accurate. The story of the 11 year
old girl shooting the intruders, no matter how motivational it may be, is
still false.

If you care to prove me wrong, feel free to site a legitimate source of
information.

Why? Because I've already proven that I'm right.

Maybe it is false, I don't know. But what is this snopes? How does Snopes
know if something is true or false, I don't put to much weight in them, And
sure don't look at Snopes as a legitimate source of
> information.


If this ever happened to my kid I hope she would do the same thing.

Because they actually tried to verify the story, using the information
in the story. Did you actually bother to read the snopes account?

The only documentation for this item appears to be numerous web
sites all citing the same information, with no details of time
or place (other than a reference to Montana). Searches of news
databases (including Montana-based newspapers) fail to turn up
any corresponding news stories containing any of the four names
provided and the name of one of the putative criminals ("Ralphel
Resendez") just happens to echo an alias (Raphael
Resendez-Ramirez) used by Angel Maturino Resendiz (also an
illegal alien), the infamous Railroad Killer.

Although many versions of this item cite the home invasion
incident as having taken place in Butte, Montana, that area's
sheriff has said no such thing occurred in that city:

When asked about the authenticity of the events described in
this story, Butte-Silver Bow Sheriff John Walsh told The
Montana Standard that his office never investigated such an
incident. "This never happened," Walsh said.

I wouldn't sweat this guy too much. He's a condescending little shit with a
big ego and a small intellect. (These type of people are really fun to piss
off - if you're patient enough to find his/her weakness.)

Quotes from the county sheriff don't count for you?

Good luck.

Ironic that FIRST you declare Snopes to be Bullshit, and THEN you admit that
you do NOT know what Snopes is...
Maybe you should try to THINK BEFORE you post

You should write
"I don't"
You have already demonstrated your ignorance
Why keep proving it ?
