A Black Lives Matter supporter traveled to a police officer’s home Saturday evening in St. Louis and met Jesus after throwing a 50-pound planter through a window in the rear of the house to make entry. The Black Lives Matter supporter’s goal? Apparently he thought he was going to intimidate the police officer and his family… at their own home.
Well, guess who brought a cement planter to a gunfight? You can probably figure out who won that conflict, right?
LAKESHIRE, MISSOURI (Post-Dispatch) • An off-duty St. Louis County police officer shot and killed a man who tried to enter his home in Lakeshire in South County on Saturday afternoon, according to police.
The intruder was a 20-year-old man known to the family who had recently made threats toward the family and “uninvolved members of the community” on Facebook, police said Saturday night.
Police Sunday morning identified the intruder as Tyler Gebhard, 20, of the 7900 block of Navajoe Street in the Affton area.
He was a good kid though. Just ask his dysfunctional family:
An uncle, Patrick Brogan, 57, of Waterloo, said ..
“He was like a normal 20-year-old…,” Brogan said.
Nikki Toal, a family friend who also resides in Waterloo, described Gebhard as a “wonderful kid.”
“He was a sweetheart,” Toal told a reporter outside the family’s Affton home. “The nicest person you could ever meet.”
…The Affton School District website notes that Gebhard was a 2014 recipient of the Howard Foundation of St. Louis Scholarship, awarded by the United Negro College Fund.
Brogan called his nephew “a hard-hitting kid at football.”
Gebhard, he added, also excelled at golf.
“As far as a person, was the nicest kid you could ever meet,” Brogan said. “He was just a normal 20-year-old.”
So what happened?
The officer, the chief said, was at home about 5:50 p.m. with his wife, mother-in-law, a toddler and an infant child when a man later identified as Gebhard started ringing the doorbell.
When the wife answered the door with the infant, she immediately recognized Gebhard.
She shut the door and went to a back bedroom with other family members.
Belmar said that before the officer could get to the front door, Gebhard went to the rear of the house, where he threw a 50-pound concrete planter through a window to enter the home.
Members of the family in the bedroom said they heard the officer tell the intruder to “get down, get down, get down,” and then heard several shots fired, Belmar said.
As the shots were being fired, members of the family were trying to escape from a bedroom window.
Gebhard was shot twice in the chest. He was taken to St. Anthony’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. “I don’t think the officer had a choice — I honestly don’t,” Belmar said. He called it “a very difficult position to be in.”
Black Lives Matter… a bunch of thugs, bullies and social justice warriors.
When the rubber meets the road, they bleed quite nicely.
