Less than a year after Sean Taylor was killed by an intruder in his home, Packers running back Noah Herron is a very lucky man. The fourth year player fought off intruders during a burglary to his Village of Howard home, striking one with a bed post that he unscrewed from his bed last weekend. The intruder was injured during the May 30th burglary and a second offender was apprehended outside the home by Brown County Sheriff's deputies, according to information released by the Brown County Sheriff's Department today. Herron was not hurt during the invasion.

Further evidence that your average criminal has the IQ of a turd... How about doing some "advanced scouting" before breaking into a home. Look at the GUNS on this guy! That's GOTTA feel stupid... 2 guys break in, one gets his a*s kicked by the resident, then both get busted.

Genius, Genius, GENIUS!!!

Lucky guy! The thief, I mean! Noah could've beaten him to death with that bed post! As it is, he lives to steal another day!

Good thing Noah Herron knows the functions of his bedroom furniture!

I agree with localboy54. 12 gauge is the way to go. Now these guys are still breathing and will probably sue you.

June 4, 2008  10:35 AM ET

Switch this guy from running back to Linebacker, oh and let him use the bedpost!

June 4, 2008  10:39 AM ET

My 12 gauge worked real good when my home was broken into. Those losers brought a crowbar to a gun fight. I do not feel sorry what I did nor never will my love ones comes first,just like Nam my buddys came first.

localboy54, Wisconsin is one of those pink states where the criminals get codled and protected instead of it's citizens. You're right, this wouldn't have happened in Texas!

YOU MUST PROTECT YOUR HOUSE

Anyone dumb enough to break into a residence being occupied by a man 6 foot plus and weighing as much as an SUV deserves to have his body turned into mush.

I had a friend who was an ex-cop and he told me "in a situation like that, always kill the intruder". I was surprised and thought that a bit extreme so I asked him why that was his advice. He said "because then there's only one side of the story to tell the police." That advice has always stuck with me.

It's ironic everyone accepts this as criminal invasion, yet when it happened to Taylor, most of the comments here suggested it was gang-related and some suggested Taylor must've had it coming.
...funny how the colour of a guy's skin puts more onus on people's opinion, rather than truth

June 4, 2008  12:36 PM ET

sweet man i am always jacked to hear a positive story...I use my .44 colt anaconda and the pump 12 gauge is also very useful...think about it if you catch someone coming into your window if they hear you **** the shotty they will **** themselves and pray for forgiveness....
