When Melora Rivera heard an intruder kicking the front door of her Venice, California, home Wednesday morning, her reaction was to jump out of bed and onto her roof.
"Once I saw him in the house, I knew that we both couldn't be there," Rivera told CNN TV affiliate KCAL/KCBS. "I knew that I didn't want to have a confrontation with him of any sort, you know, not knowing what his intention was."
Rivera, dressed only in a flannel shirt, used her cell phone to call police as the intruder also climbed onto the roof... "The drop is, I would guess, more than 20 feet," Rivera said. "So there was no safely jumping off the roof or coming down from the roof at that point."
A more rational home defense system would involve one (or preferably all) of the following.

The lady of the house has a 38 but wants a 20 gauge. I think she should learn to handle a 5.56 rifle.
I live in England, I am a free born Englishman, a sovereign citizen. The only people here with guns are criminal criminals and guv'mint criminals. I might take up baseball.
