Father Chokes Sex Offender To Death

09.29.08

The father has done what any and all fathers should do. He administered the proper sleeper hold technique to a rapist. There is sleeper hold, then there is proper sleeper hold. Proper sleeper hold means that they never wake up.

INDIANAPOLIS – A man who police said broke into a home with the intention of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl in her bedroom died after a struggle with the girl’s father.

David Meyers, 52, was pronounced dead shortly after officers arrived following a report of a home invasion in the 3500 block of West 79th Street at about 3:20 a.m. on Sunday, police said.

Officers said they found Robert McNally, 64, on the floor with his arm around the neck of Meyers, struggling to hold him down. When officers told McNally he could let go, they found that Meyers was unresponsive.

The Marion County coroner ruled on Monday that he was strangled to death.

Indianapolis police Sgt. Matt Mount said Meyers had come into the home naked, except for a mask and latex gloves.

“He had rope, had a knife, had condoms, had a gag,” Mount said.

The teen awoke to find a naked man in her room and began screaming, alerting McNally, police said.

Meyers was a registered sex offender and was released from prison two years ago after he had served 10 years of a 20-year sentence for criminal confinement and sexual deviate conduct stemming from a case in Hamilton County.

As the old marine adage goes “if you’ve come to a fair fight, you’ve come unprepared”; I strongly believe that the father could have made things so much easier, by just having a gun.

You see, had the good guy had a gun to begin with, he would have eliminated some unnecessary risks and/or unpleasant experiences which I’ve listed here for you.

  1. Getting cut by the vato. He did have a knife, and those things can put an eye out you know.
  2. Being karate chopped. Maybe the offender knows karate. I know people who know karate, and being karate chopped is the last thing I would ever want to be.
  3. Being urinated upon while the struggle ensues. The dude left his big boy shorts at home. You wanna wrassle with that loaded pistol flying in every direction? Another good way to lose an eye.
  4. Upon their arrival, being discovered by the local police force, spooning with a naked dude who’s asleep in your arms. omg! teh ghey rumors will fly.

I’m sure there are plenty of more risks and situations that I wouldn’t want to take, but I’m too lazy to figger them out. Too lazy to wrassle nekkid bad guys. C’mon guys. Think about it. It’s so much easier to point and click the 1911. You still get a full nights sleep.

    As a mother to a 17 year old daughter, I would love to buy that guy a beer.

    (One plus of proper sleeper hold vs. gun is that there is not really a mess to clean up after with the sleeper hold)

    @melanie - Touché. I guess it would come down to a personal decision. Take the risks listed, or clean up a mess of blood and brain matter.

    Personally, I’d shoot the guy. Call the coroner, then call the crime scene cleanup guys, then go back to bed.

    Guess I would at least have to have a dear rifle or single shot pellet spreader in the house.

    If things turned bad, don’t want to give the creeps a chance (I will take the edge)

    Point overlooked: ” Think about it. It’s so much easier to point and click the 1911. You still get a full nights sleep.”
