She tweeted the entire thing.
I think my apartment is haunted. Seriously.

Then her dog, Syd, started to act a little nervous.
Oh great, Syd's now *growling* into the living room! :(
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014
Hmm, Syd's now barking at *the floor.* There's a basement here. Calling police...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014
Cops on the way. Syd's growling at the floor. I sure hope someone's in the basement. The alternative is a shack exorcism...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014
Talked to bunch of officers, they're now heading to basement's outside door...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014
Syd's barking at the floor again, cops yelling something...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014
Oh freaking jeez, SOMEONE'S IN THE BASEMENT FOR SURE!!
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014
As it turned out it was a homeless person who found the door unlocked and decided to make himself at home.There was no indication that he wanted to do either the home owner or the dog any harm, but still it is a frightening situation.
Afterward Tammy Bruce tweeted this.
Tweeps, if you live alone having a firearm is good but it won't warn you about the #jerk in the basement. Yay Syd! pic.twitter.com/NeaDNV9fjP

Exactly! I have little doubt that Bruce had weapons in the house, as she is always going on about gun rights. However her revolver certainly could not have picked up on the fact that there was somebody inside her home, who may have wanted to do her harm. For that she needed Syd.In fact with her dog, Bruce really did no even NEED to get her gun.
The dog alerted her to the danger. She called the police, The police arrested the vagrant. And nobody had to get shot.
In other words this is the kind of situation that the NRA NEVER wants to see take place.
So the moral of the story is that maybe owning a firearm will make you feel safe in your bed at night, but a good dog will ensure that you ARE safe in your bed at night.
I've never heard of this woman but I guess good for her? Can't imagine twittering the entire episode with a possible intruder in her apartment, but I would suppose that this person, whoever she is, most likely twitters her bowel movements. Guess I can say I harbor in my mind an image of an actual intruder stabbing her in the back while she was twittering about having an intruder in her apartment, but it seems that the stupids always get a second chance.
ReplyDeleteThis the same bitch that called FLOTUS trash in the White House
DeleteAlso the asshole who called Obama "President Urkel" while he was giving a speech to the American people because of a horrific shooting in Tuscon...heartless scumbag bitch.
DeleteTweeting her ordeal.. How fucking Palin of her
ReplyDeleteI knew the "freakin jeez" had a familiar ring to it. Could it be "Jesus" she's referring to? (in my best Dana Carvey "Church Lady" voice.
DeleteUh oh. Tammy Bruce used to be a Palin pal---that means we may have to hear Hilda the Hollering Idiot add her two cents.
ReplyDeleteFunny---you never hear stories about people actually shooting
someone invading their home. Normally its a family member or innocent who stumbles on the scene accidently that gets shot.
I believe Tammy Bruce has been out in the cold ever since busy Sarah Palin was too busy with her busy young busy family to run for POTUS and Tammy Bruce dared to say something not adoring about it.
DeleteOr you can just keep your doors locked.
ReplyDeleteBINGO! Just another brainless right-wing bimbo.
DeleteWeird to be tweeting while your dog is trying to tell you that you have an intruder in the house. Does Tammy have a tweet addiction?
ReplyDeleteNo, just a complete absence of grey matter.
DeleteYeah, something about this seems unrealistic. All the time she spent *putting asterisks* on things and using other punctuation (apostrophes and ellipses) makes it seem like not such an emergency. Even with "the cops yelling something..." she doesn't seem especially upset. Hmm.
DeleteIn addition to her twitter addiction, after this ordeal was over, at 1:16 am, Bruce was so shook up that she *just had* to find a previously shot selfie (daytime photo) with her dog to send to her fans. I find it strange that she thinks that giving a play by play of her dog's unrest is more important than her dealing in realtime with the issue at hand. I mean, my friends and family (I have no "fans" nor wanna-be stalkers that I know of...) would think I was having some mental issues if I twittered or if I were blasting everyone with texts about my dogs being upset because a squirrel was taunting them. Or if I couldn't sleep without getting up to pee first. Or whatever.
DeleteIs this person totally narcissistic or just lonely? Sounds to me like she could use a friend.
We have guns in the house. I also have 3 dogs - a German shepherd, beagle, and bichone. I'd take my 3 dogs as protection over a gun any day. Plus they are warm, snugly, and your devouted friend for life. Can't say that about a gun!
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I'm disappointed by the outcome? I'd sure like to see cankerous twats like Tammy Bruce STFU for a while.
ReplyDeleteGood doggie!
ReplyDeleteHe's obviously a Democrat.
Indeed: He has more brains than his owner.

We got three dogs, two of which are loud whenever they hear something near the house, even if it's an owl hooting near my bedroom window! Dogs are the best.
ReplyDeleteM from MD
I have no dog and no door bell but the neighbour's dog does a nice job of barking whenever someone comes to my door. When I expect someone, I don't ever have to look up to know they're there.
DeleteOf course, whenever I step outside I also get barked at. So do my cats, but it's a different kind of bark. I would never complain to the neighbours though, since the "visitor bark" is so useful to me, and quite free of charge.
I've been saved by dog three times. Once alerted to backed up chimney(let's see your AK do THAT!) once scared a house intruder away, and once scared possible attacker away outside.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and same dog "baby sat" my kids whenever they played - inside or out - again, no Glock or Colt can do that.
Also its aim is dead on.
DeleteMaybe....
ReplyDeleteBut, like we like to say in Florida, it's always better to shoot first and refuse to answer questions later. Stand your ground! What's the worst that could happen?
Aww. Nice story. And nice mustache, Tammy.
ReplyDeleteCare to pull MY trigger, Tams?
DeleteShe sounds like a POS. But in her favor, she has a dog.
ReplyDeleteMichael Vick had several dogs.
DeleteSo, my takeaway from this story is: has house full of guns = leaves door unlocked. I guess this is what being a "responsible gun owner" is all about?
ReplyDeleteI mean, I'm pretty much not buying the premise that this homeless guy just happened to try the door the ONE time she happened to leave it unlocked. Frankly, with all the twittering involved, I'm not buying the premise that any of this even happened at all. I'm calling publicity stunt on this one.
8:13 PM I agree with ur summation. None of this narrative makes sense.
DeleteDogs can save kids' lives, not only from strangers but from the family members' own terminal stupidity as well. The lore says my mother was dragged by the dog to my rescue when I was 2 and squatting inches from the aperture of an underground cistern. Already the scientist, I was trying to investigate what was in there (toilet waters). Despite having two small children in the house, my father had seen no point in putting the concrete lid back on. Or maybe he did it on purpose, who can know ?
ReplyDeleteGuns save no-one's life. Guns kill.
When we had our alarm system installed, the guy told us we already had the best system in the world, three huge dogs. He would not enter the house unless they were locked up. It was a waste of money since it took 45 minutes for the sheriff to arrive at our house (false alarm) so we canceled it and have relied on the three beasts for protection ever since. Nothing gets past the sniffer, she can smell if anything is "off". The big guy, good luck with teeth close to an inch long, and the deaf girl, she will body slam you into the dirt especially if you even have a hint of bacon on you.
ReplyDeleteThe number one protection against home burglary is nosy neighbors.
DeleteNumber two is a dog.
I always thought they got those two mixed up. A burglar can't know if the neighbors are peeking behind the curtains and calling the police but they can sure hear a dog. And even if it's a small dog, they won't enter. Those ankle biters can do damage too.
I think they should change the second amendment from guns to dogs.
mlaiuppa -
DeleteA friend of mine is a mail carrier with a walking route. He says that the dogs that give him the most trouble are the small ones that think they're big dogs.
He's been charged numerous times and bitten twice by the neurotic and nasty little Boston terrier next door to me, but the rottweiler across the street loves him.
He also carries dog treats so most of the dogs in the neighborhood know that a biscuit will be delivered along with the mail as long as they don't bite him.
I don't have any dogs myself but the terrier on one side of my house and two dogs on the other always let me know when my mail - and the cute mailman - are about to arrive!
1) Lock unused doors into a basement.
ReplyDelete2) Maybe have a little compassion for some poor guy trying to get out of the weather--maybe support a local homeless organization??
3) Listen to your dog.
Why would a homeless person choose a house with a dog in it? Eh miss surveyor's marks?
ReplyDeleteAlso the timeline is like in minutes completely bananas. Calling big bullshit on this one.
She called UNION THUGS, aka police to help her? Imagine that...
ReplyDeleteYeah. tweeps, listen to Tammy Bruce and get yourself a dog. Train said dog to Tweet about his jerk owner leaving the basement door unlocked. Who's the jerk, Tammy?
