Rapist comes back for seconds, victim gives him the gun

Ronnie W. Preyer

An intended rape victim shot and killed her attacker this morning in Cape Girardeau when he broke into her home to rape her a second time, police said.

The 57-year-old woman shot Ronnie W. Preyer, 47, a registered sex offender, in the chest with a shotgun when he broke through her locked basement door.

The woman told police he was the same man who raped her several days earlier. Officials do not intend to seek charges against her.

In the first incident, the woman heard glass breaking in her basement about midnight on Saturday. She went to leave the house, and the man attacked when she opened the front door. He punched her in the face and then forced her into a bedroom, where he raped her, said H. Morley Swingle, prosecuting attorney in Cape Girardeau County.

The victim reported the crime to police, and her landlord repaired the broken window.

She was home alone again Friday about 2:15 a.m. when Preyer broke the same basement window. The victim was awake watching television, when Preyer switched off the electricity to her house.

She tried to call 911, but couldn't because the power was off. She got a shotgun and waited as the man began banging on the basement door. She fired when Preyer came crashing through the door.

Justice is served. And just think of all the money this lady has saved taxpayers: No need for a jail cell. No need for a courtroom, attorney, or judge.

This is also another case of the Second Amendment in action.

...yeah, I said it. Bravo to her. I personally would have shot out his knees then had fun with him, but whatever. She "got" the job done.

In the words of Miranda Lambert,

"I'm goin' home, gonna load my shot gun,
Stand by the door and light a cigarette"

Cuz someone is gonna die smokin'!!!!

I'd quote you on that one too!

I hope he knew how bad he fucked up when it was all going down.

His fist is big but my guns bigger!

Hell any line you quote from that song works in this situation.

That is sweet beyond sweet! I hope she can rest easy, knowing she took care of business.

I bet she slept better that night than she had in a long time. It's not often that a victim can actually get this sense of justice, knowing that they pulled the trigger themselves.
Score her!!!
