You didn't hear about it on the networks because it is NOT TRUE! http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/homeinvasion.asp Yet here it is two and a half years later and this lie is still circulating among "friends," being believed by countless readers -- sent by folks who believed it was important information for you to know because it might nudge you closer to buying into their ideology. I always wonder how much -- if any -- of their ideology is actually based in fact. Inspiring stories come in both fiction and factual form. The story isn't the problem -- the problem is the implication that SOME news sources KEPT this story from being reported. The point in THIS email is to get you to mistrust these sources. Which makes ME ask WHY would someone tell a LIE to get you to mistrust someone else??? Would be a great story … if only it was true.

Yet here it is two and a half years later and this lie is still circulating among “friends,” being believed by countless readers — sent by folks who believed it was important information for you to know because it might nudge you closer to buying into their ideology. I always wonder how much — if any — of their ideology is actually based in fact.

There are lots of references to it debunking the story. Oh well. Great story, but I think it’s a hoax. There are lots of references to it debunking the story. Oh well.
