Police allege the criminal was hoping to rob Whitlock's home. However,
the Las Vegas homeowner had a different plan in mind.

A steady rush of water isn't exactly a proven defense mechanism. In
Whitlock's case, it worked to prevent the stranger from getting what
he wanted."

1. A house or other inanimate object cannot be "robbed." Only a human can be
robbed. A house can be burgled, or thefted.

2. Apparently some goblins don't like getting wet (cat burglars?). For most
situations a "water" gun is not the weapon of choice.


Right. Nevada is an open carry state. No reason not to be armed late
at night when the "goblins" come out.

I understand his late night watering policy with our drought of many
years.

I really think this kid was lucky; not shot, or hit with a pick-axe.
