By Dreamer
An elderly Kentucky man was terrified when two men and a woman invaded his home and brutally beat him before stealing his money. This story has now hit the internet and is going viral after the criminals were slammed with a dose of instant justice from their victim, who did not want to die, and rightfully so.

As reported by local news source WKRN, the horrific home invasion happened at approximately 9 p.m. in Boaz, Kentucky. Cops said that 46-year-old Timothy Roper of Mayfield along with two other accomplices invaded an elderly man's residence before beating and robbing him.
One of the accomplices, who’s was identified as Miranda Murphy, is the girlfriend of Roper.
Kentucky State Police said that the homeowner, who feared that his life may be taken from him, shot Roper in the upper torso. This was a shocking turn of events for these three invaders who believed they were going to victimize an elderly man and steal his money with no consequence after beating him. They could not have been more wrong, and it was time for the elderly victim to have his revenge.
According to local news source WPSD, Roper drove himself to Jackson Purchase Medical Center, where he was later declared dead as a doornail in the emergency room. I imagine that last drive in his car was not a very pleasant one as he bled out and likely thought of the grandchildren he’d be leaving behind.
He should have just said no to drugs, got a job, and quit stealing. Instead, Roper sealed his own fate by hurting an innocent man. Roper’s Facebook page shows that he was in a relationship with Murphy.

It’s shocking that people can’t find it in their hearts to change their lifestyle even to care for their children or grandchildren. That appears to be the case with Roper. Hopefully, those kids are taken care of by family members who will raise them better.
Murphy and the third accomplice, identified by police as Joshua White, were arrested on Tuesday, November 7, 2017. Both have been charged with complicity to commit first-degree burglary and complicity to commit first-degree robbery. Murphy, who was in possession of methamphetamine, was also charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance.
Murphy’s Facebook page is littered with posts about drug abuse. In one particular post, she calls drug and alcohol abuse “the abyss.” I’d say that description is accurate. It’s too bad Murphy’s awareness of “the abyss” didn’t keep her from jumping into it head first.
Joshua White, the third suspect who was arrested by Kentucky State Police, is Timothy Roper’s son, according to his Facebook page.
