Stunning Home Invasion Caught on Video in Arizona

(Photo via ABC)
Police have released security footage of a shocking home invasion in Tuscon, Arizona, last week where two men are seen restraining and beating a homeowner before entering his house and stealing his belongings.
At one point two other members of the house come to the door to help, presumably having heard the scuffle outside, but are forced back in by a man with a gun.
Soon after, a third suspect jumps in through the front door, though it is uncertain why he arrived after his partners. It’s possible he was playing the role of lookout.
Here are photos of the three men from the surveillance video:

The suspects reportedly gained access to the house by offering to do yard work, but as soon as they were inside began viciously beating the man who offered to employ them.
Appalling as the video is, though, police have been able to use it to efficiently track down the suspects. Recorded by the homeowner’s security cameras, police have identified and arrested Dominic Tyrone Dixon, but his partners remain on the run.
Though none of the victims suffered any lasting injuries, Tom Peine, a deputy with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, said the case is a high priority.
“They could go out, commit additional crimes,” he explained. “They have been very violent in their approach.”
ABC has more, including the shocking footage:

Posted on November 5, 2012 at 2:30pmAn Obama re-election will make these retards think that they have a carte blanche to beat, steal, kill and rob, just as the flash mobs have deemed “their” president to o.k. their beatings and murders.
As the poster above so accurately warns: Get used to it. It will soon devolve into an even worse situation.
Take a look at the East coast right now with just a slight cut-back of food and little gas and know that we’re in for some pretty rough times.
The people in my rura area are stocking a few months supply of food and water and a lot of arm and ammo.
I feel for the people in the cities, like the ones hit by hurricane Sandy. This period in time could well be known to future historians as the “age of horror” when many people perished.

But you’re only worried about the white people, right?
You have made yourself very clear that you hate all black people and, of course, you base your hatred on the “objective” reasoning that all black people are violent racists who just want to steal your women. Yes, @Independent4233, your are a prime example of the exploration of objective thought. You “objectively” believe that because there in fact are some black racists who commit crimes against whites that all blacks are racists who are just inches away from killing you and your family. You also “objectively” believe that because some other racists on other white supremacist websites discuss the impending race wars that the wars are of course coming soon.
Because I called you out on your racism, you “objectively” made a list of assumptions and used a bunch of big words with the hope that that somehow legitimizes your bigotry.
As a side note, your comments seem oddly reminiscent of another user, @Robert, that for some reason disappeared a while ago, likely because he was kicked off for his frequent racist rants.

Oh, so you’re one of those :Obama’s gonna take our guns away” types? Funny thing, all of the dire predictions by the NRA in 2008 failed to come true, and the last four years have actually been great for the gun industry and the NRA. But hey, they’ve got it figured out: instill fear in dumb people and they’ll give you money.

And what’s wrong with that.?
Explain to me what is wrong with feeling that way. If you can’t, then shut up.
Are you so brainwashed and naive you think every race doesn’t look out for their own?
If it’s true it isn’t racist. It’s a fact. Give me examples of anything that I’ve written that isn’t true. Give me examples of what your delusions dictate to you that are “racist.”
If you can’t then shut up.
It’s people like you who encourage the kind of black on white hate attacks that have been reported in absolute volumes, and on account of your delusional assumptions about race you make matters worse.
Does it make you feel morally superior?
“Racist” is a buzz word term coined by Orwellian propagandists who have instilled a knee-jerk PC response by people like you who can’t think for themselves. Like a lab rat.
They instill the thought within your psyche that you are morally superior.
If you had been born years ago and the prevailing propgandists at the time were mentally conditioning the masses with KKK propaganda you would be screaming just as loudly supporting KKK tenets as you do now supporting the cult or the sect known as political correctness.
But you are born now so you support PC. And you drink the kool aid.

An examples of things you have said that are false: all black people hate while people and want to kill them; all races are only interested in preserving their own.
What is your deal with always telling those with whom you disagree that they can’t think for themselves or that they incapable of objective thought? Is that your only response to a counter argument? Do you really think that anyone who thinks differently than you is simply brainwashed? If so, I have to tell you, you are the one who is truly incapable of viewing the world objectively. You are only capable of seeing things through you racist goggles which you refuse to remove.
Please explain how non-racists are exacerbating race relations? Oh, I know, it must be because multi-ethnic communities that live in peace and harmony are in reality breeding grounds for hate and crime. That’s right, all those people who have learned that skin color doesn’t matter are really the problem and it is only people like you that understand how it actually is.

“An examples of things you have said that are false: all black people hate while people and want to kill them; ”
You see?
You’re so mentally warped and scatterbrained you have to levy false charges in order to come up with anything.
“……all black people hate while people and want to kill them; ”
Well, where’s the quote at? Why didn’t you cut and paste it? Is it because you’re a liar? Or just incompetent?
I’ve written that the vast majority of blacks loathe white people. Rev. Jesse Peterson says the same thing. In his book, “From Rage to Responsuibility,” he says blacks hate whites, because they are taught throughout their communities that whites are the ONLY reason they can’t get ahead.
But who needs to quote him when there is evidence all around of such hate, whether it is flash mob attacks, murders, rases or mayhem? Paul Sheehan wrote an article for the Sydney Morning Herald a few years ago entitled the war of black on white. http://teapartyorg.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=4301673%3ABlogPost%3A658352&commentId=4301673%3AComment%3A659175&xg_source=activity
Thomas Sowell said in a recent column that there has been a one-sided civil war of black on white and the only thing worse than that is a two sided civil war. David Horowitz wrote a book with literally hundreds of “hate whitey” quotes entitled “Hating Whitey.”

Wrong again. All races look out for their own people. Anybody who thinks that isn’t true has been living in a cave. But give me examples why that is an untruthful statement, because we read instances and see instances on t.v. of it every day. Citing facts does not involve racism. It involves telling the truth, as in this case, and some people can’t stand to read it because it doesn’t comport to the way they want everybody to believe.
Your prior posts are full of your obvious desire to create a rainbow utopia and you issue insults and angry comments denigrating The Tea Party, yet you continue to come on to this site like a junkie who is getting a fix by doing so, because you love to hate.
But you don’t realize that you say much about yourself via your insults and criticism to others on here.

You’re not a non-racist. You’re a self-hating white who has been programmed to hate yourself and whites as a race, unless they drink the kool aid like you.
The only people that come on this site that are filled with such hate and fanaticism are activist homosexuals who think denigrating conservative Christian people will intimidate them into submission, just as activist homosexuals did who camped out at houses of people on the APA’s panel in 1973, as just one of many vicious tricks to get them to remove homosexuality as a mental illness.

Wow. The more I read your comments, the more it becomes apparent that you are the one who is incapable of objective thought, or at least that you don’t know that work means. I simply stated that you are a racist and wrong. You respond with a whole list of assumptions about me.
What is your deal with utopias? Do you think if you keep repeating it, it will be true?
Thanks for the facts. You simply cite a few other racists to reinforce your world view. Bravo sir, bravo. Just because one person says something doesn’t make it true.
Again, your idea that ethnicities only look out for their own is wrong. Just open your eyes, you’ll see a very different world than you’ve come to believe exists. Example: Barry Bonds pledging to pay for Brian Stowe’s childrens’ college. Look it up.
Finally, why so much anger? Did your parents not love you enough? Did your daddy not play with you enough?

Apparently you don’t realize the difference between citing to actual events and proclamations made by racists like yourself.
As for your lies about Bonds, he didn’t say he wanted to catch that white boy. He said that people let Mark McGuire off the hook for his steroid use because “he’s a white boy.” Quite different than what you said. Also, that is not a racist statement, more an observation on how different races are treated. All you have to do is look at your comments to see clear examples of that.
Your world view can be summed up thusly: “There are some black people who don’t like whites. I’m white, so I’m going to hate all black people because a few of them may not like me. I’m also going to assume that because some blacks don’t like whites, all blacks don’t like whites. Based on this assumption, I’m going to hate all blacks because my assumption leads me to believe all them hate me.” That logic is water tight, my friend. That is, water tight if you are ten years old.
All the while, you constantly accuse others of not being able to think objectively. However, you base all your beliefs on your subjective assumptions. Seems like that is the pot calling the kettle retarded.

“As for your lies about Bonds, he didn’t say he wanted to catch that white boy. He said that people let Mark McGuire off the hook for his steroid use because “he’s a white boy.”
He said it and it was reported in an article and was after his trainer advised him against injecting too many steroids. He said, “ I’ve got to beat that white boy.”
In fact he’s been quoted many times hurling racist vitriol at whites, like your above quote about leniency because of being a white boy. You unknowingly provided an example of what I’m talking about.
His racist statements are nothing new whether you’re too brainwashed, ignorant or stupid to understand, like the below.
“I walked up to Bonds at his locker in the Wrigley Field visitors’ clubhouse, introduced myself and said, ‘Barry, if you sign these, they’ll bring in a lot of money for kids who need help.
“Bonds stood up, looked me in the eye and said, ‘I don’t sign for white people.’ If lightning hits me today, I will swear those were his exact words. Matt Williams and other Giants were in the room and they heard what Bonds said.

Great, you’ve found some arguably racist comments that he’s made. Fantastic! That doesn’t wipe out the much more recent actions of his. That is, purely benevolent actions for children of a white man who was senselessly beaten. Tell me, is that an example of blacks only helping their own?
Your comments still reinforce that you have the mindset of a 10 year old. Because you believe that a few in a different group don’t like your group, you assume all of them don’t like you and you in turn hate all of them. Objective thinking at its best!

The moral of this story is NEVER let someone you don’t know into your house. Second, NEVER fully open the door and keep a hand on it keeping no less than one and a half arms reach away. Third, make sure everyone in your house (age you begin to train your kids is up to you but I suggest no later than twelve) and be able to defend themselves. The homeowners obviously felt their area was unsafe otherwise why the cameras?
