The caption reads in part, "This man broke into my home on memorial while I was gone …most would have shot and killed him but I wanted him to understand that he doesn’t have to live his life this way …this could happen to anyone watching this ……stay safe stay aware …no everyone in life get second chances."
Houstan then walks the robber all the way out the door, the whole time lecturing him and telling him how lucky he is that he "didn't catch {Houstan} two years ago" because Houstan said he would have "beat {him} definite [sic]."
