They keep breaking in, and he keeps killing them.
A Missouri man has slain a home intruder for the second time in four months — this time stabbing an ax-wielding friend who started a bizarre argument with him early Tuesday.
The frequent self-defender, Mike Wieners, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch his former neighbor Eric Frazer broke into his Robertsville home around 2 a.m., ax in hand, demanding money and a ride to Arkansas.
Frazer was fuming over child support he hadn’t paid and was looking to take out aggression on the first person he could find, Wieners said.
Wieners fearied for his life and agreed to drive him, but said he wanted to grab beer for the hours-long drive. Instead, he grabbed a knife.

“I struck him,” Wieners, 55, told the paper. “I didn’t mean to kill him. I wasn’t looking for that. I am not that type of person. But I am not going to let somebody take my life.”

Plus, Wieners said, his former neighbor was smashing furniture and making some strange threats.
“He said, ‘I will kill you, I’m going to kill you,’ ” Wieners told KMOV.
“He says, ‘I think I’m going to chop your feet off,’ and I’m like, ‘What? ‘”
After the stabbing, Frazer fled in Wiener’s car, but died later that morning in a hospital, police said.
Wieners, meanwhile, had minor injuries to his arm and jaw.
This comes after Wieners shot and killed a 60-year-old man who entered his rural home in February, armed with a revolver after the two had fought over a woman. Wieners said that man, Richard Wagnon, was just about to shoot but hesitated, at which time Wieners “grabbed ahold of the barrel and it went off and killed him,” he said.
Wieners once lived with Wagnon for several monthsm after he needed a place to crash following a domestic dispute.
In both of the fatal encounters, Wieners was not charged, with police citing self-defense.
But authorities are still investigating why Wieners seems so cursed.
“Right now, he’s claiming self-defense, and what he has looks like self-defense,” Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke told the Post-Dispatch.
“But we’re going to look into it a little more, obviously.”
