More like I'd say "Damn, I'm glad we all made it out of that prison. There's no way that parole hearing would've gone my way!".

But anyways, not trying to be a dick or anything, but this was pretty ridiculous. You didn't lock your door? Not only do locks do a fairly limited amount (they're closer to burglar alarms than anything, as breaking into a house makes a lot of noise, but if someone is intent on breaking in they're gonna do so), but these are supposedly madmen, rapists, and murderers escaped from a prison. You managed to create a story involving the demographic that would literally be closest to the least concerned whether or not someone locked their door. If said individuals were headed towards your house with ill intent, locking your door would at most, buy you a minute or two more as they smash a window or tear down your door, and again with the demographic you described you managed to find the group of people who'd probably be least concerned about discretion, as there's a fair chance they were serving life anyways.

Then again if the author believes the best thing to do in that situation is lock the door then run to your room and lay in your bed crying rather than, idk, heading to the attic and piling stuff in front of the door (or even better ON the door if your attic door opens vertically. With gravity on your side you'd probably stand a fighting chance even if they made it through) then maybe it's better off this way? Natural selection has been slacking for far too long.
