Thursday feel good story
Chief Tango sends us feel good story to enjoy with our morning muffin. This one comes from Illinois where a hard-working individual was turning his life around in a convenience store.
The incident happened around 5:30 p.m. Monday when [Lawrence] Bradley walked through the front door of the electronics shop in the 2900 block of West Devon Avenue and aimed the gun at the clerk and demanded money, police said.
Then the clerk reached into the safe and pulled out a real gun and fired twice, stopping only because the gun jammed, police said.
Bradley grabbed the clerk’s gun and pistol-whipped him in the face and head, then ran out the store and jumped into a blue PT Cruiser driven by a woman, police said.
The clerk stumbled out of the store and a worker next door came to his aid, according to the police report. The 23-year-old clerk was taken to Saint Francis Hospital, where he was treated for small lacerations on the left side of his face and on the top of his head, according to fire officials.
Of course, that’s not the whole story. According to the Chicago Tribune, the gun that Lawrence used, was a toy. Funny how real guns work better than toy guns, isnt it?

Lawrence Bradley was most defiently not shot with a 25.99mm handgun. Although the store clerk in this case fortunately suffered only minor injuries the two shots that he fired were sufficient. Had he been a better trained citizen, or had the gun have been a proper caliber, he would not have suffered any injuries in this attack even if the robber had been armed with a real gun. As it was the robber was wounded and as a result of his wound or wounds he was apprehended. Now not only will he pay for his crime we will all pay for his crime in a small way. Confederates love guns because confederates have always needed guns. They have needed guns to put down slave revolts they needed guns to keep blacks in their place and they have needed guns to make sure that they get the resources that they want from the rest of the planet. As a result Confederates see guns as the first line of defence against personal crime rather than the last line of defense. Confederates are always the first calling for a reduction in social services because they refuse to see the connection between a bad enviorenment and crime. For some reason confederates think that if they were in and had lived in the same circumstances as Lawerence they would have acted differently, more responsibly. The way I see is that confederates have lived a life of much better circumstances than Lawerence yet they have, collectively speaking, committed much greater crimes. Or have even individually committed crimes as bad as or worse than Lawrence but were never arrested for what they had done because they were protected by “community standards.” Sadly, individually, the southern thinking man can not be blamed for his ignorance because he is a product of his own environment. An environment which highlights the crimes committed by the poor but ignores the crimes commmitted by the middle class and rich. A society in which the idiotic crimes of the middle class and rich are even defined as patriotic or good public policy. If… Read more »
Curt,
You are suffering from a medical condition call rectal cranial inversion (headupassotosis). The lack of oxygen is preventing you from thinking clearly.
Remove your head from your ass, take a shoer and relax in a lounge chair. Come back when you are thinking straight.
That is all.
That is: Shower.
Curt, you ignorant slut, you should not write about anything historical because you know nothing about history. Period. I don’t know why you posted something about the Confederacy, but you are so far off base you look even stupider than you did the first time you posted something.
Illinois is a Yankee state. Illinois took the part of the Union Army when mustering soldiers. My great-grandfather, his three brothers and their uncle were all in the UNION ARMY, you asshole.
It’s apparent that my cat Mikey is considerably smarter than you are, because when I started reading your drivel to him, he gave me this ‘WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?’ look and got himself a shot of catnip.
Curt, you should stop making an ass of yourself in public right now.
The federal government doesn’t care if it is a bb gun. Also in illinois 3 men robbed a chili’s with bb guns and could do 25 years each. Any armed robbery can be assumed federally because it effects interstate commerce.
Someone made a movie about Lawrence, then – and it was called “Raising Arizona”, re: toy gun.
“It ain’t armed robbery if the gun ain’t loaded!” – H.I. McDunnough.
Oh yeah… and Curt? The Confederacy doesn’t exist anymore.
(Just thought you might need to be clued in there, sport.)

And enjoy the good weather am Deutschland today. It will likely turn fairly nasty there soon enough.
Curt, there ain’t no draft no more…
There was one?
NHSparky: not for over 40 years, amigo. Last draftee reported for induction in June 1973. He’d been selected the previous December.
I’m guessing Curt the Clueless had no idea that was the case. And I’m guessing he didn’t exist in June 1973, either.
Hondo–perhaps you’ve forgotten the 1981 Ivan Reitman classic “Stripes”?
Our boy Curt the Spurt seems to be very mentally similar to that of Cruiser, who uttered the above line when Sergeant Hulka told him there’s no draft.
Yeah, basically the boy’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
NHSparky: perhaps. My take is he’s just a yer typical leftist Euro-wienie metrosexual, with about average intellect for that group, and with somewhat poorer English language skills than the norm for that crowd.
Oh EX-PH2 … thank you for your quip above in #4.
Here is a blast from the past for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfAC77jWgzs
Well then, to paraphrase a classic SNL routine:
“This ist ze time on TAH ven ve dance!”
Curt reminds me of a typical Euro-German post beatnik politico groupie, sitting in a dank cellar bar sipping bad wine and nibbling on cheese and horse cock.
“Any armed robbery can be assumed federally because it effects interstate commerce.” Yipes. Are you really an mp?
@16. If you are, I omitted, please take up another MOS.
Um, that would be the French version, MCPO. The German version would substitute Bad Beer from Kaiserlsautern (BBK) for the bad wine and sauerkraut for the cheese. (smile)
Hondo … again you are correct.
Here is my fav ghey German video of all time (very funny): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuDtACzKGRs
James Joyce he ain’t.
I see Curtie boy as one of those bad movie characters “idealistic young propoganda brainwashed idiot” like Horst Buchholtz in “1,2,3” who thinks all young Americans are starving street ruffians, slavery still is rampant, and rich people dress in tuxedos like old movies. He’s not really stupid, just misinformed!
OK, he’s stupid….
I’m stuck on 25.99mm handgun; that would be a 1.02 inch (if I did the math correctly).
I have to say I am very uncomfortable with what you are doing. You are all pretending like you are really stupid. I suppose you mean well. I can imagine that it is an attempt to discredit the confederate thinking that has spread to all corners of America. The thing is I do not think that the confederates will be able to figure it out. You are reinforcing thier belief system, not getting them to reexamine their belief system. Or do you have figures that would contradict my thinking? I did not think so.
Now, if Curtsy had only attended class instead of spending his school days glue sniffing and paint huffing, he just might actually have something to contribute here.
Curt–do us a favor. Go find a 25.99 mm handgun. Load it. Put the barrel in your mouth. Pull the trigger.
Let us know how that goes. Until then, disappear.
I’ve read enough of what Curt posts to feel sorry for him. Whether he was born with it or developed it later on, his cognitive functions are defective. His wiring isn’t up to code — literally.
How can you have figures to contradict nonsense?? Curt, was is los? Please stop posting here. You are a simple man and any attempt at complex reasoning or thought just makes you look dimmer than a 10 watt bulb. Now go sit down in your special chair and eat your soup with a fork. Big people are talking, K????
@ 26. Can I use that: wiring not up to code.
@28 Sure! I “borrowed” it, also. 🙂

Nun, Leute-nicht hart an Curt hier sein. Obwohl technisch ein Mann vom Kalender, ist geistig er lediglich ein Kind – und ein dummer noch dazu. Wir sollten nicht über ihn lustig machen. Die Tatsache, dass er so dumm ist, dass Gras einen höheren nativen Verstand hat ist nicht seine Schuld.
Die Tatsache, dass er die Beleidigung von Amerika, jedoch ist keine gute Sache. Also, Kurt – bei allem Respekt, bitte gehen Sie selbst Unzucht. (Link is NSFW/children/prudes/clergy.)

Curt, I am not as highly read on American Civil War history as most here (I prefer the Revolutionary period), but even I can see that you are spewing something I wouldn’t even wash a hog with. I rarely ever say this, but look up the Confederacy on Wikipedia. They disbanded (unless you count the current Democratic Party). However, even if they hadn’t, they wouldn’t look like the Confederacy that was present back over 100 years ago.
You see, there is a certain evolution of principles that happens in any political system when new blood comes into it. It’s true for the American government, the English government, or even the Chinese government. It takes about a generation for changes to happen, but they do. The same can be said for the current “Confederacy Reborn” movement, which I believe you are referring to. But, even then, it is as close to the political ideology of the actual Confederacy as the Neo Nazi Party was to the original National Socialist Party of Germany.
Curt running a management meeting at violent video game company:
Oh, and you’re a douche.
Here is a heartwarming tale of youth and innocense, Curt and his fellows Germans, growing up in a world of such promise!
What confederates is it talking about? It’s a pretty good word, after all, and can refer to any number of things.
Oh, probably those stolen valor phonies.
Excluding Curt: Here’s another good story.

Last one, I promise.
If this is the same guy, it looks like Curt Kastens is an expert at unraveling coherent blog discussions.

Anyone else see a pattern?
Curt, I have to hand it to you bro, you write some really entertaining stuff…
I’m not certain how you arrive at any of the world views or opinions you possess…but the process has to be fascinating due to the fundamental explanatory logic flaws inherent in the cognitive definition phase during intellect deployment.
Perhaps curt needs to find a new hobby, like writing for comprehension, maybe he could just spend some time in the light of real daylight.
Ex-PH2: Curt genießen vielleicht würde das Hobby der Hauptrolle in deutschen Scheiß Filmen und Demonstration der Cleveland-Dampfwalze (in Englisch, die “Clevenland Steamroller”) um alle zu sehen. Ich glaube, er wäre es ganz gut. In der Tat, wäre basierend auf seinen scharfen Intellekt und schriftliche Englischkenntnisse, er für die Rolle perfekt.
Hondo, I thought that was ‘Mannheim Steamroller’.
No, I am definitely kidding.
Aber, Curt ist Armleuchter und Arschloch. Das ist alles.
Prost!
Ex-PH2: nein, Fraulein. Fur Curt, die “Cleveland Steamroller” ist perfekt. (Smile)
Hondo: Ich glaube, er ist besser dran tun, was er jetzt tut, ist afterall recht unterhaltsam. Wenn wir ihn zu verscheuchen, werden wir nicht viele foriegn Besucher. Und wir lieben unsere Besucher hier bei TAH! Er ist ein Typ 1, Klasse A, MOD 0, MILSPEC scuttlefuck!
y’all are straining those of us with nur Soldatendeutsch!
The more I see from this joker the more I gotta wonder, has anyone here asked themselves if they’re just being played by some bored troll who gets his rocks off manipulating people he doesn’t like into predictable responses?
Seriously, his contributions are so vacant that they don’t even make sense as being delivered by a misinformed anti-American euro-weenie.
Sorry guys, just smells fishy to me.
This is definitely a Thursday Feel Good Story. My concern was that the clerk needs more range time.
#48. No Jacobite …. He IS real. See above other comments embed in #40.
He IS as real as any bat sh!t crazy Euro trash loon.
I say keep him around for the entertainment value. Plus we need to nice kinda like ambassadors of good will for retardoes.
