Thursday feel good firearm story
Tman sends a link to the story about rambunctious teens who just happened to steal their parents’ truck, 17 guns and 2,000 rounds of ammunition and took off on a lark, until they got to Maypearl, Texas;
On Wednesday afternoon, a homeowner in Maypearl — 35 miles south of Dallas and some 240 miles south of Bethel Acres — noticed someone was trying to open her back door. She looked out the window and saw a camouflage-clad armed man.
Her husband yelled and retrieved a gun. Two suspects darted from behind the house and ran toward a field, firing at the home as they fled. The husband shot back and may have hit one of the suspects, Ellis County Sheriff Johnny Brown said. The woman called 911.
Sheriff’s deputies found one suspect dead in the field and the other inside the stolen pickup truck. Both appeared to have died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds, the sheriff’s department said. No one else was hurt.
Of course, the father of one teen says that the son he knew wouldn’t have done any of that. I guess that that explains how the teen got his hands on 17 guns and a couple of thousand rounds of ammunition.

This responsible American probably just saved a lot of innocent lives here with his use of his constitutional rights. Good for this man being prepared to confront evil that came knocking.
“My son’s not an angel. I’m not saying that he is,” Roland Chaffin told the newspaper. “But the Kenneth we know was not capable of this.”
Make that “the Kenneth we knew.”
They obviously didn’t know Kenneth. Or his evil twin, either.
Lots of parents these days lie to themselves about what sh1theads their children are. Very few people want to tell you what a complete f#ckup their kid is, most want to tell you how brilliant they are or how gifted they are athletically. Then you meet the kid and discover “Johnny Brilliant” is just another dullard who will be a parasite on his family until his parents are dead and then that parasite will look to feed off of the rest of us.
It would be nice if more parents could recognize how they are contributing to the uselessness of their children and change their behavior to get their children squared away. But I don’t hold tremendous hope in this regard.
On point, I meant to add that at least these two won’t be contributing any material to the genetic pool….shallow as their contribution would have been it won’t be missed.
Good shooting!
I suppose this deserves a South Park Kenny reference…ok too soon for that.
That’s two fewer punkasses that we taxpayers will have to feed, clothe, and house, nice shot!!
VOV, we just had an 11yr old arrested for trying to kidnap a 6yr old boy. When confronted by the 6yr old’s mother, he laughed at her and kept trying to drag the kid away. He dragged the 6yr old across 4 lanes of divided busy roadway. The 11 yr old’s father says the police and prosecutor are “overcharging” him. Parents can always find some excuse for the actions of their kids.

@10 if the kid’s dad was worth a sh1t he would take his son boating and the child would suffer a terrible accident, and society would be free from a future predator….
@10 – Except for that statement, it sounds like the father and stepmother are doing the best they can with him. He’s mentally disturbed, in and out of mental hospitals for years, horrible early years with drug-using mom and stepfather, etc.
Sound like a Sandy Hook waiting to happen. Instead of all of these useless gun control laws for law-abiding citizens, perhaps incidents like this will get the attention of lawmakers and they will do something about the dangerously mentally ill running around. Or maybe not.
@12 indeed some humans get broken early, and there is no way to re-assemble into something useful. That’s a very uncomfortable decision to have as a society, what do we do with these broken children? When a child kills small animals or tries to dominate younger smaller children through force it’s not a guarantee they will become a killer, but it’s really very likely that they will. So much so that the behavior should be recognized as a precursor to a sociopathic predator and treated accordingly.
@12, 13: Yes, indeed!! It used to be much easier for the Court System to commit those they thought were a risk to themselves and others, but the “touchie-feelie-do-gooders” of the sixties and seventies put a screeching halt to that, shutting down a lot of Mental Hospitals and crying for “more rights”, giving us the mess we have now. I currently serve in the NG alongside a fair share of Law Enforcement and Corrections Personnel, many of them have told me stories of how they have to play Mental Health nursemaid as part of their job because we DON’T have the MH facilities we used to. Just look at at Gabby Gifford’s assailant, he ran around threatening people for a while, but it got quashed partly because his Mom was a County Commissioner. The Aurora Theater coward? He gave off at least a truckload of warning signs while he was in school, but no one did anything, probably from fear of a lawsuit. The Columbine cowards? one of the rodents’ parents found a sawed off shotgun barrel in his boy’s bedroom, but did nothing. probably because he was more concerned about being his kid’s “pal” versus his parent! The VA Tech coward? Yes, he gave off warning signs, but there again, no one did anything, most likely because they were afraid of “offending” him and risking a lawsuit!
Don’t mess with Texas.
@12, 13, 14, yeah, there was this nugget in the stories about this young predator. He, and his siblings were taken from mom and stepdad for a few days when mom and stepdad were popped for maintaining a drug house. CPS couldn’t wait to get the kids back under mom’s roof.
What kind of favor did CPS do the kid, in this case?
Now comes a story out of Brunswick Georgia in which a toddler was shot in the head point blank and his mother shot in the leg. Police are seraching for kids 10-15 years old. They demanded money. The mother said she had none. The baby was executed. Sick. Sick. Sick.
@17, That is just so freakin disturbing.
@16, 12, 13, 14 I am that mother of which you speak of, and the sad thing, is the ignorance the media breeds! DO you have all the report information? NO!!!! My son and I were both victims of an abusive man! I have nor will I ever do drugs! no charges were ever brought upon anyone in that house! it is unfortante that my children were affected by this man. My son has had issues since birth! I have been fighting a long battle for help! Dont speak of things that you do not have the ENTIRE story to! Yes, i am fearful for my son and his intergration with a normal society, and Ive been his biggest voice and advocate, however, A GOOD PARENT is the first to say, I can’t do this by myself! I worked hard to prove to the courts that I was a fit parent. EVERYONE makes mistakes in parenting, the sad reality is, 90% of parents never get caught for thier mistakes!!!
