Sunday feel good story
Houston in marginally safer today as reported by ABC30 in a link sent to us by UpNorth. It looks like a good friend provided overwatch while his friend was being robbed in his front yard;
As [the victim] got out of the vehicle, a gold Lexus SUV pulled into the driveway, blocking the victim’s vehicle.
Police say three armed male suspects got out of the back seat of the Lexus and confronted the resident. The suspects then demanded the resident’s car keys and personal items.
As the resident handed over those items, the suspects demanded to be led into the resident’s house. A friend of the resident, fearing for his friend’s safety, then fired shots at the suspect from inside the house. One of the suspects was struck and attempted to flee on foot before he collapsed and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other two thieves bailed in their gold Lexus SUV which should make them pretty easy to spot. I hope the Houston cops are able to finish the job an armed citizen started for them with his privately owned firearm.
Can you imagine what would have happened if the bombing suspect would have been trying to hide in Texas? The 911 call would have gone like the “y’all need to come and pick up a dead guy that was hiding in my boat and he tried to steal it”.
Yup. Don’t mess with Texas or Texans. We’ve had concealed carry since the late 1990’s and we exercise it daily.
@1. That there is laugh-out-loud funny.“y’all need to come and pick up a dead guy that was hiding in my boat and he tried to steal it”.
As for the trio in this story, they wore ski masks but drove a GOLD Lexus to do their deed! To make matters worse for them, Larry and Curly left Moe who expired after staggering for some yards after being shot. I’d say the ski masks really weren’t so much help.
Ski masks =/= shield of invulnerability.
=/= (does not equal)
Word on the street is, these rookie agents of the Obama Administrations Office of Wealth Redistribution(OoWR)opted for the retro-robber look hoping to induce a certain amount of fear and panic in those whom may have been observing them in action.
When I read tragedies such as, striking down a fine youth who was just turning his life around, was orking on getting his GED, and always took care of his kids, the only words that comes to mind is “Fo’ Shizzle”.
GOLD Lexus? That oughta be a felony right there.
Slap on some spinning rims and you’re looking at a death penalty case.
Heh! Remember, kids, profiling is wrong.
sorry to burst your bubbles… Gold Lexuses (Lexi?( are about as common around here as pickup trucks. We be affluent in Houston.
