Tuesday feel good story

| May 7, 2013

Chief Tango sends us links to the story about a Lubbock, TX homeowner who heard his dogs barking in his yard and went to investigate when he encountered an intruder forcing his way into the house.

Police say a suspect, whose name has not been released, forced his way into the home through the front door. The homeowner heard what was happening and confronted the suspect, asking him repeatedly to leave the house. Ultimately, the homeowner shot the intruder in the torso with a hand gun after he refused to leave.

The suspect was taken to UMC where he remains in stable condition.

From another link;

Police say the two residents heard their dog barking in the back yard. When the homeowner got up to see what it was, he saw a man trying to get in. The suspect forced his way inside; investigators say this is when the homeowner shot him and held him until police arrived.

Well, I see we have another sighting of Run-DMC’s idiot cousin, 1-DMF . . . .

Seriously, how freaking stupid do you have to be to stick around when someone armed with a pistol tells you to leave the premises?

CRACK IS WACK!!!

You have to be a special kind of stupid to break into a house in Texas. You would think that they would go after easier unarmed prey in some Northern blue States.

I hate to say it, but Crazy Joe may have this one right. A handgun says “leave me the hell alone”, but a shotgun loaded with buckshot says “chunks of meat removed from torso”.

Note however, a shotgun does not fit into a pocket very well….. 🙂

I love stories with a happy ending!

Scumbag is lucky the homeowner was aiming for center mass and not the ocular region.

@1 “…how freaking stupid do you have to be…”

Maybe they’re in so much pain they’re hoping someone will put them out of their misery. That’s the only answer that makes any sense to your very pertinent question, Hondo.
