Thursday feel good story
PSC sends us a link to the adventures of 77-year-old John Lewis of South Memphis who came face-to-face with a burglar in his home;
He peaked out his bedroom and found himself face-to-face with a burglar, “He told me about three times ‘close your door or I will shoot you. I got a gun.”
Lewis says he obeyed the burglar and went back in his bedroom, but when straight to where he hides his gun, “I came back out and I shot him.”
The 77-year-old fired three times, hitting Travis Weddle twice.
Police say when bullets grazed his chest and wounded his hand, Weddle ditched the 55-inch TV and got out of there,.
“He came out the door and hollered back ‘I left my keys in there’ His car was parked out here. A white Maxima.”
Grandpa wasn’t giving him the car keys so the injured burglar had to walk.
He got about a mile before calling police on himself saying he’d been shot!
“I would have shot him too,” said Nieghbor Calvin Jackson.
Yeah, just a sec, here’s your keys, dumbass.

I left my keys in your house that I was burglarizing. Any chance you’ll toss ’em to me? Okay, then, can I borrow cab fare? No, huh? Well how about a couple of bandaids for these holes you put in me?
Bwahahahahahah. Nice shooting, Mr. Lewis. Don’t forget to sue him, now. Weddles might win the lottery one day.
Really does make me feel good. Just got home from surgery. I needed this story.
Shot his *and* denied him his ride. AWESOME!
I’m usually not a spelling nazi but jeez, these are supposed to be professional journalists. “I peaked?” And what is a nieghbor? Aside from that, good job Mr. Lewis.
And here I thought a 230 grain .45 ACP hot lead injection was a guaranteed cure for teh stoopid. Maybe this asshat needed a mag dump.
@2 Hope you’re feeling better soon, Sparks! 🙂
Even criminals in the age of Obama are incompetents. Thanks, Obama!
Not only should he not give this guy his keys, he should charge the anal spelunker for the cost of the two bullets the guy took from his house without permission.
Uh yep! Good job there, Mr. Weddle! Now drag your ass back to that shithole you crawled out of. Next time I hope all three rounds hit center mass. “Give me my car keys”. Mr Lewis should kept the car and hocked it for an AR-15 & a couple more pistols with ammo, lol.
Nik, i think you’re right on the money, ammo is quite expensive and hard to come by right now! I’d also send the turd a bill for the time I spent cleaning my weapon afterward!
Nice, but he needs more range time.
Oops. I think that guy left his intelligence (if he had any to begin with) in the house with his keys!!! Epic FAIL!!!!! I had to take a breath I was laughing so hard at this jack ass’ stupidity.
@8 I have to disagree. Weddle didn’t take them without permission… he asked for them and Mr. Lewis gave them to him.
