Monday feel good story

| July 8, 2013

Chief Tango sends us a link to the story of a low-rent home invasion in which a 20-year-old man’s life was turned around by a rural resident of LaPorte County, Indiana. The youngster rode a moped to the scene and attacked the resident with a hatchet;

Sheriff Michael Mollenhauer tells FOX28 News that a man was in his home on E. 1000 North between N. 650 E and North 700 East when he was woken up by the sound of breaking glass. The homeowner told police he found someone in his house carrying a hatchet. The homeowner fought with the intruder, then shot the man, killing him.

Investigators believe the suspect drove a moped to the home and broke in through a rear window. They think he is from Three Oaks Township, MI but his name has not been released at this time. Police do not think the two men knew each other.

There’s video of the news report at this link.

Well you know the old joke, Mopeds and fat girls are fun to ride and committing a burglary with a hatchet is all fun and games until your friends see you and the homeowner with a gun catches you.
/moped.

Honestly, besides drugs, what goes through an idiots head to break into a home with a hatchet while it is occupied? The moped must have been the high speed get away ride. Well good for the homeowner and there is one less to pay for in the hospital and county lockup. My only other question is why did he fight with the intruder? Never let them get that close to you.

A hatchet? In this day and age? What was that, suicide by homeowner?

The late dearly departed should have watched Master Chief’s epic training video on using shovels as weapons.

“Yo I’ll be right back I’m gonna go to this dude’s house in my moped with my hatchet and get me some hipster cash”

@6 – Regarding your comment that you can’t fix stupid… Evidently you can.

Stupid has its own reward system. It can break your bones or earn you a death sentence.
