Tuesday feel good story
Chief Tango sends us a link to today’s feel good story from Huntsville Alabama, where Hank, Dale and Bill were standing in their yard when three other men, trying to turn their lives around, drove up and flashed guns at the trio in an attempt to rob them;
Shots rang out among both groups.
One of the robbers was shot several times and was dead on the scene, according to police. Witnesses said he was in his 20s. One of the robbery victims was shot in the leg. HEMSI took the victim to the hospital. The victim is expected to recover.
Officers collected three guns at the scene. They are also questioning those involved. No arrests have been made yet.

Sounds like they were really serious about turning their lives around. But not too smart about it.
This whole story seems a bit strange. Three men are standing around armed at 10:30 at night, two armed men come up and try to rob them…
I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me, since I’m usually checking my eyelids for leaks by 9pm.
Seems to me that if you are in Hunstville, Alabma and you run into three guys named Hank, Dale and Bill that there is a pretty good chance they are packing. Work on turning your life around at your own risk.
Hank Dale and Bill are obivously racist for shooting those guys and should spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

Matt- actually Huntsville is one of the more educated cities around – tons of government contractors who try to hire advanced degree holders. That being said….
One “victim” shot in the leg. Shooter needs remedial range time..
I made those names up, by the way. Using Boomhauer might have given it away.

That crossed my mind, too.
Now tax payers get to pay for treatment.
Ahhh, I get it.
Three men in yard (MIY), about ten PM.
Two young men in car, looking to turn their lives around (LTTTLA)
Shots fired.
One LTTTLA young man dead, other LTTTLA young man escaped in white car.
One MIY shot in leg, in hospital, ok so far.
#6 & #8, ummm, ok, no remedial range time needed.
@5 Dave – no slight intended on the denizens of Huntsville. I just figured like here in NC if you roll up on some good old boys you best be bringing your “A” game. Chances are “Hank”, “Dale” and “Bill”have better aim and better training than your average youth looking to turn his life around.
@7 Jonn. +1 internets for you!
One of the loveliest ladies I know lives in Huntsville… ironically given the other “Cover of the Rolling Stone” mention, she told me at one time she drove the tour bus for Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show.
