Another Saturday feel good story
Since the earlier Saturday feel good story actually happened on Tuesday, you get a bonus today along with some chuckles from Land O’Lakes, FL. It seems that two men tried to turn their lives around with someone else’s property, but I guess the initial investment in their start-up business wasn’t quite enough, so they took a fake gun to their first cold call visit;
The sheriff’s office said two men went into the cottage armed with a fake gun and tried to rob the people inside. Someone inside then pulled out a real gun and shot the suspects, deputies said.
Both of the injured men ran outside and collapsed on the sidewalk by the road.
A registered nurse, Jennifer Price, was driving by with her daughter and stopped to help.
“When I stopped, I said ‘Somebody needs to get that gun and move it, I don’t want to get shot,’” she said. “One of the boys that I went to had about four or five gunshot wounds and I just tried to help him as much as I could. The other fellow they moved off and he had several wounds to but he wasn’t conscious at the time.”
The article goes on to say that there were five people in the house at the time including a 2-year-old. Both of the ventilated entrepreneurs are in serious condition and probably looking forward to their well-earned retirement from the property-ownership-transfer business.

Would these two look like Obama, if he had sons?
“A registered nurse, Jennifer Price, was driving by with her daughter and stopped to help.”
Who does that? Oh, a blood guy on the side of the road. I better endanger myself and my child because there is no way this could turn out badly!
I sure hope somebody is looking into this child’s environment after this.
Man with fake gun tries to rob person with real gun.

@1: I am sensing a new Running Gag.
Heh. Very nice lesson in community relations.
@4, When someone like Baracka says stupid shit, it needs to be pointed out, constantly.
As is constantly said here, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
I’m surprised that these two yuts just looking to turn their lives around didn’t win the ultimate prize of a trip to the morgue. Need to look into that, what did the homeowner do wrong?
Just one more reason that Stevie Wonder will not be performing in Florida. I don’t know if he has any upcoming gigs that will be cancelled, but I am sure if you ask him, Ted Nugent would be willing to perform instead.
One of the rules for a “gun fight”. Bring a gun
@9 CI
Second rule is..don’t come in 2nd place
That is one of my favorite stories from my dad….back when he was a Detective he had to investigate that died at home from being stabbed multiple times….
My dad was interviewing his mom (the deceased), an elderly lady, and ask her what happened…she says
“Oh..he was down at that ol’ bar again. Got into a knife fight with some ol’ boy and came in second place”
Let me try that again…the wine is making me Wickre-ish
