Thursday Feel Good Story
Chief Tango sends today’s feel good story comes from Houston again where 58-year-old Dwayne Dixon was turning his life around in a convenience store;
Norman Ali, the clerk at the store, said that Dixon then pulled out his gun and demanded money. The clerk gave Dixon the money and then pulled out a gun of his own.
“I pulled out my gun and gave him a warning. After that, it took off back and forth shooting,” Ali said.
During the shooting, employees and customers were dogging bullets.
“There was no conversation, there was just gun fire. That’s all it was. The customers hid and that was it,” Ali said.
Ali said he shot Dixon more than once, before the suspect fled the scene in a brown Ford Astrovan. The clerk then followed the suspect.
Dixon ended up crashing into a ditch near the intersection of De Priest and Lucky, police said. He tried to get help from nearby residents demanding that they take him to a hospital.
Dixon even pulled a gun on one person, police said.
Dixon’s record of turning his life around goes back to 1988 and 1990 when he was convicted of aggravated robbery. So, Houston is marginally safer tonight while he tends his wounds.

Good on the clerk, but he probably should not have given a warning.
The sad part is that since he did not die, I do not get another commemorative t-shirt. Will the store clerk’s actions still be sufficient for Stevie Wonder to boycott Texas?
He followed him? Uh, oh…he must have profiled the guy, quick, we need Eric Holder to file a Civil Rights lawsuit….
he was driving a brown Astrovan? that alone is a punch line to a joke.
Anybody else notice that the loser ended up on Lucky Street?
He is a three time striker that simply wanted a job, free medical, dental and vision and someplace to live with three hot meals. So, why not go knock over your local Pakistani owned store and say goodbye Harris County, hello Huntsville! Prolly end up in the Rayburn Unit.
Good looking guy eh. I would give him a second look if he was behind me at the 7-11. Too bad we will have to pay for his hospital and incarceration. Range time for Mr. Ali.
I just love these feel good stories. Just warms my heart..
Uh oh… you shouldn’t have shown his picture. Now, since you have proven that he is black, Al Sharpton will do a march on TAH because we only show the black criminals. (You know, since the prisons are so full of the white ones, and all.)
Dunno Flagwaver, he might be a “White-Black”….
