Your Sunday feel good story
Today’s feel good story comes from Chief Tango and happened in Shreveport, Louisiana. It seems that 24-year-old Malcolm Xavier Fuller was turning his life around, armed with two guns, dressed in black and his face covered when he demanded that the four people he found in their living room give him their money, instead one of the four gave him something he didn’t expect;
Four people were inside the residence when Fuller, who was dressed in all black clothing with his face covered, went inside and demanded they give him money, police say. One of the residents then allegedly shot Fuller.
When police arrived, they found Fuller suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper body. He was taken to LSU Hospital where he later died.
Police say at this time the shooting appears to be justifiable. Detectives will turn their findings over to the District Attorney for review.
The Shreveport Times reports that Fuller had a pretty extensive record of turning his life around stretching back to 2008 – that means his career began when he was 19 years old.

Love feeling good on a Sunday morning! It smells like…victory.
I feel pretty good about that too. I think I’ll just pour myself a scotch and soda in honor of Mr. Fuller and how well he turned his life around.
I’m glad Mr. Fuller did something with his life, even if that something was becoming a statistic on crime.
People, if you are going to shoot an intruder, empty the entire clip center-mass. When the police arrive, there should be only ONE version of what went down. Yours.
“that means his career began when he was 19 years old.”
So this is what Trayvon Martin would have been in 5 years. Glad someone put him down.
This is how “Stand your ground” works. Resident stood his ground, assailant will soon be under the ground.
His adult crime career started at 19 but I’ll wager that his juvenile career started somewhat earlier. Whatever, it’s over now.
“His adult crime career started at 19 but I’ll wager that his juvenile career started somewhat earlier. Whatever, it’s over now.”
I’m betting the farm that you are 100% correct on that. There are 14 year olds out there that are ruthless. Assholes have lengthy records of assault, theft, drugs and firearms violations. I cant see why they insist on giving total scumbags a clean slate for an 18th birthday present.
Some shit just needs to stay for future use in trials.
Good shootin’, Louie! Mission accomplished. Homeowner, 1. Perp, 0. Medical lead infusion complete. No further range time needed.
#4 Fen. “clip”??
“#4 Fen. “clip”??” I’m sure he has a Garand. 😉
Juvenile records are sealed–and I’m not here to argue that they shouldn’t be, although there is strong argument to be made for revealing them in certain cases. What I think IS absolutely ridiculous is preserving that seal after the lil’ fella has graduated to an adult felony conviction. When that happens, there is no reason to preserve the juvenile protection, which were placed in order to allow the lil’ fella to grow into a protective adult citizen, unfettered by ‘uteful’ indiscretions.
“Malcolm X”… Yeah… Naming a kid like that’s gonna turn out well…
Well, Dead Later On is almost as good as Dead Right There.
I said almost.
