Wednesday feel good story
AmyJ sends us a link to today’s feel good story. As with many of these stories lately, this one comes from Houston. I guess the criminals aren’t learning their lessons from the news down there. But, this guy was at the RedBox renting movies when two gentlement decided to turn their lives around with his car and his phone;
The suspects got into his car and started backing out. That’s when police say the car’s owner pulled his gun and started shooting at the carjackers.
“He shot the passenger possibly two to three times. He was able to get out the passenger side and run away,” said Sgt. Robert Torres with the Houston Police Department. “The driver was also shot. He tried to climb out the passenger side door, but he did not survive his injuries.”
Police say the passenger and a third suspect who was driving the getaway car are still on the run. Officers will be checking area hospitals to see if anybody turns up with gunshot wounds.

That just warms the heart…..
Good to see the local police aren’t charging the carjacking victim. Hopefully the grand jury to which the case is referred has the same degree of common sense.
I also hope his insurance company doesn’t give him a hard time about having the damages repaired and the car’s upholstery re-done, either.
Waiting for the follow-up when the other suspects are found at hospitals with GSWs and badly soiled knickers
Car Jacking is treated the same way as horse rustling down in Texas.

Sweet. Still wonder how the auto insurance will work out.
Glad the shooter helped those fellows turn their lives around.
@3: Yeah, I wanna hear whether the partially ventilated dude gets arrested at the hospital, when he shows up to get the holes plugged.
How is the car doing? It is so sad!
Yes, because when you’re the victim of a violent felony you’re the one that should be judged in court before the criminals…..oops, SUSPECTS.
This fucking country, I swear.
Can’t blame lack of range time on this one. As I understand it, one has to physically (over?)compensate for shooting through a windshield, similar to the optical compensation for shooting through water. The windshield deflects the bullet.
In any case, good on the car owner!
