Saturday feel good story
Biermann and Chief Tango send us a link to our story this morning, this one from Illinois where a 62-year-old man was met by a 72-year-old Vietnam veteran when the younger man forced his way in to the elder’s home;
A 72-year old man defending his home fired one shot at a man who broke down his back door Thursday afternoon in a rural area south of Cahokia. The suspected burglar fled the house but collapsed and died on the driveway in the 2100 block of Imbs Station Road.

A neighbor told FOX2 News there have been several burglaries in the neighborhood and he had seen the blue Intrigue being driven in the area before. Detectives are still working to identify the dead man. He had no identification with him and the car`s Illinois license plate did not match the vehicle.

Hack Stone…I was good, I was interested, until the GED part. Now I have to stop and clean coffee off my screen, again! Thanks bud!
One less turd the taxpayers will have to feed, clothe, and house.
One less customer for Social Security and Medicare.
Maybe the perp was trying to supplement his early SocSec retirement.
Well, he got the “early retirement” part right. All the way to an early dirt nap.
