Tuesday morning feel good story
Chief Tango sends us our feel good story this morning, this time from Tennessee where a seasoned citizen was shot and struck in the face but never left his post;
Don Grubb, 73, said when he went outside to see why his dog was barking late Saturday night, he noticed a car traveling slowly down his road and park near his barn. He then grabbed a shotgun from his house, told his wife to call police and headed towards the barn.
While inside his barn, Grubb heard noises coming from the neighboring house, which happened to be his granddaughter’s home, who was away on vacation. He hid near the barn, waiting for the two men to leave the house. When Clyde Webster and Tyler Trivett came out of the front door, Grubb told the two men to stop and that deputies were on their way, according to a Hamblen County press release.
Webster then fired a round from his shotgun at Grubb, who shot back. A round hit Grubb in the face, fracturing his jaw. The suspects then ran away.
Minutes later, 21-year-old Webster returned to the property to get his car, and Grubb was waiting. The 73-year-old held Webster at gunpoint, forcing him to lay in the middle of the street until deputies arrived.

Ouch! Sounds like Mr Grubb will be getting his nourishment through a straw for awhile.
But hopefully he can sell Webster’s car (under asset forfeiture) to help pay for the medical bills for his jaw.
Luckily merely a buckshot pellet. A slug would have gone straight through.
Recommend Don carries an auto rifle in future.
recommend getaway-driver remain in the vehicle next time.
Clyde and Tyler…..sounds like a good ol’ boy and his punk sidekick. Probably cousins to Goober and Bubber.
Tom Huxton…Don’t forget cousin Scooter waiting at home to watch that new big screen Clyde and Tyler promised him for a couple of joints and a night of hitting the meth pipe.
Don’t mess with us old guys! Too old to run and too worn out to put up with the bullshit we did when we were younger.
