Wednesday Morning Feel Good Story
This morning’s feel good story was sent by Chief Tango and happened in Minnesota where Kert and VeAnn Wright were forced to defend their livelihood from from a 16-year-old criminal who whacked Kert on the head with flashlight. Kert pulled out a gun and held the little weasel until the police arrived;
Reporter: “Pretty scary ordeal?”
VeAnn Wright: “Yeah, it was. I had a hard time sleeping last night.”
Kert Wright: “Something has got to happen. This is ridiculous for people to start doing this stuff. I hate to say it, but maybe somebody needs to get shot once in awhile. Maybe they’ll stop breaking into people’s houses, because they break into people’s homes quite a bit here.”
Kert says at no time during the ordeal did he put his finger on the trigger of his pistol. He says he felt in control of the situation and did not want to shoot the suspect. However, he’s hoping it sends a clear message to would be burglars at his business.

Do you ever sleep? Or was this a scheduled post? Then again, to do all you do, you’d have to be an insomniac. But, this insomniac appreciated the early morning smile and feel good.
Likewise, on both accounts. 🙂
The business owner showed this kid mercy. I hope he takes that notion and his new lease on life to heart and truly turns around. Next time, it might not go as well for him.
Sadly, I doubt it. But yea, I’m glad the owner kept his head in the game and didn’t have to resort to pulling the trigger. Minnesota doesn’t share the strong castle doctrine rights many other states have.
