Wednesday morning feel good story

| June 25, 2014

Ohio sends us our feel good story this morning from Philadelphia where Sharon Doyle who confronted a knife-weilding thug at work;

The 46-year-old store owner returned to Stan’s Health Foods in the Mayfair section of the city later that day. As she continued to work alone, police say a 47-year-old man entered the store with a knife in hand, immediately announcing a robbery.

The man went behind the counter, grabbed the register and threw it to the ground, forcing it open, according to investigators. After grabbing some cash, he allegedly stood up and put his knife to Doyle’s chest.

Unbeknownst to him, Doyle was armed not only with her .38 revolver but also years of law enforcement training. Before becoming a store owner, Doyle worked as a secret service agent in Philadelphia, protecting visiting dignitaries such as President Bush. She’s also a former Philadelphia Police Officer.

Doyle pulled out her weapon and fired, striking the man in the torso. He collapsed to the ground and Doyle called police.

“When police arrived he was behind the counter, unconscious on the ground,” said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small. “He still had a $100 bill clutched in his left hand.”

It’s nice to see my old neighborhood make the news. Next time that I am up that way, if his homies erect the standard candles and teddy bear memorial, I’ll be sure to piss on it. Fo’ Shizzle!

“He still had a $100 bill clutched in his left hand.”

At today’s Big Gubbment induced rate of inflation, is that about the same as the 2 cents for covering the eyes??

God, I would have LOVED to see his “I jus’ fucked up” face when he looked up and saw her pistol big as shit in his cockholster. This story really made me feel good. Hell, I giggled a bit. “Yea, the old white bitch, I’ll scare her real good, grab the cash, and maybe even fuck her for good measure”. Yep, very nice Wednesday feel mighty good story.
