Tuesday morning feel good story

Police line

AW1Ed sends us first feel good story this morning, this time it’s from Texas and despite that it’s in Texas, it doesn’t involve a good guy with a gun;

[Jimmy] Morgan Jr. says [Thomas] McGowan entered his home through a window.

Morgan Jr. says he reached for the spear which he keeps close to his bed.

“This door is open within five seconds, probably within three seconds; this door was open and he was standing no more than two to three feet away from me,” Morgan Jr. says. “I looked at him, I didn’t see any weapons however I was terrified.”

Morgan Jr. says he was able to stab McGowan once.

He says McGowan was lucky to deflect the spear which only injured his hand and shoulder.

He says, “He started retreating and I started advancing and I was stalking him here, you never cross your legs, and I cornered him right here.”

In addition, he says, “The door was locked and shut. He was panicked at this point. He said, ‘I can’t get out, I can’t get out’.”

Morgan Jr. says after fumbling with the door McGowan was able to get outside.

“As he was running, he smeared blood from here to high heaven and he splattered here and he splattered there and splattered all over there. It was like a deer,” Morgan Jr. says.

The second story comes from Chief Tango and happened in South Carolina;

The resident told deputies the man entered his home without permission and began attacking his dog. The resident warned the man to leave several times before retrieving his handgun and firing two times striking the intruder, the report states.

The resident’s story was corroborated by witness statements, deputies say.

A spear! Well that escalated quickly!!

“Did you throw a trident?”
“Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.”
“Brick, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you’re probably wanted for murder.”

A spear. Who knew? “Any chair in a barfight”. (I forget the Latin)

Spear? Unusual. And impressive.

Seems to me I read a comment once that the assegai short spear was one of the world’s most lethal short range weapons, and let’s face it, the Romans conquered most of the known world with not much more than spears. I’m sure as hell not going to try and tangle with one.

Who the heck keeps a spear by their bed?

(says the guy with a katana next to his bed)
