Sunday morning feel good story

Chief Tango sends us our feel good story this morning, this time it is from Louisiana;

“[The homeowner] heard somebody in the back of his home,” said Cpl. L’Jean McKneely with BRPD. “When he went to investigate what was going on, he saw the individual inside the house and he confronted him and shot him.”

Investigators said the homeowner found Boyette in a bedroom inside the home and shot him.”We definitely all look after each other, very well,” said Pete Dawson, a neighbor.

“A man at home minding his own business has a right to protect himself and his family,” said District Attorney Hillar Moore.

The homeowner will not be charged.

Police added Boyette had a long criminal history and had drugs on him at the time of the break-in and shooting.

Walt sends another from North Carolina;

[Sixty-eight-year-old Joseph] Sapienza, a Marine Corps veteran who served four years in Vietnam, was watching television in his bed at 7:42 p.m. at his home on Davis Avenue. He heard someone prying off the lock and pulling the nails to the latch out of his front door.

He grabbed his .45-caliber handgun, put it in a holster on his walker and began shuffling toward the sound. He flipped a hallway light on, yelled out to announce he was armed, and yanked open the door to see two men wearing ski masks.

They jumped off his porch and practically tripped over one another trying to flee, Sapienza said.

“It was like a keystone cops scene,” he said. “When they saw the .45, one ran one way up the street, and the other went the other way.”

A vet with a 1911 isn’t someone you want to tangle with.
