Wednesday morning feel good story

| February 4, 2015

Old Trooper sent us this morning’s story which comes from Michigan where an 11-year-old was home alone;

[James Wasson, 53, of Detroit] knocked on all the doors and then forced entry into the residence, the Lapeer County Sheriff’s Department said.

The child hid in a bathroom closet with a shotgun, police said. The bathroom and the bathroom closet were eventually forced open by the suspect.

The 11-year-old aimed the gun at the suspect and the suspect fled from the residence, police said, adding the child was not harmed during the incident.

The police found Wasson and Rhonda Steward, 31, his getaway driver and they’re in custody today. The Washington Times says that the 11-year-old child was actually a little girl.

From Chief Tango comes a story from Texas where LTC Bateman’s question about why anyone shoudl take a gun to restaurant is answered once again.;

Investigators said that a disturbance occurred inside the Mien Tay Quan restaurant, which was full of customers at the time.

One of the men involved walked out to his vehicle and retrieved a handgun, deputies said. He then fired several times through the glass front door of the restaurant.

That’s when one of those customers, Anthony Yet, who happens to be an investigator with the Harris County Attorney’s Office, pulled out his service gun, immediately took aim and shot the suspect right then and there.

And finally, from Georgia, where an elderly woman was injured in a shoot-out with burglars;

The homeowner told deputies she heard a noise and found two burglars inside her house.

One of the burglars shot the woman three times. After getting shot, she managed to grab her gun and fire back, but the two got away.

“It’s a scary thing to know because my neighbors have been here a long time, and for the past six or seven years nothing has ever happened,” said neighbor Dipali Faldu.

Deputies don’t know if the homeowner shot one of the burglars. Deputies notified local medical staff to look for anyone wanting treatment for a gunshot wound.

Good on that 11 year old for keeping her head. When that man gets caught, he’ll have quite the reputation.

Damn, two loonies in the FB comments now. I sure hope no one finds out I’m active military…

Looks like some all night internet cafe pays them in online access in return for scrubbing toilets and collecting trash.

Yeah, somebody is playing games. All roads lead to Rome. Shutting down one is of no consequence.

Daniel A. Bernath and Dallas Wittgenfeld stop at nothing to display their idiocy for all to see. YOU IDIOTS have accused the wrong man of being me once again, the latest makes at least seven.

You lose yet again.

Jonn, are you taking screen shots of these (so far) two idiot members of the Dutch Rudder Club, to present later in court?? I hope so. They are beyond tiresome.

That last one in Georgia isn’t too far from where my wife used to live. It’s a good neighborhood, and I’m not too surprised that they hit a place with an armed occupant. A few years ago you’d be hard pressed not to find someone who wasn’t armed. Oh, and to the two old morons posting above – honestly, no one is buying it. First, to Witless, the DA G1 doesn’t issue orders about computer use. All of the soldiers assigned to organizations in DC and its surrounding area fall under the command of the Military District of Washington. So, any authority to issue orders and punish comes from MG Buchanan, not LTG McConville. When I get a chance, I’ll walk over the DA G1’s office and ask his exec or one of the NCOs there about the “NO HONORABLE SOLDIER ALLOWED” list. I’m sure that they will all get a good laugh out of it. Second, to Danny. If you got that IP from anywhere, it came from your silly assed attempt to mock TAH on your website. That’s why I use masking software when I want a giggle and take a look at your bile there. I can guarantee that it didn’t come from here. I also know enough CID folks to know that 1) they aren’t going to feed you any information about an ongoing investigation and 2) they aren’t remotely interested in people posting here from military computers. See, CID gets involved in felonies. Posting on a blog isn’t a felony. I’ll sit here and wait for Special Agent X to show up at my desk and take me away in handcuffs. What both of you old men seem to miss is that the military has changed significantly since the Vietnam era, when both of you ended your mediocre service. While your bluster seems relevant and truthful to you, to us it’s kind of like Napoleon trying to correct Patton’s cavalry tactics. It just doesn’t translate. Again, the gang that can’t shoot straight fires and misses. Really, do you think that you are going to dissuade… Read more »

Bernath and Wittgenfeld, ha ha, ha ha. What do you two do, piss in each other’s cornflakes everyday! Really, I bet the guys or officers at the DoD are busting a gut laughing at you. And you can be sure they are taking notice of your bullshit notices supposedly being communicated by them to you. I would say your digging your own holes. Keep digging, eventually you will completely bury yourselves.
On the positive side here, what a courageous young lady with the shotgun.
