Saturday morning feel good story
The first story comes from South Carolina where a homeowner had to disarm an intruder in order to have a weapon;
Platts says he discovered a man crouched in his laundry room, pointing a shotgun directly at him early Saturday morning.
He says he doesn’t remember anything that went through his head before he lunged at the intruder…except for one thing.
“The only thing I do remember was that I knew if he got past me, he was going to go after my wife and my daughter.”
Within seconds, Platts says he was able to pry the shotgun from the intruder’s hands.
“I called for my wife and she took the shotgun out of my hand,” he said.
Their daughter, 17 years old, was the one who called police while wife Carrie Platts held the shotgun at the intruder. They say he broke in through their doggy door.
“When David had him on the floor he just kept staring at my daughter. and now when she closes her eyes at night that’s all she sees,” Carrie said. “We’re all having trouble sleeping. we’re having trouble just being here because you’re been invaded. your home’s been invaded. your privacy’s been taken away.”
As an aside, if you’re ordering a pizza in Indianapolis, it’s probably going to be delivered by a Second Amendment supporter;
One driver at Just Pizza’s westside location contacted by IM declined to say how many drivers there carry weapons, but added, “We’re big believers in the Second Amendment.”
Pizza delivery is often cited as one of the most dangerous occupations nationwide, though the Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn’t track the specific numbers. But according to preliminary data for 2013, the occupational class they belong to—“drivers, sales workers, and truck drivers”—experienced the highest fatality rate of any job, registering 748 deaths. Indeed, less than two weeks after Sullivan’s death, Papa John’s driver Daniel Jaffke delivered to a southside apartment complex where a robber shot the 30-year-old through the heart and left him dead by a Dumpster. The shooter, Shawn Wilson, 27, was convicted in August.

There is SO much wrong with the first story:
-A perp crawls through your doggie door? DAY-UM, you got some BIG dogs!
-You took the shotgun away from the perp, and held him until the po-po came? Ya should’a said, “Oops, he’s dead, the shotgun went off while we were wrestling for it.”
-Now your daughter is frightened because the perp looked her? (facepalm)
A dogdoor that big and the thief was not turned into a chew toy? Baby Girl my gentle and friendly 170 pound Rottie would have been bringing his leg. Baby Girl would then be expecting her reward of 3 or 4 dog bones. think like a Schoobie treat.
Here’s another Saturday Morning Feel Good Story. Found it in yesterday’s USA Today. Comes from Burlington, Vermont. I quote,
“A New York man became suspended by the seat of his pants outside a second-story window Wednesday morning after attempting to jump from the apartment while a search warrant was being conducted in the building, the Burlington Free Press reported.”
Pizza delivery, sales, & truckdrivers all have more dangerous jobs than cops. They also don’t kill somebody every 8 hrs. because they “fear for their life”!
Yep I also have a doggie door big enough to crawl through. The German shepherd insisted that I get one that he fits through.
To pizza delivery people…..you carry a pouch that keeps the pizza warm, keep your right hand under the warmer with a pistol in it, if you have a nutcase…shoot him under the pizza lol..That’s what you call pizza to die for 😉
