Saturday morning feel good stories
Our first story this morning is from Florida and it is about an Army veteran, Joshua Anderson of Port St. Lucie, who was fishing when he saw two homeless fellows beating us a woman;
“He saw a woman being attacked at night, and he went to her aid. In my opinion I think he did the right thing,” the sheriff says.
Anderson is a disabled Army veteran. The sheriff couldn’t specify what his disability was.
He says the two homeless men were threatening Anderson and one of them shoved him.
That’s when witnesses say Anderson told the two that he had a gun and that they should back off.
But the sheriff says the two didn’t leave him alone, and that’s when he shot them both in the torso.
“You don’t have an obligation to allow yourself to be attacked,” the sheriff says.
Next up is Ohio, where a restraining is just a piece of paper, even for off-duty female police officers like Sarah Berkey in regards to her really ex-ex-boyfriend Adam Jovicic;
The woman who dialed 911 is heard screaming.
A man’s voice is heard in the background, and the woman apologizes, crying and screaming.
There is a dog barking in the background, and the man asks the woman if she wants to die. The barking and screaming continues for nearly 5 minutes. Then, pops can be heard, and then silence.
The woman said, “Please help me. I shot him. I shot him.”
She tells the dispatcher that he broke in.
The Summit County Medical Examiner said Jovicic was shot at the home at about 2 a.m. on Thursday.
He died from the shooting at Akron City Hospital hours later.

Those are a pair of great feel good stories to start the day off right. Especially for the ex-ex boyfriend (and the world is a more peaceful place, beginning now). I hope the ex-ex-ex girlfriend police officer Sarah has help and therapy available to her to help her through this rough patch in her life.
As for the Florida story, that’s a feel good all around. A disabled vet, armed, and willing to stick his neck out for a stranger in need. Matching action to word, and not backing down in a time of crisis.
And the sheriff who is backing him up and (from the story anyway) not charging the vet with any “crime”.
3 perps, 3 hits, 1 room temperature…it’s starting out as a great weekend.
Why can’t these goddamn no good homeless people just behave themselves and simply live out their wretched, miserable lives peacefully?
Thank God for Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law!
