Tuesday morning feel good stories
This morning’s story comes from Utah of all places;
Police say Chichia began to forcefully pound on the homeowner’s door around 5:42a.m., which startled the family inside. When no one answered, he climbed onto the second story balcony.
The homeowner was then notified by his wife that someone was trying to get into the house through the balcony door.
The homeowner – who was armed with a gun – made his way to the door.
He went to the door, he unlocked the door and was intending on opening the door just a small crack so he could engage in conversation with the individual and find out why he was there and find out what he was doing,” said Smith.
Police say Chiciha then forced his way into the house. The homeowner was able to fire off one shot, which struck Chichia in the chest.
“Chichia was transported to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center lifesaving measures were taken but ultimately he died of his injuries today,” said Smith.
Mr. Homeowner has found the perfect amount of range time.
Meanwhile, in Detroit, they’re taking the advice of their police chief and arming themselves against criminals;
The shooting began at about 12:20 a.m. after the intruder, a 45-year-old man, forced the homeowner’s 30-year-old girlfriend into the house…at gunpoint, according to a news release from Detroit Police Department.
“The victim armed himself (with a) firearm, and exchanged gunfire with the perp,” killing the intruder, according to the news release.
The 46-year-old homeowner was taken to a hospital and is in temporary serious condition, police said.
Mr. Homeowner does well at the range, but he needs some work on using available cover. Seriously, though, we hope he pulls through.

Mr. Homeowner might have found the perfect amount of range time, but he needs to work on his common sense. If there is a locked door between you and the guy trying to get into your house, it’s best to keep the door locked and get the police on the phone.
He didn’t want to hurt a perfectly good door.
Good shooting, people.

Yep. these past couple of days have been a Utah two-fer.
Seems an islander and some friends were in a fight. When the po-po came to check it out, the friends all fled. The po-po gave chase. WHen the friends crashed their truck, the friends scattered. One stole another truck, and the chase continued. Then the one abandoned that truck in a mall/grocery store parking lot, and tried to continue on by attempting to steal another vehicle. This is where most of the news stories pick up, with the last carjack this islander would ever attempt.
I keep emphasizing “islander” (not sure if Tongan or Samoan), because we have quite a community of them here in SLC. And they can get quite large, and if they want to, quite threatening. (The Maori “haka” ceremony wasn’t always just for show).
So if Mr Gunowner (he has never been publicly ID’ed. someone has some sense) says that the islander lunged for him, believe it. Contrary to the deceased’s mother’s wails and laments, this was no lost and confused boy, looking to find his way home. This “boy” had been in trouble with the law before.
And to continue on the Utah two-fer, the discussion afterwards has been both entertaining, enlightening, and disgusting.
Most of it has been leaning leftist Libtard “oh guns are bad but sometimes occasionally necessary” (as a sop to gun owners). And the always present “oh my poor poor innocent baby”

Two up, two down – permanently. Can’t say I’m disappointed.
Too bad about the homeowner getting hurt, though. Hope he makes a full recovery.
Meanwhile .. across town…
Phoenix Man Shot and Killed in Apparent Domestic-Violence Incident

If you read the article you yourself linked above, you’ll see that there’s at least some evidence the dead guy had just gone into the bedroom while angry and hit the lady, who then shot him. The article indicates it wasn’t the first time things had gotten physical between them, either.
Looks to me like there’s a good chance your “example” was merely another case of lawful self-defense with a firearm. Your point?
So who was this guy Chichia? He sounds like Spiderman. “Climbed onto the second floor balcony”?
