Wednesday morning feel good stories

Your heart-warming stories begin in Pennsylvania this morning, where neighbors rescued a woman from her former lover. He had imprisoned her for more than twenty hours, assaulting and stabbing her repeatedly, until she was able to squirm out of his grasp and into the view of the neighbors;

There was a lot of ruckus,” said neighbor Tatiana Scriver. “They almost sounded like there was a stampede going through the building.”

Another neighbor Nicky Mimikos said, “He’s on top of her just punching her in the face. He got up and started stomping her in the face.”

That’s when another neighbor, Henry Oppenheim, saw what was going on and sprung into action.

“So I quickly ran into my room grabbed my gun and went out to defend her,” said Oppenheim “I said let her go. And then he finally did it.”

Oppenheim has a concealed carry permit and says he brings his gun almost everywhere he goes.

“And then we moved her to the front to get her safe and secure and away from him,” said Scriver.

“We all stick together and when we see a girl getting beat — we just don’t allow that,” said Mimikos

As for Oppenheim, he says he’d do it all over again.

“In a heartbeat. Not a second thought. No reservations.”

On down the East Coast to Florida where police think that a 77-year-old home owner is being credited with bringing a crime spree to an end in the neighborhood;

According to police, the burglars had entered the house and shots were fired around 1 p.m.

One burglar was shot in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene. The other burglar was also shot in the chest and was taken to Kendall Regional Hospital where he was in critical condition.

Yep, us old folks can’t fight and we can’t flee, so we shoot…center mass.

In Alabama, a restraining order is just a piece of paper;

The 58-year-old female homeowner reported that she had been dating a 46 year-old man and earlier in the day they had argued and she had asked him to leave her house. He went outside, but continued to argue and asked to be let back inside the house. The victim told him that he would not be allowed back into her home and to leave. She then closed the door.

The woman told detectives a short time later, she heard the front door being forced open, she armed herself and found the man standing inside the house holding a box cutter. According to the woman, he moved toward her and she fired one shot and he left.

So Mr. Macho Man will probably recover, just in time to make some new friends in the local jail. It will be his turn to be the victimized girlfriend.

Thanks to Chief Tango for the links as always.

Marine_7002 sends us a bonus story from Michigan where a dialysis patient went the clinic for his treat;

The victim had just arrived for an appointment when the suspect approached the vehicle from a wooded area between the dialysis building and adjacent Rite Aid.

The suspect stood at the passenger side of the vehicle and asked for the victim’s wallet, police said. The victim refused, and the suspect pulled a small revolver from inside his hoodie.

The victim told police he then pulled his own gun on the suspect and said, “Do you really want to do this?”

The suspect responded, “Have a nice day,” and ran back into the wooded area, the victim told police. The victim proceeded into the dialysis clinic, where he called police to report the incident.

He should have said something like “You call that a gun? Now, this is a gun….”
