Saturday feel good story

This morning’s story comes from Texas;

A homeowner opened fire on a would-be burglar attempting to break into his home in the 4400 block of Timbercreek.

“You have to do what you have to do,” said a neighbor, who asked not to be identified.

The homeowner told police he shot the burglar, who then hopped into a charcoal-colored Toyota Corolla with three other men and sped away. Police are attempting to track down the suspects.

What can I say after that quote from the neighbor?

Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.

Mark sends us another one from Georgia, I guess it’s a bad idea to jump into cars there with the intention to car jack a citizen;

Fannin says the man slipped into the passenger’s seat when his doors automatically unlocked.

“He told me, ‘You know what this is,’” Fannin said. That is when Fannin says he pulled his gun out.

“I asked him to get out the car, probably not in those exact words,” Fannin said.

“I told him no, there’s no leaving, leaving was before you hopped into my car … at this point there is not leaving,” Fannin said.

The car owner kept the suspect, Edgar Horn, 61, at gunpoint face down in the parking lot for several minutes until police arrived.

“You were not trying to rob me,” Fannin said to the man on cellphone video of the incident. “Do you just get into random people’s cars … you thought I was your friend … you thought I was your friend … so you woke up stupid this morning?”

When police arrived, you can see Fannin wave them over, and put his gun down. The police officer shakes his hand, before putting the suspect in handcuffs.
