Thursday morning feel good stories
Near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a fellow made an authorized withdrawal from his bank. His only form of identification was his handgun. When he left the bank, another person who happened to be armed, followed him and perforated his ass in the parking lot away from bystanders. The robber and his newly acquired extra hole are being treated at the local hospital.
In San Antonio, Texas, two enterprising youths tried to withdraw money from the till at an automotive shop, but the uncooperative shop owner pulled his gun out instead and shot one of the fellows in the stomach. His friend dropped him off at the hospital where he expired, so that’s one DOT for today (Dead Over There) for those keeping count.

“newly acquired extra hole” – NAEH
“Dead Over There” – DOT
It’s getting tough to keep up with these new acronyms or those that deserve one 🙂
LIRight.. being new to this crew, I’m still learning the initials. Just when I think I learned them all…out pops a new one. Our favorite DRT. My son laughed himself silly
See, my bank has taken the fun out of banking.
They’ve installed those big mechanical tellers (not ATMs) which will give you exact amounts and receipts for deposits, but they won’t smile and say ‘Good morning’ or ask about your day.
I wish bank robbers would stop trying to bring back the Wild West and the 1930s. The Dalton Gang and the James brothers and Ma Barker were just bad people. But these modern day dorks have chased out the humans.
In the first story, I suspect that Mr. Forgeng (the city councilman who stopped the perp) is going to have some trouble over this. Or maybe I just need more information. Read the link.
I don’t know Richard….a civilian is not as restricted by law and police rules/procedures.
A police officer generally cannot make “assumptions” like those made by Mr. Forgeng, an assumption that the perp was indeed armed. He assumed he was armed after the dye exploded thus reasoning that a robbery occurred. A bank robbery alarm was activated, but we don’t know if it was audible or silent.
Is it unreasonable that Forgeng assumed that a guy running out of a bank with an exploding red dye bag of money is likely armed? Personally, I don’t think it’s a problem. We need more armed citizens with loads of guts and common sense to help law enforcement when appropriate.
Three perps, disposition: one taking the endless dirtnap, a second shot in the azz and in custody, and the third on the run and (presumably) looking for clean skivvies. Sounds like a good day.
Have to say that I prefer DSA (dead soon after) to DOT (dead over there) – but both work, and I’ll go with reader consensus on which is best. (smile)
Just dead makes my day, but I like DRT best.
DRT, DOT and DSA all make my day better.
The problem I see is this, Say some teenagers (4) are having a good time, they park next to the little convience store, the driver stays at the wheel of the running car with one other teen, 2 of them run into the store to grab some snacks and something to drink, (nonalcoholic) Now these 2 are having fun, no worries just girls and sports, they go up to the counter and pay and get the clerk happy and joking with them as the clerk is talking about the baseball bat he keeps as he pulls it out from under the counter, another person that is armed pulls up to the store and sees inside the store and what appears to him is the clerk raising his bat and the teens acting scared as they run out of the store to the waiting running vehicle. The man outside thought the clerk was being robbed and pulls his gun out and yells at the teens and shoots.
I am not against guns, as a single women I have thought about buying one, but this is a senerio that I see happening
So, you just make them suddenly turn from laughing and having a good time into acting scared? Not that it really matters much, but your scenario just doesn’t make any sense.
That’s the problem with idle speculation. Real life is difficult enough to sort through without playing what-if games with fictional “facts.”
Take your pills, your imagination is running away with you (we hope)
As a single woman you are a prime target for thugs LoAnn.
Don’t overthin thigs like this. Your gut instinct is usually right and although that scenario might happen the rest of the 300 million or more scenarios are still out there waiting.
As a member of the NRA I can only suggest that you check out the stories of women with and without firearms and how their li8ves have changed because they didn’t have a firearm when they needed one.
My life was saved by a firearm on one occassion and almost assuredly on a second occassionb.
One thing for certain, if you don’t have one and you really need one your life will never be the same.
Criminals are more brazen these days so being protected by a firearm is a choice that you have to make.
But do yourself a favor and do a lot of research before you make what may be a life changing decision.
