Tuesday morning feel good stories
In Montgomery, Alabama, three fellows tried to turn their lives around by robbing some guy on the street. Unfortunately for them, the fellow they tried to rob was armed and he made one of them DOT (he went to the hospital before he checked out) and the two others will be charged with his murder.
In Louisville, Kentucky, Deontae Yarnell pleaded not guilty in a hearing after he chased down a fellow he caught on his property and made him DRT about a block away from his property. You shouldn’t do that. If you can’t hit them at the scene of their crime, just let them go.
In Vancouver, Canada, an intruder climbed in through a window, and the Traverse family dog alerted the family to the invading criminal. Mark Traverse loaded one of his rifles and made the criminal DRT. By the way, the burglar was a grizzly bear.
In Norman, Oklahoma, Kenny Childers, was followed home from the local casino by a couple of fellows who thought that he was an easy mark. One of them came to door of Childers’ home and demanded his winnings. Kenny turned over the winnings and his wife’s car keys before securing his rifle and stopping the thief, but he realized the gun wasn’t loaded. So he gave the fellow a running start while he went inside to get ammo, then Kenny stopped the criminal again mounted on his 4-wheeler. The thief’s accomplice drove off, but not before Kenny loosed a couple of rounds into the vehicle for later identification.
Kenny says his guns are loaded now, in case someone wants to take another shot at getting his winnings.

None of you are awake yet? For shame!
I think I appreciate the grizzly’s attempt to rob a house by getting past Sid the guard dog. Bravo to Sid, who is getting up there in dog years. The homeowners should give Sid a bearclaw collar. They can also call him ‘Grizz’ now, and Sid the Bearbarker.
There’s a man in California who knows how to get bears out of your woodpile, too. They’ll be stuffing themselves even more from now to the end of November. Keep your trash bins locked until trash pickup day. And get some bear spray.
Yeah, I’ll just bet that the bear was not very stealthy as it entered the house.
Not taking away from Sid the Guard Dogs outstanding service, but I think this one had to be easy for him.
Not awake yet? Pffffft. At 0545 I began my morning run, and pushed it to a little over a mile, as I fight this Chronic Bronchitis that I had thought, (wrongly so), had ended my running. Last year, on my birthday, I ran 1 1/4 miles. This year, (in a month), I hope to make 1 3/4 miles for my 3/4 century age.
Been discussing a phony with Jonn, laughing at the phony as he still dances around answering basic questions.
Squeeze a DD-214 down to 300 x 400 pixels and you have one very tiny document. Totally unreadable, even with photoshop enlargement.
Not awake yet, Pffffft.
Mornin’ Ma’am.
I was up at 5AM my time. The posts are always time stamped with Jonn’s time.
Weather first, feed the cats, then news, then the rest of the day.
EX, I use OO Buckshot for bear spray. The 3 inch Magnum variety.
The Bearman in Yellowstone tells us to use loud noisy sounds like banging pots and pans together and bear spray to chase away black bears, but don’t do that with grizz. Hmmm.
I’ve seen a video of a Siamese cat facing down a grizzly. I suggest a well-fed and territorial Siamese junkyard cat or possibly a large silver tabby female DSH.
Have you tried loading that shotgun with rock salt?
What, and piss him off? My gun is loaded with two rounds of OO buck and five rounds of rifled slugs. The slugs are for me if the buckshot doesn’t stop the bear. We also have Cougars, Coyotes and an occasional Wolf. I use a shotgun to kill things, not to irritate them.
Living in a home without children, I have no unloaded weapons, and keep them spread throughout the place. If someone was able to get into my yard, (deep in the property), and get past my dogs, they would be met with a “shoot first and ask questions later” attitude.
This has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with this thread, but 31 years ago today –
On August 11, 1984, just before his regular Saturday radio address, President Ronald Reagan was doing a voice test with the microphone. He thought the microphone and the feed was not live. He joked into the microphone: “My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.” The microphone was on.
We now return you to your regular programming…
Bought a T-shirt on Victory Drive that had this printed on it… finally wore it out years later.
Grimly humorous – a violent repeat offender here in Houston killed 8 (2 adults, six children, some of them his by the adult female victim) and it is already fading from the news. 8 black lives snuffed by a twisted SOB – more in twenty minutes than all the “Black Lives Matter” cases in the last year. Where is the outrage?
This is a feel-good story of an altogether different sort. An aide to oBaMa has been arrested for firing a gun at her boyfriend. She used his “service weapon” firing one round, which followed an argument, which followed a boinking session. The aide is Barvetta Singletary. Her parents should be charged with criminal child naming as well.

Heeheeheee! Good start to a good day.
Barvetta? Who in the blue-eyed world names her kid like that?
Her nickname is “Barfy”?
That’ll make ya want to toss your cookies.
So IMO would her mugshot:

Glad you warned us, Hondo!
Thanks for the heads up, but I still had to look.
Pass the mind bleach, STAT!
(Just WHO in the ever lovin’ name of the wide world of sports would want to boink that!?)
Chip’s not here, man. So I’ll do the musical link:
(Pay close attention to the line about boys only wanting love if it’s torture. This is a prime example.)
Damn, this woman seriously tests my belief that there are no ugly women.
Cripes! She looks just like Moochelle.
There are any number of reasons I use the term krewe to refer to the current Administration. “Barvetta” here is an example.
Good help isn’t particularly hard to find. You just have to select it vice use staff appointments as payback.
Bad for the victim. Perp was no longer a danger to the homeowner and shot a block away. Hum, hope he has a good Lawyer. Involuntary murder? Sucks, but the law is the law..
