Sunday morning feel good stories

In Thibodaux, Louisiana, a homeowner caught 45-year-old Dale Harris Jr. climbing into his shed. It seems that the homeowner had lost about a thousand bucks worth of fishing equipment the night before, so he busted a cap in Harris’ leg and held him at gun point until the police arrived to cart the thief away.

In Palmetto, Florida, Jonathan Friedman saw a man running from the scene next door when police arrived to investigate a burglary there. So, Friedman, grabbed his .357 Magnum and waited for the criminal to arrive. It didn’t take long for 28-year-old Michael Nelson to force his way into Friedman’s mobile home where he was confronted by the muzzle-end of the firearm as Friedman explained how he would have no problem ventilating Nelson. Nelson believed Friedman and calmly surrendered until police arrived.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, 29-year-old Alberto Rodriguez-Macias conveniently shot himself in the abdomen with pistol he had in his waistband when police began chasing him while he burglarizing cars.

In Natchez, Mississippi, an armed, masked man tried to rob a barbershop, until the owner came out of the back room and fired a single shot at the robber. No one knows if the thief was struck by the bullet because he un-assed the AO so quickly.

In Orangeburg, South Carolina, a homeowner’s son, though he who lived nearby, noticed that his parents’ door was wide open even thought they weren’t home. He grabbed his shotgun and encountered the intruder who immediately un-assed the AO. The son followed him to his car and confronted him again. The thief fired off a couple of rounds and the responded in kind, all of the lead missing their targets. The thief’s image was caught on their security cameras, so they shared it on Facebook. Antonio Atroy Murphy, the thief, got tired of seeing his face on Facebook and turned himself in to the police.

If you can’t have a gun, you should get a dog – that’s the lesson we get from this New Orleans, Louisiana story where the family pit bull took a bullet for his owner when an invader caught her home alone, except for the small pit bull. When the intruder tried to force his way in the home, the dog raised a ruckus which allowed the woman to shut the door, but not before her dog took a round in the shoulder for her. Despite his injury, Mickey stayed by her side while she waited for police. She says that Mickey is back to being his playful self after a trip to the vet’s. Good dog!
