Thursday morning feel good stories
In St Louis, Missouri, a fellow, after threatening an ex-girlfriend over the phone, went to her home to cash in on the sweet, sweet lovin’ his threats would inspire, was met at the door by the new boyfriend. When the old boyfriend made a gesture like he was reaching for a gun behind his back, the new boyfriend rung his bell and Old Boyfriend was DRT.
In San Antonio, Texas, a private security guard saw a youngster innocently breaking into cars. When the youngster hopped in one of the cars and tried to use the vehicle as a weapon against the guard, the guard shot the fellow. He was DRT.
In Carter County, Kentucky, 75-year-old Robert Hamm was taking a mid-morning nap when he awoke to the sounds of someone rummaging through his stuff. He found Larry Lee Thompson, who Hamm had known since Thompson was born, loaded down with Hamm’s tools. Hamm brought his rifle to bear on the youngster and made him lay on the floor until police arrived. The article quotes Hamm; “I wanted to shoot him really bad,” Hamm said. “I really wanted to shoot him.” But then he didn’t need to shoot him, so…..

Two DRT’s and a badass senior citizen…’tis a great morning!
Aaaahhhhh yessss…..
Coffee and DRT stories, great morning here in the Great State of Texas !!!
DRTs (or DOTs) keep the recidivism rate down.
Three cheers for Mr. Hamm for using some self restraint. That right there is the ultimate definition of stress. I L. L. Thompson appreciates Mr. Hamm for thinking twice.
Aahhh, two DRT’s and KUDOS to the elder Gentleman for his discipline and restraint as well!
Threateneing someone really shows how much you want to be nice to them? I tis a good thing that she had her new guy at hand to send the dope to the promised land.
And, choosing to use a car to escalate the charges against you is pure idiocy, especially against an armed defender.
The75 shows that ol’ dudes can, in the right circumstance, show restraint. Good for him, but I would wager that the safety was off and his finger was very near the trigger guard, in case the need arose.
Love that “I wanted to shoot him real bad” line. Without the need to shoot the little bastard but with no one to contradict his justification if he had, I guess Mr Hamm wanted to live with himself real badder after the event. The little bastard should be very grateful.
Add two more to bloomberg’s “gun victim” violence list.
Hmm… that older gentleman with the shotgun sounds like one hot tamale to me. I would not mind meeting him for a drink.
It would have been too too easy for Mr Hamm to say, “He made a threatening move toward me. I feared for my life.”
Too bad. It would have been nice to have another DRT to today’s collection.
