Wednesday morning feel good stories
Our first story this morning happened in Birmingham, Alabama where an eight-year-old was home alone and he called his father to tell him that three men were trying to break into his house. Dad returned home and found the three guests inside while the boy hid in a closet. Dad started busting caps, and when police arrived they found Raheem Stubbs on the floor with gunshot wounds. The cops searched with K9s and couldn’t find anyone. With tips from the public, police found Jarmarcus Boris Stubbs. Raheem was declared DOT (dead over there) at the hospital and Jarmarcus was charged with his murder.
In Hickory, North Carolina, Brian Foster Eckard was going about his business as a burglar when a very rude homeowner shot him twice, once in the arm and again in the back. Eckard went to the nearest bar for treatment, they called him an ambulance and he’s been released from the hospital into the arms of local constabulary. In another story, Eckard appeared in court in a wheelchair. The homeowner said that he didn’t want to shoot Eckard, but that he had no choice. That’s why these are “feel good stories” – they’re about the best possible outcome after the criminals leave innocent civilians with no good choices.
Doug, Bobo and UpNorth send us links from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, where a thief tried to rob a man who happened to have a legal and licensed handgun. The thief was DRT (dead right there) and the victim was unharmed. The Star Tribune says that 221,000 Minnesotans have concealed carry licenses.

“These are “feel good stories” – they’re about the best possible outcome after the criminals leave innocent civilians with no good choices.” And that is why we cannot feel safe in a “Gun Free Zone”.
Raheem. . . . Jarjar, I mean Jarmarcus. . . just from these two upright, upstanding citizen’s names, let me take a SWAG at their pigmentation.
You just need to look at the deceased’s Facebook page to learn all you need to.
Dear parents,
Do you love your kids? Then allow me to present two simple and helpful tips that will make life better for them.
1. Stay involved in their lives to the point where they don’t hang out with the wrong kind of people.
2. Stop giving them exotic names.
THIS!
I will say that if you must take aim at someone who is vacating your premises after committing or attempting to commit a criminal act, aim so that you give him a permanent reminder of what he did, every time he sits down on anything.
Even better if he has to carry one of those donut cushions around to public place. Or a colostomy bag.
