Sunday morning feel good stories
Xavier Radhames Delacruz, in Tampa, Florida is looking at felony murder charges after his friend, Terrance Roach was killed in a home invasion. Roach forced a lone woman into her home where her friend was waiting for her. Her friend got into an altercation with Roach. They scuffled and Roach lost control of his gun. The woman’s friend tried to pistol whip Roach but the weapon discharged and Roach was DRT (dead right there) from a gun shot wound to his noggin. Roach had a cell phone that belonged to Delacruz who was texting directions to Roach.
In Maumelle, Arkansas, two masked thieves entered a convenience store manned by Daniel Martin. Daniel gave up the money from the register, but the thieves wanted more. Martin was so cooperative that the gunman lowered his gun, that’s when Daniel took control of the weapon. He ran towards the door and slipped, letting loose one round. He took aim for the second shot, but the gun misfired and the thieves lit out unharmed.
Hondo sends us a link from Morgan County, Indiana where a 66-year-old woman got in an altercation with a burglar who was bold enough to try and rob her in broad daylight. She rolled around on the floor with him for a while until she finally decided to bring her gun into play – apparently, just the sound of her working the action of the gun was enough to send him on his way.

” texting directions to Roach.”. That is just plain dumb, but then these wannabe gangsters aren’t known for their skills. It is pretty hard to undo a text when it is on a phone that is laying under a dead body.
Damned Ghettonesians in the Tampa Bay area anyway.
Re: that lady in Indiana: don’t roll around on the floor with the perp. Get the frying pan or a sauce pan and smack him with it.
OK, today’s “armed citizen batting line”. Five total perps; 1 DRT, another in custody and facing felony murder charges; and only one partially successful crime.
That’s 2 for 3 with 1 HR and another extra-base hit, plus a pair of walks. Not too shabby.
Hope the lady in Indiana recovers quickly from her bruises.
Totally unrelated to any of the incidents above, but to further illustrate just how dumb these crooks are, how about this turd that Gooooogled “How to rob a bank” before making his failed plan?

I just can’t help thinking that the link he clicked on was provided by the FBI.
I’m tempted to try that, just to see the results of such a search…..
That Tampa Bay story has a real goatrope feel to it, all the way around. Good luck sorting that one out, Hillsborough. Holee shit….
I don’t know about the rest of you but the fact that the accomplice gets charged with murder when his fellow scum sucker gets Darwinized warms my heart more than a room full of swimsuit models.
Yep. Felony murder laws can be a beyotch – especially for ignorant and unsuspecting accomplices who find out about them when they get charged.
I love it when the accomplices admit to participating in the felony, in an attempt to minimize their culpability. “I was there, but only for the robbery. I didn’t know that KK was going to shoot all of those people”.
The shocked looks on their faces when the cuffs go on and the felony murder statute is explained to them is priceless. Most especially when the dead guy is one of their own. In their haste to skate on the charges, they usually give up all of their co-conspirators.
re: The Morgan County story, I hope she now carries/stores her gun fully loaded.
