Friday morning feel good stories

| March 11, 2016

AW1Ed sends us a link to a story in Cinncinati, Ohio, where a victim defended himself from a robbery on the street. The thief, James Mixon, was DRT (dead right there) when the police arrived on the scene.

3E9 sends us a link from Vicksburg, Mississippi, where Rafael McCloud, a capital murder suspect escaped from jail and forced his way into a home. He tied up the man and wife who lived there and stabbed the man. The homeowner escaped his bonds, got his wife free and they both opened fire on McCloud who was DRT (dead right there) when the police arrived, ending McCloud’s last eight days of freedom. The homeowner was treated for minor injuries.

In Jacksonville, Florida, Joshua Curry arrived at work late, but just in time for a co-worker to shoot another co-worker. Curry got his legal gun from his car and held the shooter at gun point until the police arrived, probably ending a mass shooting situation. A good guy with a gun at the right place at the right time. I don’t expect that I’ll read about that one in the national media.

In Midwest City, Oklahoma, an eighteen-year-old woman had a protective order against her 20-year-old ex-boyfriend. I guess he thought it was an invitation, so he broke into her apartment while he was armed and forced himself on her. She was pretty certain of the reason she had filed the protective order, so she shot him. He was DRT (dead right there) when the police arrived to enforce the new order. In an update to the story, it seems that the girlfriend had filed a protective order last year when he tried to assault and kidnap her with a handgun. The order was dismissed when neither showed up for the hearing, and then she recanted her story to the police and charges were dropped. And then she had to kill him.

An update to the story the other day from Torrance, California where a jeweler killed a fellow who tried to rob his store – the dead fellow was Keon Bailey and it turns out that he was a person of interest in the murder of Louis Giuntini, 95, and Rose Giuntini, 92 in February, 11 days after he was released on parole from prison for burglary, possession of stolen property, rape, grand theft, trespassing and sexual battery. So now he’s gone on to his Great Reward.

Tim sends us a link to the story in Glendale, Arizona, a teenager was forced to arm himself when a pair of thieves forced their way into his home when he was alone. He pointed a gun at the two and they ran away.

Kinda old ET1

4 DRT, 1 cooling his heels and 1 needing new drawers…

I’d call that a good day.

Just a couple of comments on the Midwest City, OK DGU:

“The woman filed a victim’s protective order against her ex for allegedly trying to kidnap and assault her with a handgun back in January of last year.
The protective order was dismissed in August of 2015 when both parties didn’t show up to court.”

8 months to adjudicate a protective order, that’s about as worthless as the paper it would have been printed on.

“Police said this is the fourth case in Midwest City falling under the criteria of the ‘Make My Day’ law.

“It allows you to protect yourself when you’re in your home from a violent act,” Clabes said”

Thank you Big Government for “allowing” your citizens to protect themselves. I remember from High School Civics, that God grants rights to us, and the duty of the government was to recognize these rights, and thus cannot take away what it cannot grant. They must not teach that anymore…..

Of course they don’t teach it. After all, we can’t have kids hearing the dreaded “G” word and they can’t go around thinking that the government doesn’t provide them rights.

Glad you caught that “allow” in the last paragraph. It’s all about manipulating the language and normalizing the idea that all our rights come from government and government alone “allows” us to exercise them or can prohibit them if they choose. This is directly opposite of what the Founding Fathers not only wrote into our Constitution however is the progressives view of our governments role in our lives.
The right to self defense is a God given right inherent in all men. Government has no role in “allowing” it or taking it away.

I like that: “Make My Day”.
I’ll have to try and remember that.

Was a story in the Houston paper (didn’t make it online) about a loser who tried carjacking a woman who hit an pepper sprayed him… went on to carjack two other cars, finally arrested after he was chased down by the cops. Sore eyes and a multitude of felony charges…

To the kid in Arizona – treat it like a video game.
First point.
