Sunday morning feel good stories
First up this morning is Chattanooga, Tennessee, where a guy was walking with a girl when an armed thief jumped out of the bushes and demanded his property. The intended victim instead pulled out his own gun and the thief was declared DRT (dead right there) by the police when they arrived on the scene. An update to the story says that intended victim had met the girl on Craigslist and the police suspect that she was working with deceased fellow in a robbery scheme.
In Los Angeles, California, three men attempted to rob a taco stand, but the employees were having no part of it. One of the employees was armed and shot the thief who was brandishing a handgun. The other two beat their feet on the pavement, but the wounded fellow was DOT (dead over there) at the hospital.
There’s a story from Las Vegas, Nevada that has very few details. They only say that someone was shot at an apartment complex and that he was the suspect and that he was DOT (dead over there) at the hospital. The updated version says that an armed fellow forced his way into an apartment and the residents defended themselves, one of the residents was wounded in the encounter, but the intruder was shot dead.
In Spanaway, Washington, two criminals attempted to rob a convenience store. The clerk, shot one of the thieves and he was DRT (dead right there) when the police arrived. It sounds from the story that the clerk was the husband of Seul Lim, the convenience store clerk who got into a gun battle with a thief last month in the same store.

4 attempts at criminal activity and 4 criminals DEAD. This vocation requires a special kind of stupid to participate in.
one, two, three, four.
Shoot some criminals and kill some more.
Maybe we should outlaw criminals instead of guns.
Oh, wait…
@Mr Chattanooga – a “girlfriend” from craigslist turns out to be suspicious? Who knew? One piece of advice from an “old guy”. Go to Church and meet a nice girl. It worked for me.
Met a girl on a blind date at church in Kingsville, Texas in 1970 and she has been my wife for going on 44 years.
Met my wife over the CB radio. Talked her into buying me breakfast and coffee at Denny’s at O Dark Thirty.
That was 38 years ago.
Met mine at a church group. Forty-two years this year. Best decision I ever made, going to that church group.
Or maybe second best; best was asking her to marry me. [Gotta protect my butt. 8-)]
Mine never quit feeding me every time I followed her home like a stray dog and before she knew it she was stuck with me!
I met my wife of 39 years (this month) in an elevator.
Please don’t tell us it happens something like this Aerosmith video…
(chuckling) Thought about the same tune when I read Jonn’s comment, but decided against posting the video.
Met mine in the same class at Monterey… 37 1/2 years married and with any luck, the probationary period should end soon.
I’m still running solo and intend to keep it that way. If I need a hug, Papozz is always ready to give me lots.
To the Chattanooga fellow, finding a girl on Craigslist is like getting a car through a free Auto Trader magazine. Next time remember the motto, “Shoot the perp, shoot the girl, take the cannoles”.
I’m sure “ooh honey, let’s go for a walk over there where it’s quiet and secluded” sounded pretty good to him, but I’ll bet that he started to catch a clue after he shot the guy and she began to scream bloody murder.
Met my wife when my shipmates girlfriend drug her along for messdeck dinner and a movie on my duty day. Married 41 years next month. Good times.
I have you guys beat…met my wife in High School, been married 55 years…!
Hot damn !!! Lots of great Easter Sunday news today.
Evidently they were attempting to try out the same thing that someone, who shall remain unnamed, rising from the dead, right there and over there…
I guess they didn’t have the right kind of lifestyle to support that contingency…
Makes one wonder why they would attempt something that stupid…
*WHOOOOOT!* 4 for four on “D’s”, HAPPY EASTER!!
Met my wife in a smoke filled bar 3l years ago- most wonderful woman there is. Good women in bars-BUT ya gotta be selective and fortunate.
Like the man said – “most men pick their wives in light they would never choose a suit..and a suit only lasts a few years.”
Bad guys wanting the property of others.
Be careful what you ask for – bullets are property too….
Congratulations to all. I was told “when you meet your soulmate you’ll know”. Papa did say you have to look, but I hate picking up rocks …
