Thursday morning feel good stories
Rick sends us a link to a story that happened in New Bern, North Carolina where two burglars were wounded when they tried to force their way into a home. 19-year-old Tyriq Scott is in serious condition while Roy Nolon, 18 was treated and released to police custody.
In New Orleans, Lousiana, an intruder who we talked about being shot during a burglary back in February, was found in a twelve-year-old girl’s bedroom. She screamed and Dad chased him outside and “subdued” him. He continued to “subdue” the youngster until the police arrived. The police recognized him from their encounter the previous month and the other three times he’s been arrested for burglary. Apparently, he only stays in the juvenile facility for a few days and then goes out and tries to apply the lessons learned on a new target. Duffer’s Drift of the burglar world.
A homeowner in Savannah, Georgia, met armed intruders at the door of his house and frightened them away with his own gun without firing a shot.
A homeowner heard someone fooling around outside his mobile home in Mesa, Arizona. When he went to check on it, he found a fellow trying to set fire to the home. Then the firebug sprayed flammable liquid on the homeowner and tried to set him on fire. The homeowner shot him in the arm and the criminal un-assed the AO, but police found him in the nearby woods and the wife put the fire out with a garden hose.
In Las Vegas, Nevada, Lacy Howard, 44 was shot by a resident of an apartment into which he had forced his way. Howard got off a round and wounded someone slightly, but Lacy himself was DRT (dead right there) when the police arrived on the scene.

I’m hoping the guy in New Orleans needs a few days hospitalization as the result of being “subdued”. And I’m hoping that the fact he appears to be a perv who got caught in a 12 y/o girl’s room precedes him to jail.
Now, today’s “armed citizen batting line”.
Today, we had 7 total perps (I’m assuming two for the Savannah incident). Only 1 crime was partially successful (wounding of a non-perp, non-life-threatening). Let’s call that one a sacrifice w/RBI.
So today, the batting line reads 4 for 4 with 1 HR (DRT/DOT), 3 extra base hits (wounded perp in custody), two walks (crimes prevented, but perp in the wind), and 1 SF w/RBI.
Not too shabby. Most major league players would take that any day.
Agreed, but I do wish it was all homers. These POS’s aren’t going away, they need to be put down.
Time for a Home Run Derby???
I’m all in for Ted Kluszewski to win it!

I’d bet you that all of the perps were/are “pillars of their communities”…
Or, more likely, “Pillagers of their Community”.
Walks. I love it!
