Thursday morning feel good stories
Ricky Jones broke into a couples’ home in Paris, Texas the other day. The residents awoke to sound of water running and things went downhill quickly from there for Ricky. Behold the mugshot;
Jon the Mechanic sends us a story abut how hard karma was working in Charlotte, North Carolina when a shoplifter bolted from a convenience store with his ill-gotten booty straight into the path of an oncoming vehicle. He earned himself a broken leg and a police escort to the hospital.
In Bakersfield, California, two thieves tried to rob a clerk in a convenience store at gun point. The clerk, however, had his own gun and fired first. Apparently, no one was injured, but the criminals left the store at a rather high rate of speed.

Not DOTs of DRTs, but no good guys hurt and a couple of goblins out of the field of play for a bit.
I did laugh at Karma playing its had in the unforced error in Charlotte too.
I prefer to think of the Charlotte incident as proof that there is a God – and He has a sense of humor. (smile)
I also love the mugshot from the Texas incident.
He was hit on while crossing west MLK Blvd.
Well, MLK was a man of the cloth (albeit not free from sin). Given that, Divine Retribution for wrongdoing occurring on MLK Blvd would seem quite apropos.
My previous comment applies. (smile)
Getting beaten severely about the head and shoulders is not much of a reward for a bad break-in. Nor is getting a broken leg because one didn’t stop and look both ways before running out of a convenience store with shoplifted goods. If you are gonna do stupid things, you gotta be tough.
How is it those old quips/songs go?
Ah, Yes, only to be in Paris in the Spring
and
How ya gonna keep em down on the farm once they’ve seen Gay Paree?
I guess the running water came from Ricky trying to wash up after pulling his shift behind the dumpster at the truck stop.
Dumbasses, all of them.
Addlepated crooks! I’m sure Ricky Jones just wanted a glass of water, right?
And that fellow who got bumped by a vehicle…
Well, Mercury IS retrograde, y’know. Do stupid things, win stupid prizes.
Harry: What’s so funny? What are you laughing at? You did it again didn’t you? You left the water running. What’s wrong with you? Why do you do that? I told you not to do it.
Marv: Harry, it’s our calling card!
Harry: Calling card.
Marv: All the great ones leave their mark. We’re the wet bandits!
Bubba: So, what you in for, newbie?
Newbie: Robbery.
Thor: Police roughed you up pretty good, eh? Resisting arrest?
Newbie: No. Homeowner beat the hell out of me and held me until police arrived.
Bubba, Thor: (look at each other, then begin to grin broadly)
Yep, that poor, poor Paris crook. We tried to detain him, but he kept trying to run away, and just kept running into the door frame. . . repeatedly.
Amateurs.
It looks like the perp in the first story was the victim of the accident in the second story. The first thing I thought when viewing the mug shot was “that guy looks like he was hit by a car”.
And to the clerk in the last story, more range time!
