Monday morning feel good stories
Slim pickin’s this morning;
A week or so ago, we wrote about Dianne Cook in Tulsa, Oklahoma who tried to retreat from two fellows who broke into her home. They cornered her in her bedroom and when they tried to enter, she fired through the door. She hit 20-year-old Anthony Telvon Crump center mass. He was taken to the hospital and then left unaccompanied by police because the hospital told the police that he was not ambulatory. Crump fooled everyone and ambulatoried his ass right out of the hospital. The police didn’t bother to tell Ms. Cook that Crump was in the wind, she found out from the media.
Since the police took her gun for evidence, Ms Cook has been able to borrow one from a neighbor in the event that Crump wants her to finish the job. Police finally got around to getting a warrant on Crump. They’ve already arrested his accomplice, Joseph Montell Warrior, 22, when Warrior went to the hospital to check on his friend a few days after the incident. Warrior also told police that him and Crump had burglarized another home recently.
Rodrigo Duterte, the President-elect of the Philippines, tells that country’s citizens that he’ll give a medal to anyone who shoots a drug dealer. He offers a bounty of 5 million pesos for a dead drug lord, but the bounty falls to 4.99 million pesos if you deliver him to police alive. “Mr Duterte invited any member of the public who encounters a drug dealer to “call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun – you have my support.” If the suspect resists, he went on, “You can kill him. Shoot him and I’ll give you a medal.””

As I have said, it is not the duty of the police to protect us. That is up to us. But, it IS their duty to follow up, arrest, and keep the criminals. To let one be alone in a hospital, allowing him to escape is not one bit different than the police standing by while leftists attack those of us on/in the right. Get a gun, learn to use it well, and protect yourself, even as they are being asked to do in the Philippines, (in this post).
So the police ph-ck up, leave the perp unguarded, took the ladies gun, the perp escapes…they are damned lucky he didn’t go back after the lady….someone needs to shoot those incompetent pricks! and yes, I am an ex cop!!
I think we should hire Rodrigo Duterte as US Attorney General…
I think it would result in a steep and terminal reduction of the current administrations voting base.
In other words, a Win-Win situation…
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Oops, hit report, Ex. My apologies, I meant to throw a simple Hooah out there.
Loaning Ms. Cook a gun to defend herself while the police hold hers is exactly what the common sense gun reforms that are being pushed by POTUS and the Democrats would make illegal.
that’s actually illegal in this state, due to the feel good regulations our one city center passed last go around
What with OK being a ‘shall issue’ state and there is no bar to ownership, I think the po-po should return Ms. Cook’s weapon to her so that she doesn’t have to borrow one from a neighbor. The pohlease in that state don’t sound too bright to me.
Amen on the dimwitted Oklahoma cops. Several years ago, in Oklahoma City, a friend was walking along the service road that parallels I-240. He was hit and killed by a drunk driver. When the car was found, and the owner was identified, he was found to have been seen 2 blocks before the crime scene, leaving a bar, irate and fast, and also seen 1 block after the crime scene, in a parking lot, inspecting the damage to his car. Because no one saw him in his car at the crime scene, no charges were brought, and a year later he again had a hit and run accident, badly injuring several family members.
Because some cops can’t be bothered to put down their donuts long enough to put 2 and 2 together.
And then we’re told not to take matters into our own hands.
Another example of why I’ve lost faith in the law enforcement/judicial systems.
Actually, it would be because of how the law was written or how the prosecutor decided to handle it.
The police don’t make the call to charge or not charge someone, they present the evidence to the prosecutor who then makes the decision.
But hey, keep trashing the cops because that easier than knowing how the system works
In bureaucracies, policy trumps common sense.
ok, that’s Putin type hardcore shit right there.
Just to bring all of you up to date on the City that Doesn’t Work Very Well Any More, i.e., Chicago, Chicago, that totterin’ town:
Gun violence statistics for 2016 compared to 2015, through June 7.
http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/shootings/
Halfway through the year already, and the rate of gun-related violence is more than half of the rate for the entire 12-months in 2015.
Yes, getting guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens has certainly done a lot to lower the rate of gun violence, hasn’t it? Shootings in my old neighborhood: that hasn’t happened like this since Al Capone’s days.
That’s just the reported violence statistics, including gun deaths. I’ll find the stats on that. The irony is that a couple of weeks ago, a city employee was shot and killed by a stray bullet as she stepped out of a Starbuck’s in Bronzeville, two blocks from a CPD station where there was a gun buyback going on.
Meanwhile, rahmbo is cranked because Madigan and Rauner (gov) can’t just get along.
Glad I moved out of the city before I retired.
First, this site really needs a like button. Second, we need to have a comparison of how many criminals are injured/killed vs innocents when the libs talk gun violence.
