Tuesday morning feel good stories
In Severn, Maryland, two men who had tried to burglarize a home met with their just rewards dealt by the homeowner. Both tried to flee after they were shot, but they were DOT (dead over there), one in the car he tried escape in, the other in a yard nearby. The shooter is in custody (it is Maryland after all) while the prosecutor investigates, but the police think that it was a case of self-defense.
Michael York, 51, and Alan Span, 43 approached a homeowner in South Elgin, Illinois from behind while he was headed home. One of them struck the victim in the face The victim then grabbed their gun and fired at them with it, striking Span in the leg. Both fled, but are currently in police custody.
In El Cajon, California, an 8-year-old girl put some ninja moves on an intruder she found in her bedroom one night and chased the nutless wonder off.
A fellow in San Antonio, Texas, a thief forced his way into a home and demanded at gun point the occupants’ property. A fight ensued in which, one of the occupants was wounded in the leg. The other resident pulled his own gun and began blasting at the thief who un-assed the AO, leaving his gun behind. The police found him at the hospital getting his new orifices treated.

WTOP reports that the homeowner is facing charges for drug possession, among other things. No honor among thieves, or drug dealers.

“A homeowner told officers that the men were trying to break down his front door when he fired through the door with a shotgun”
00 buck. Does the body good!!
At least we got two home runs!
Yeah….the batting average seems to be improving and with what’s going on in this country now – – your average better be good!
Yeah, that’s not the actor Michael York (Three Musketeers, Logan’s Run, Austin Powers, etc.) going bad & mugging decent folks. ;0)
Maryland doing a poor job gun grabbing from it’s citizens…creating a hazardous work environment for hard working criminals.
According to Hack’s link, the “victim” in Maryland took Joe Biden’s advice and let loose with a shotgun through his front door. Wilted Willie: This may be a Reggie Jackson–three home runs in one game: two dead and a third in prison for drugs.
Now THAT’S gonna make scoring the “batting line” for this one difficult . . . .
If you are going to shoot two guys who try to steal you drug stash and drug money, you would be advised to put your stash away before the cops come to haul off the bodies.
Problem with that, FC, is that it’s the People’s Republic of MD. I’d guess local LE probably got a warrant to search his place for “evidence” because a gun was involved in the incident (or might not have needed one, since the place was a possible crime scene).
Plus, from the description in Hack’s article he had quite a stash. Only way he’d have been able to hide it in time would be to flush it, costing himself mucho dinero in the process. And even that might not have been enough if he missed something or left sufficient residue behind for a forensic team to figure out what had been going on.
I keep noticing a lot of violence and death associated with drugs. We should just outlaw them.
Good thought, GDC. I don’t think that’s enough, though. Perhaps there should be a declaration of war on drugs, too.
Maybe even a Constitutional Amendment!
