Saturday morning feel good stories
Top Kone sends us our first story this morning from Louisville, Kentucky where two men tried to force their way into a house. Two adults were home and heard the ruckus – the brother took off after the pair of thieves, shooting one of them in the leg. Police are still looking for the other one.
Three armed men forced their way into a home in Mount Airy, Ohio, they were greeted with gunfire from the homeowner who was also wounded. Two of the thieves unassed the AO, the third one was wounded too badly to leave – he was DOT (dead over there) at the hospital. The homeowner has life-threatening injuries.
A bicycle thief in Corpus Christi, Texas lucked out when his victim only shot him with a pellet gun for his crime. Don’t read the linked story if you can’t adapt your mind to the difference between “suspect” and “victim”.
Devon Montgomery, 24 stole some golf clubs in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As he was attempting to sell the clubs, the owner of the sports equipment caught up to him. the owner was a retired fire marshall from another area. He forced the thief to the ground and threatened to kill the criminal until he began to comply. Police took the criminal into custody, but witnesses who filmed the incident said that the victim was real mean to the thief and they think he should be arrested for being a big meanie.
A 7-11 clerk in Frederick, Maryland was confronted by a masked gunman. When the crook stuck the barrel of a shotgun in his face, the clerk grabbed the barrel and took the weapon from the crook who un-assed the AO. Fortunately, the gun wasn’t loaded.

When bad guys enter your life, your first, best, weapon is your situational awareness. Having a firearm is important, but first know where you are, where the problem is, and how to put something between you and the problem. Lead is a good thing to place between you, only as long as it is traveling from you to the bad guy. Getting wounded, even superficially, is not pleasant. Be careful, and do what is needed to protect that which is yours.
Just in case you didn’t get the warped perspective of the reporter and who he thinks is the victim in this theft in Corpus Christi the reporter works “victim” into almost every paragraph.
If you are engaged in a crime and get shot you are not the victim. You are a suspect that got shot.
Yeah, I tried to comment on the link, but it required for me to register and I said screw it. I lived in Corpus Christi for a short time during the 80’s and there were fewer Socialists then.
I’ve noticed how the Texas accent seems to be disappearing, too, right along with common sense and a correct use of vocabulary. It’s the reason I don’t go to Texas.
Perhaps some day, those furriners will be assimmilated.
