Sunday morning feel good stories
In Ironton, Ohio, a burglar is in jail after being shot in the leg by a homeowner.
In Negaunee Township, Michigan, a man, suspected to be the reincarnation of Benny Hill or maybe the Three Stooges, tried to force his way into home. When the homeowner confronted him, he ran away – police K9s found him unconscious nearby when he knocked himself out by running into a tree.
In San Antonio, Texas, beer thieves, 18-year-old Shawn Sorola and 17-year-old Kathleen Mendiola, stabbed to death a 19-year-old who tried to stop them. A bystander with a Concealed Weapon Permit stopped the fight, but not soon enough. When police arrived, the 19-year-old was taken to the hospital where he died. Sorola and Mediola were arrested and Sorola was treated for his injuries from the fight.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, a homeowner fired shots to fend off a number of intruders. Police hauled off one injured person with life-threatening injuries, but it wasn’t certain whether that person was a thief or one of the victims.

Whether in your home, at a movie, or just down at the local convenience store, there could be a situation needing you to protect yourself, or someone else, or your goods. Odds are that the police will be to far away to do anything but take a report after the event. Owning, and being able to accurately use a firearm could save your life or the life of someone else.
How do we get more thieves to knock themselves out running into trees?
I recall the trees in the area around the gas chamber were painted bright yellow from the grown to about 5 feet up so any spazoids running out of the gas chamber would not run into the tree and knock themselves out. We need to enforce this policy nationwide, and if not, some reputable disbarred attorney in Ft. Myers FL should start filing class action lawsuits.
In the Army, I’m pretty sure that it was in the regs that a big tree was mandated to be 5-10 steps from the chamber exit. I ran a lot of chambers and every one met this criteria, but we didn’t paint them. As you were instructed to walk, not run, when exiting the chamber, if you smacked into one while running we just chalked it up to being counseled by SGT Oak on your failure to follow orders….
We had a wiseass in boot camp that got his at the gas chamber. Every time he came out of the chamber, the Drill Instructors put him back in line. He went through seven times. The dude looked like Bowser from Sha Na Na.
Michigan story … an assault tree?

Spazoid lives matter.
It appears that the deceased 19-year-old in the San Antonio story was one of the robbers. So, a truly feel good story! I expect that his two accomplices will be charged with his death.

Yep. Pretty sure Texas in fact has a felony murder statute. If so, the two surviving perps could well be in well-deserved deep sh!t.
Hello,
Today, I found this news story about “A World War II pilot from Queens [who] has died.” “Tuskegee Airman Audley Coulthurst was part of the first all-black military aviators in the armed forces.”
http://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2016/10/29/tuskegee-airman-and-queens-native-audley-coulthurst-dies-at-age-91.html
The news story is confusing because first the reporters says Mr. Coulthurst was a “World War II” pilot then he says he was “also a mechanic gunner who maintained and repaired machine guns” and he “he never actually saw combat.”
In a 2015 news story, Mr. Coulthurst stated ““I was a flight crew member, and I was flying four hours every single day.”

Tuskegee University’s Tuskegee Airmen Pilot Listing does not list Mr. Coulthurst as graduating from pilot training.

Ancestry.com US Army World War II Enlistment Records 1938-1946 does not show Mr, Coulthurst enlisting.
This is one of those news stories that makes me wonder.
It’s better if you email me this stuff so that I see it.
I recommend you get your facts straight before writing a story. The Texas story you wrote didn’t even make sense.
Care to enlighten us?
It made sense, but when you read the second article linked above it appears that the 19 year old who died wasn’t fighting off the robbers, he was one of them. Three of them tried to steal beer from a convenience store and the clerks confronted them. A knife was pulled and two of the robbers got cut. One of them were left behind and died from their wounds in an area hospital.
