Monday morning feel good stories
Hondo sends us a link from Cedar Falls, Iowa where Adam Scott Jacobsen had stabbed fellow tenant Jeffrey Miller 24 times and apartment manager Denice Bennett eight times. Daniel Williams appeared on the scene with his gun and ordered Jacobsen to the ground. The assailant complied and a good guy with a gun stopped further blood shed. There are questions about Jacobsen’s competency since he claims that God told him to kill the demons around him. The article says that he was charged with attempted murder, so I have to guess that his victims survived the attack.
A homeowner in Sydney, Australia encountered a fellow who stole some of his property and confronted him with a bow and a quiver of arrows. When the thief tried to escape, the 68-year-old homeowner shot him right square in the buttocks with the weapon. The thief still escaped, but he should be easy to find.
In case you missed the stories from the weekend;
In Elk Grove, California, a homeowner discharged his shotgun at a thief he found in his garage. That fellow escaped but his backup, two others in a car outside, were arrested by police.
In Las Cruces, New Mexico, Diego Vallejo and two of his friends forced their way into a home. Diego was wounded in the leg by the homeowner. That was late last month. He’s been released from the hospital where he’s now facing one count each of aggravated burglary, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, conspiracy and criminal damage to property and $50,000 cash-only bond.
Louise Jones, a septuagenarian in Middleton, Ohio pistol-whipped an intruder as he tried to get into her home because she didn’t want to shoot him. No arrests have been made.
Another car owner in St Louis, Missouri shot a thief who stole his car. The thief subsequently drove away and then crashed the car down the street. Police found him in the driver’s seat and he was DRT (dead right there). We talked about a 73-year-old resident of St Louis who shot and killed two car thieves earlier this week.
A homeowner in Salem, Oregon shot an intruder who is being treated for his non-life-threatening injuries.
An 82-year-old homeowner in Uniontown, Pennsylvania kept an unused gun on his nightstand for more than thirty years until an intruder broke in and engaged him in a physical altercation. The octogenarian finally grabbed the weapon and shot 40-year-old Franklin Schrout, of Morgantown, West Virginia, who ran outside where he expired DOT (dead over there). The homeowner suffered only superficial injuries.
In Tolleson, Arizona, a resident walked in on two burglars in his home. He fired at the pair, striking a fifteen-year-old in the back. I guess he’s being treated at the hospital after which he’ll start his new life as a perpetrator.
Derick Sarra, 20, and Joel Matias, 23 were both shot by a grocer last year when they broke into his home in Hartford, Connecticut. Matia’s lawyer had the gall to ask the judge for leniancy because Matia’s wounds took away his ability to walk, so the judge sentenced Sarra to 11 years and five months in prison and Matias to 11 years and three months.

If you don’t want to shoot then get a bat. Pistol whipping is so old skool.
I followed the link to the story from Australia to see if there was any mention of what kind of arrow was fired that would let the per get away. As I suspected the homeowner was firing a target arrow which has a tip just slightly larger than the shaft. Don’t know if they have regular hunting tips which would have properly stopped the perp.
The car thief in Australia should be easy to track down. Just check the nearest Baskin-Robbins.
Cause everybody knows (insert Forrest Gump voice here) the best part about being shot square in the buttocks is the ice cream.
“Ice Cream, Lieutenant Dan, Ice Cream”
If I recall the Crocodile Dundee movies correctly, the Aussie equivalent of Forrest Gump is taller, much larger – and goes by the name “Donk”. (smile)
From what I understand about Australian laws [I’m NOT 100% positive tho!] the bow and arrow butt shooter is going to be in trouble with the law, MORE so than the thief POS he shot in da azz !
