Friday morning feel good stories
Bobo sends a link to a story in Atlanta, Georgia where the driver of a black Hummer was involved in about eight hit-and-run incidents. That driver tried to car-jack another driver who shot the Hummer driver. He was taken to the hospital.
In Wolf Creek, Montana, two burglars were arrested after one was wounded by the homeowner in a gun fight.
A teenaged burglar was rewarded with a gunshot shoulder in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma during the commission of his crime when he wouldn’t cooperate with the homeowner’s son.
Police in Birmingham, Alabama are looking for the fellow who saw someone stealing his car while he was in a convenience store.

6 incidents, 4 thugs wounded, one dead, and one ex-boyfriend beat severely about the face with a stick of firewood. Life is good for the good people.
Well, kudos to the young lady who knows how to use common household objects for self defense!!!
I also recommend keeping a cast iron skillet on top of the stove at all times.
She may have been afraid of cracking the cast iron over his hard noggin.
Looks like the stick of firewood was shaped like either Mick Foley’s or Hacksaw Jim Reynolds’ “Mr. Two by Four.”
Good Job!
Oops, there I go again. Trying to work from memory with low caffeine input.
I meant Hacksaw Jim Duggan, not Jack “Hacksaw” Reynolds.
Reynolds was a Linebacker for the Krapernicks back in the day.
Mea Culpa. CRS rears it’s ugly head again.
It’s ok Claw , there’s still some of us Wrasslin. Fans who knew what you meant.. As a kid growing up in Columbus I used to watch those guys every chance I got at the old municipal Auditorium.
Sounds like people (especially in Alabama) are starting to take the Four Esses seriously.
Suppress
Shoot
Shovel
Silence
The auto owner got two of the four right anyway.
Now here is the question I have about the piece of firewood.
Was it oak, maple, or was it some other type of wood?
The guy in Birmingham may have been afraid of what the police would find in his car – or about him – when they showed up.
One of those where I go “Hmmmmm – just how ‘innocent’ is this guy?”
But I love the face of the ex-boyfriend. And don’tcha just love the fact that his mug is now plastered all over the interwebz for all to see how his ex-girlfriend managed to take his macho self down with just a chunk of firewood? That ought to play well with his peeps when he starts to strut about his manhood…
The story mentions “a man inside” striking Bergstedt with the firewood. Apparently, the woman upgraded as far as “boyfriend combat rating”…
One report I read was he tried to kick in his ex’s door, moved to someone else’s door and the guy there busted him.
Reporters… y’never know.

Matthew Lawrence Bergstedt got an Etai laid on his ass didnt he ?
“How’d you get here?”
“My girlfriend hit me in the face with a piece of wood.”
“So, she beat your face with her wood? Boy, you are gonna be -so- popular….”
