Thursday morning feel good stories
A pregnant woman in Phoenix, Arizona heard someone breaking through a window to get to her and her child. She fired her gun at the thief, but it looks like she missed the target, but won the war when he stopped coming in her home.
In Little Rock, Arkansas, a thief, Isaac Dale III, 31, drove himself to the hospital after being shot by a homeowner during the commission of a crime.
In Holmes County, Florida police are looking for another criminal who scurried off into the darkness after a homeowner fired at him.
Justin Casson, 32 was shot center-mass when he tried to break into a Ragland, Alabama home by Jerry Casson, 75. Justin was taken to the hospital by emergency services.
From Hack Stone and Wilted Willy; An auto thief tried to carjack a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority utility vehicle in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania until he was shot in the leg by a licensed bystander.
Also in Philly, a man licensed to carry a weapon concealed was leaving a Chinese takeout restaurant. He shot and wounded a man who tried to rob him as he left the business. The crook is in the hospital. The victim actually tried to leave the scene and avoid a confrontation, but the criminal chased him, forcing the victim to defend himself.
Dave Hardin sends the story of Jeremy Elmore, a retired soldier in El Paso, Texas, which Dave sent as an example of a fake news story. I misunderstood his intent.

Holy Cow! I love my Texas. Thugs got their ass truly smiled by a real sniper and they weren’t even deployed to a combat zone. Too freaking beautiful! Maximum level self defense and second amendment all rolled into one crazy situation.
Sniped. Not smiled. Good grief way to screw up being first….
That’s what you get for being an old Manchu… Like me…
“Keep up the fire” !!!
Ain’t that a great story !!!
True proof that there is such a thing as a Guardian Angel !!!
Heh…I like a neighbor willing to help out the community….this takes neighborhood watch to a while new level.
We need a few snipers in our neighborhood.
Well done Mr Elmore.
7 incidents, 9 bad guys. Relatively poor shooting, (Missing or slightly wounding is not the best way to stop these people from pursuing their life of crime.), from all but the retired soldier, who realizes the value of accuracy, and the range time required to maintain the ability to be accurate. Final score is 2 Dead where they fell, 5 wounded and able to get back to thugging for a living when they heal, and 2 clean misses. Get to know your weapon people. It is your friend.
I may have to wave the BS flag on the neighbor sniper story. I think this is the same website that ran the article recently about protesters on a highway up in the Northwest (Seattle maybe?) being run over by a truck driver.
Wave that BS flag high, Hack. The Elmore story has already been called out as a fake news hoax.
The Seattle Times is a news web satire site.
Oops, that would be the Seattle Tribune, not Times.
Mea Culpa.
Hold on, so the guy was cleaning his official Army Sniper System riffle (sic) and adjusts the scope which I was unaware you had to remove to clean a rifle, by waving it out the window and pointing it at things? At 0200??? lucky a cop didn’t happen by and see him randomly picking out targets from a window at 0200
No One picked up on the fakeness of this? How many guys happen to have a supply of ‘custom 7.63 x 51″ ammo laying around and the dunces in the press would never put that into a story.
7.62 damn fingers
jonp – re-read “Dave Hardin sends the story of Jeremy Elmore, a retired soldier in El Paso, Texas, which Dave sent as an example of a fake news story. I misunderstood his intent.”
(emphasis added)
Careful, or these guys will rag you with this for months.
