Thursday Morning Feel Good Stories
I see that the Platoon Sergeant has been busy ferreting out the whats, whys, wants and warrants on one of the better-known rascals in the AO of This Ain’t Hell, so the following is the regular Morning Feel Good stuff, courtesy of one Dave Hardin. (There can be Only One!) Enjoy it, and if you have a story of your own that you would like to share, please feel free to post it here so that others may enjoy it, too.
A man was charged with aggravated robbery in Columbus OH. The suspect became especially aggravating to the off duty Police Sergeant who happened to be home at the time. Seeing the intruder coming through the window, the officer executed his FPF. The intruder was identified a short distance away as the man who was screaming, “I’ve been shot”.
The next case comes from afar but deserves some recognition. First of all, I love the URL name of this story. Second, the title leaves us wondering how many times the suspect was killed. Last but not least, you have to admire a man that uses a shotgun as a sniper rifle to save his daughter. Even the Hans guy from that Christmas movie would be proud.
Southern justice is not known to be verbose. In Hartsville SC, somebody shot one of several intruders. As Buford Pusser was known to say, “Well… I told ya to stop.” If y’all head to the Deep South, I’ma suggestin’ that ya mind those words when ya hear ’em.

Yesterday, after nine years, Virginia finally executed a felon who had viciously murdered an entire family, including children, by cutting their throats and bashing their heads with a hammer, before setting the house on fire and leaving with a basket of cookies.
I think Texas is scheduled to execute somebody today – – – or maybe it’s next week.
Dang. That always makes it harder to leave work.
Patterico posted something about that execution on his blog. Seems the father in the family that was murdered was in a band that have achieved some distinction in the 80s. The killer murdered that whole family, another couple and his own wife (which was the killing that started the spree). I’m no great fan of the death penalty-but screw that guy.
“you have to admire a man that uses a shotgun as a sniper rifle”
Awhile back I acquired a lot of 12ga slugs for cheap. Turned out to so much fun I mounted a scope over the ghost ring sights. One ounce of lead at 1600fps makes a big splash.
