Friday morning feel good stories
In Miami, Florida, a road rage shooting may have ben a “stand your ground” case;
Witnesses reportedly told police the man who was shot apparently got out of a white Chevy pickup and began arguing with the driver of gray Chevy SUV on the NW 12th Avenue bridge near NW 7th Street close to Marlins Park.
The pickup driver, later identified as Ciro Luis Iglesias, 62, ended up being shot by the driver of the SUV.
Iglesias was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in critical condition.
“No one is being called a suspect or a victim at this point,” said Miami Police Lt. Freddie Cruz. “We are investigating and consulting with the state attorney.”
Attorney Simon Steckel, who does not represent either man in this incident, said this may up end up being a case of self-defense.
From Mason County, West Virginia;
Deputies said Dale William Light of Culloden was shot early Thursday morning by a homeowner after making entry into a residence on Ashton Upland Road near the Mason-Cabell county line, according to a news release from the Mason County Sheriff’s Department.
Light was found by deputies when they responded to the scene to investigate the report of a home invasion and attempted robbery, the release said. He was taken by ambulance to St. Mary’s Medical Center in Huntington where he was listed in critical condition.
From Macon, Georgia;
The 66-year-old manager of the Ole Times Country Buffet in Dublin had noticed two men walking down the sidewalk as he went to his SUV in the parking lot at about 7:30 p.m. Friday.
One of them walked up with a gun and demanded Harrell’s money.
When the Telfair County resident said he didn’t have any, the gunman made him sit in the vehicle as the robber rifled through the console and glove compartment.
The robber grabbed a pistol and some other items from the vehicle and started to leave.
When he turned back around with his gun pointed, Harrell fired a shot from another weapon he had concealed in the car, hitting 21-year-old Devin Wilbert.

“At some point during the terrifying encounter, the manager, decided that he would not go down without a fight and produced his own weapon and began firing at the two thugs who I’m sure began screaming like a couple of prepubescent little girls as they fled, desperately hoping to escape the hot lead being directed towards them by their former ‘victim,’ ” Steverson wrote.

3 more incidents of legally armed citizens protecting life, limb and property with their legally owned firearms. Two bad guys in critical condition, another wounded and two thugs who I’m sure began screaming like a couple of prepubescent little girls as they fled.
Love the comments from Sheriff Chris Steverson. I guess they know how to deal with the criminal element in his county.
You mean:
““At some point during the terrifying encounter, the manager decided that he would not go down without a fight and produced his own weapon and began firing at the two thugs who I’m sure began screaming like a couple of prepubescent little girls as they fled, desperately hoping to escape the hot lead being directed towards them by their former ‘victim,’ ” Steverson wrote.
“I commend him for having his own personal protection, and for being prepared to use it, most likely saving his own life as he faced death from those two sacks of human waste,” Steverson posted. “?
I wonder how the Sheriff Steverson really feels about these perps?
The good Sheriff has nothing on A Proud Infidel when it comes to a run on sentence of accurate well deserved descriptions of perps. But it is still refreshing to see him describe the perps as he did.
Reminds me of the sheriff a few years back whose explanation of why a cop-killer was shot 40+ times at apprehension said “because we ran out of bullets.”
Devin and Quantavius…..so much potential….
