Thursday morning feel good stories
From Springfield, Illinois;
According to the statement, Bettendorf repeatedly rang the doorbell of a house on the 1300 block of East Blaine Street at about 4 a.m.
The homeowner didn’t recognize Bettendorf and didn’t open the door, the statement said, so Bettendorf went around the house and tried to pry off a window screen by the kitchen.
When Bettendorf came back around and tried to get inside the home through the front bedroom window, the homeowner grabbed a two-by-four piece of wood, the statement said.
Bettendorf was halfway through the window when the homeowner yelled and hit him with the piece of wood, the statement said.
Bettendorf fled, the statement said, though the homeowner caught up to him in a neighbor’s yard and punched Bettendorf in the face until he passed out.
Police arrived and arrested Bettendorf after he regained consciousness, the statement said.
In early March, a thief in Miami, Florida tried to force his way into a home where a mother was alone with her two small children, a shot gun made her equal to the thief and she prevented him from hurting her kids;
In Burbank, California, two criminals walked into a donut shop and demanded money from the clerk. the employee took the gun from the crooks and they immediately fled the store.

bwahahahaha…punched the guy unconscious!!!
[insert obligatory donut shop/police joke here]
In lieu of having a personal firearm for protection, a 2X4 might work like it did in one instance. The homeowner is safe, and the bad guy is in jail. And never underestimate the determination of a mother protecting her children. One of them had a shotgun and ran the loser off. Another alternative to having your own gun is to take the gun away from the thugs. Sometimes that will work in your favor, but don’t count on it.
Now about that Miami situation… where are those vast crowds of pink-hats, snowflakes and ninja wannabees lighting up the neighborhood and chanting “equality”?
Too bad mama didn’t dump and pump that shotgun as soon as “if Obama had a son” flew through that front door….
She had just swept and mopped the floor, and didn’t want to have to do it again.
I’d have been popping caps, personally.
Same here. I don’t see how one wouldn’t pull the trigger after multiple blows on the door and then having it fly open…. BOOM! Gave here plenty of time for a good position and setup. If he charged here instead of running she would have had less than a second. I wish she had ended his career!
Morning wood in Springfield.
I wonder how long it took the Springfield homeowner to find the vacuum release valve in the crook’s head and face?
