Friday morning feel good stories
In Salt Lake City, Utah, two men broke into a home where they encountered an armed home owner. One was DRT (dead right there) and the other was critically injured.
In Las Vegas, Nevada, “someone” has struck again. When an officer fired a shot and missed at a burglar who was armed with a long gun, “someone” swung his baseball bat and took down the burglar.

“someone”?
I like that…a fine example of good community/police relations.

“someone” doing what “everyone” should.
I love it.
When a cop takes a shot at a burglar and misses, and the homeowner stops the bad guy with a baseball bat, it should be considered a public service. In another incident the homeowner only called police to take the report and the dead thug away. That punk’s buddy is in pretty bad shape too.
The LEO missed but someone’s Louisville Slugger didn’t, I love happy endings!
Wood or aluminum?
Cubbies’ Bryant? 3 HR, 2 doubles in one game. MLB record. Had to be him in Vegas.
I much prefer the nice solid thud of a wooden bat against the perps melon. It has such a nice ring to it! I think the cop really needs more range time. I wonder if he passed his last qualification?? I love happy endings!!!
Reading the article, the perp had a long gun and was looking over a wall @ the cop. A shotgun was found later in the yard where the perp had been.
Not knowing for sure, I suspect the officer took a shot at a small target & the perp ducked behind the wall. Easy enough miss regardless of the range time he has under his belt. The cop would have had the need to maintain cover himself (long gun vs hand gun is not fun if you’re the one with the hand gun) and take a shot at a small & moving target with cover/concealment.
On the downside, “someone’s” beloved bat now has a ding in it.
I’m not sure that someone was real happy being that close to the perp either. Granted the perp was probably distracted by the thought of the lead that flew by and the resultant mess in his pants…
Sometimes you’re the Louisville Slugger, sometimes you’re a ball….

For baseball, I prefer the “crack” of wood on the ball.
Otherwise, I prefer the “ping” of aluminum against a perp’s melon.
