Tuesday morning feel good stories

From Lincolnton, North Carolina, Marion Palmer Yarborough went to a home to sell guns he had stolen from his girlfriend’s home. Yarborough was released from prison in March from a seven-year stretch on another home invasion beef. At the point of sale, things went sour;

“It was determined to be a robbery by the people that came from Gastonia,” Carpenter said. “Once they got there they attempted to rob the folks of the money they were going to pay for the weapons.”

The Gastonia men had the male resident drop to the floor at gunpoint, when a woman emerged from a back bedroom firing her handgun. Gunshots sprayed from both those in and outside the mobile home, and the 51-year-old Yarborough was shot to death in the crossfire.

In Enid, Oklahoma, a woman was lured onto her porch by unattended packages she saw there. When she went to retrieve the packages, someone came up behind her and pushed her inside the house;

The woman says she began to struggle with the man, but was able to reach her pistol.

However, she says he took the gun away from her and hit her over the head with it, causing her to lose consciousness.

When she awoke, she was able to grab the gun and fire a shot at the suspect.

The thief got away and police are still looking for him.

In 2015, Brian Bridges, a homeowner in Cleveland, Ohio, found two criminals in his home. Bridges shot at them killing Joseph W. Eason. The police caught up to his partner, Anthony. A. Akins-Daniels and charged him with the felony murder of Eason. In the meantime, police searched Bridges’ home and took his guns.

Akins-Daniels pleaded out to his charges a few months later and the case is over. Bridges was credited with a justified shoot. But the police haven’t returned his guns, so Bridges is suing the city;

The city “wrongfully, intentionally and maliciously continue to hold” his property and refuses to return it “even though the personal property is not being held under any process of law and is not claimed under title or legal right by any other party or entity,” the lawsuit argues.

Always have a backup gun.
