Tuesday morning feel good stories

| May 16, 2017

From Schwartz, Louisiana;

Deputies say a man entered a home in the area and threatened to harm 2 elderly people who lived there.

One of the homeowners fatally shot the suspect.

The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

In Fairfield, California;

Police said several witnesses told officers the suspect entered the store wearing a mask, before pulling a gun from his waistband and attempted to rob the place.

The store’s clerk, fearing for his life, pulled out his own gun and shot the suspect in the chest.

Officers recovered the suspect’s gun, which turned out to be a realistic-looking BB gun, police said.

Mr Perp is in critical condition.

“Officers recovered the suspect’s gun, which turned out to be a realistic-looking BB gun, police said.”

Never bring a toy to a gun fight….the guy with the real gun does not have to bluff.

Dear perps,
Play stoopid games, win stoopid prizes.
Thank you for participating.

“A man entered a home in the area and threatened to harm 2 elderly people who lived there.” Stupid, stupid, stupid. We are old, we ache, we can’t do many of the things we used to do. We get pissed off easily. We will kill you just to have something to talk about with our friends.
And trying to use a BB gun to pull off a robbery. That is committing a stupid act of “attempted suicide by concerned clerk”.

Don’t you mean “attempted self-murder by concerned clerk”?

It may be a matter of semantics, but there is a common condition known as “suicide by cop” – where the individual wants to end their life, but lacks the courage (?) to do so, so they attempt to get a LEO to do it for them.

On the other hand, when Carrasco attempted to get out of the “Walls” unit of TDCJ and ended up shot by the Texas Rangers, the JP ruled his death (and that of his buddies) as a suicide. His justification was “Any time a Texas Ranger tells you to put down your gun and you don’t, that is suicide.”

Graybeard, Hack’s reference is to Bernath’s insistence on referring to suicide as “self-murder” (to aid in his attempts to pin murder charges on those who “out” stolen valorists who later commit suicide).

Couldn’t have been a BB Gun. California requires the orange tip on the BB gun.

Here’s to enjoying an even better Tuesday Morning Feel Good story, as a disheveled, disbarred and humiliated no-airplane-flying SOB makes yet another appearance and spectacle of himself, catheter and all, before the Chesapeake, Virginia District Court.

Have a special day Danny boy. Clean yourself up before you meet your new husband.

Waiting with bated breath for the AAR, Tallywhagger. (smile)

Ah shucks! It looks like that sleazy, sifty cockspaniel has managed to get yet another extension! The next hearing date is May 22nd.

I sent the docket information to Jonn and he can post it if he likes.

Dammit, I was looking forward to some shoulder-rolling celebration, just like a dog does when it finds just what it has been looking for.

Don’t mess with old folks. They’ll just shoot your ass.
