Thursday morning feel good stories
Bobo sends us a link to a story in Beech Bluff, Tennessee;
The suspects kicked in the door of a home on East Laurel Road around 10 a.m. Monday, not realizing the homeowner was home, according to a release from Madison County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Tom Mapes.
The homeowner pulled a gun on them, and the suspects fled in a vehicle. All five were apprehended within 40 minutes after a brief chase, according to the release.
The four adults are each charged with aggravated burglary and will be arraigned Thursday morning in General Sessions Court.
They are Quentin Childress, 20, of Jackson, Jaylon Chiles, 18, of Biloxi, Miss., Amar Johnson, 21, of Jackson, and Kendrick McMullin, 19, of Jackson.
chooee sends a link from Muskegon Heights, Michigan;
Police responded around 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 16, to the Marathon gas station near West Hackley Avenue and Seaway Drive on a report of a shooting.
Muskegon Heights Police Chief Joseph Thomas Jr. confirms two men aged in their early to mid 30s were shot. One of whom was an employee of the station, he said.
It’s possible one of the men shot is the suspect; there is no more apparent threat to the public.
They were taken to Muskegon-area hospitals, where they’re expected to recover from their injuries.
Don sends a link from Centerton, Arkansas where it’s reported that Kerrie Lenkerd won’t face charges for shooting at a dog-rapist;
She told police that the boy was in his boxers and he was sexually assaulting the neighbor’s dog.
She took a gun from her safe and approached him and ordered him to get on the ground, the warrant states. She said he jumped the fence and so she went after him and fired a shot into the ground to scare him.
Officers spoke with the boy who said Lenkerd came around and pointed a gun at him and told him to put his hands up. He said he didn’t see a badge so she he jumped the fence and ran away in his underwear. He said Lenkerd fired a shot about five or 10 seconds after he jumped the fence.
The boy told police that when he got home he changed his clothes and told his mom a false story before meeting with police. The court documents states the boy does not want to pursue charges and law enforcement does not object to this decision.
From Oklahoma City, Oklahoma;
An officer caught up with the 79-year-old man who stated he had just been robbed. The man told police he was getting gas at 1028 N. MacArthur when a man ran up behind him and grabbed his wallet from his back pocket and fled the area. The victim then grabbed a gun from his truck and fired several shots at the man’s feet because “he didn’t want to shoot anyone else”.
Police were able to identify the suspect as 55-year-old Kervin Leon Gardiner. Gardiner was arrested May 15 on complaints of robbery in the first degree.
From Orangeburg County, South Carolina;
The Mount Carmel Road resident said he heard someone walking across his kitchen floor at 4:45 a.m.
He jumped up and armed himself with his handgun.
That’s when he noticed a man coming toward his bedroom.
The resident said he shot at the intruder out of fear for his own safety. The intruder returned fire.
The intruder exited the house and the two continued to exchange fire.
Deputies noticed the man’s front door had been kicked in. The intruder left a pair of Nike flip-flops on the front porch.
Chief Tango sends a link from Memphis, Tennessee;
Tuesday evening, the victim was leaving his home in the 5100 block of Horn Lake Road headed to work when he noticed a man rummaging through his car.
Seeing the homeowner, the suspect reportedly jumped out of the vehicle and charged at the man.
Authorities said that’s when the homeowner opened fire, striking him. He then immediately called 911.
The suspect in this case has not been identified, but we do know he is expected to be OK.

Busy morning.
Is the dog okay?
Dog Lives Matter
I could barely make it past the first item:
Quentin, Jaylon, Amar, and Kendrick
All I can do is borrow another frequent poster’s tagline:
– sigh –
Dey sho, be special.
Four aspiring rappers.
Tenors in the Church choir.
Loved to make people laugh.
Loved they chirren’.
Was gonna go to GED class this summer.
Dinn… Do… Nuffin
All of them are “pillars of the community” that are “regular, church-going people”…. that were “running with the wrong crowd”.
The moron in Oklahoma needs to just turn in his handguns and walk away. Shooting at a fleeing criminal’s feet because you don’t want to shoot anyone else isn’t a training failure, it’s a common sense and self control failure.
I see great downside in shooting at the feet of someone who is retreating. I don’t see much of an upside.
The boy doesn’t want to press charges?
Did anybody ask the dog?!?
The boy has retained counsel from the ACLU.
The Dog has retained counsel from the ASPCA.
ACLU?
Would that be the American Canine Lovers Union?
/Sorry, couldn’t help myself…

Good thing I’ve learned to not drink my morning coffee while getting my morning does of TAH.
Is the dog getting counseling?
Maybe it needs a “therapy human”?
Well, at least it wasn’t the neighbor’s brood sow the boy was sexually assaulting.
#MutantBaconSeedLivesMatter.
Nike flipflops left behind? Am I living in an alternate universe now?
I’m going back to watching Becky’s Homestead and the Kitten Lady.
I love the Kitten Lady! did you see the one where she saved the kitten in Peru?
Having sex with a dog? Disgusting as hell.
He thought it was a barracks shark.
Poor dog, I hope she gets counseling? She should have taken a bite out of crime and by that I mean his pecker! Poor poor dog!
A jury has acquitted the white female police officer who shot and killed the black motorist who was using PCP in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Still chuckling the second time around these stories. One guy left his shoes at the scene while another left his pants.
Maybe the dog will be issued a service human?
I think bestiality is only a misdemeanor in Arkansas (or maybe OJT) so deadly force is not merited for a fleeing offender at all.
However…
This is why they had stocks in the town square in the old days. Put him in the stocks for a few days in the middle of the town square with a sign around his neck saying “dog fucker” and that little problem would have gone away. Instead we have nothing…
