Sunday morning feel good stories
From Boone, North Carolina;
According to the Boone Police Department, 21-year-old Austin Tyler Cotton was charged with misdemeanor breaking and entering.
The reported home invasion occurred around 9:37 p.m. at an apartment on Green Street, officers said. Police said Cotton received a non-life threatening gunshot wound when he was reportedly shot by the resident during the break-in.
From Canada, 64-year-old Les Lehmann was shot nine times while he fended off two armed criminals while he was armed with only a baseball bat in the Dominican Republic.
The transplanted Winnipegger was shot 10 times — the 10th grazed his knee — just after a warm Caribbean midnight in January 2014.
Lehmann was not only protecting himself. Twenty-six people — 22 teenagers and four chaperones — had just checked in; a humanitarian group from Winnipeg there to help at an orphanage and local school.
Lehmann put his life on the line to save them and was later awarded the Star of Courage, Canada’s second highest civilian medal for bravery.
Lehmann, now 67 and almost fully recovered, doesn’t see his actions as heroic. All he did, he says, was react to a bad situation.
That’s how it plays out when only criminals have guns.
The victim told deputies that around 6:30 Friday night on Old Union Church Road in Laurel County two women knocked on her door.
They then forced their way in and assaulted her. She said she thought she was able to stab one with a sword.
The two ran off and nothing was taken.
Deputies are still looking for the intruders.

“shot nine times while he fended off two armed criminals while he was armed with only a baseball bat”
Well, Canadians can’t have guns in their own country so they have become proficient with bats. Simple preservation of the species.
Maybe some of their hockey stick skills translate to baseball bats?
Good on Mr. Lehmann’s tapping into appropriate survival skills and his will do protect those in his charge.
Kentucky lady fends off two intruders with a sword. I’m keeping mine handy, too.
Yesterday you had a crossbow.
Now you have a sword.
Then there is that frying pan…..
-As a reminder to those interested, disgraced, disheveled and dishonorable Dan has a rescheduled appointment tomorrow morning in Chesapeake, Va.
Dan’s ministry of bitter debauchery and floor show are scheduled for 09:30. Two criminal convictions are on appeal, featuring case number CR17000829-00 and CR17000829-01.
Have a Special Day, Danny!
Will there be a tailgate party in the courthouse parking lot? I’ll be selling foam fingers in the parking lot if you want to wave them at Danny Boy, but they won’t be the index finger variety.
He loves the attention, see if you can get him to pose for a photo. Haha, maybe Don & Diane will pose with him while he’s wearing shackles and zippy cuffs.
Do you think they sell Tucks Pads in the prison commissary?
Guess it’s too late to plan a road trip. Would have been nice to see some folks there. Maybe next time.
(With this clown there is always a next time, it seems.)
I still wish that Diane would have kicked ol turdbath square in the balls and then had him arrested.
It must have been hard for Don Shipley to not mop up the concrete with his stupid puss and instead defer to the power of the police officers…
Haha! Everybody knows that Birdbath ain’t got no balls.
