Saturday morning feel good stories
From Jeanerette, Louisiana;
23-year-old Ladarius Charles was released from Iberia Medical Center and booked into the Iberia Parish Jail on Thursday. Charles is accused of entering the home located at 2001 Frisco Street in Jeanerette.
After entering the home and encountering the owner, Charles was shot several times, Matthews said.
Another alleged participant in the crime was Michael Maxie, who assisted Charles after he was shot. Maxie was located at a home on Bank Street in New Iberia, and has been charged with home invasion, aggravated burglary, aggravated burglary with a firearm and attempted first degree murder.
Since the incident, Charles had been in the hospital recovering from the gunshot wounds. Upon his release Thursday, he was immediately taken to the Iberia Parish Jail and booked into the facility on charges of attempted first degree murder, home invasion, armed robbery and armed robbery, use of firearm penalty.
From Tulsa, Oklahoma;
Officers were initially called to the complex in the 3600 block of North Quaker just before 3:25 a.m. in reference to a report of an auto theft.
While investigating the theft, police saw a bleeding man run across the complex. At about the same time, a woman came up to officers and said her child’s father had beat her.
During that assault, the woman told police she grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed the man several times.
Police say the man ran off and forced his way into second apartment. That is where police found him. EMSA took the man to the hospital. Police say he was treated for non-life threatening injuries and then arrested for the assault.
The shooting was reported just after 9 p.m. Wednesday at a home on Missouri 32 just east of Licking. A 34-year-old man called 9-1-1 and said he shot at another man who was trying to break into his home. The caller said he didn’t know whether he hit the intruder.
A few minutes later, the sheriff’s department received another call that a 28-year-old man was at the Licking ambulance base with a gunshot wound to his lower abdomen. An ambulance took the man to a hospital, where he is recovering from his injuries.
Good news for Harry Lembo in Rockland, Maine;
The Knox County District Attorney says he’s decided not to prosecute 69-year-old Harvey Lembo, saying it would raise issues of self-defense. WABI-TV reports that Lembo shot Christopher Wildhaber in 2015 after he broke into Lembo’s apartment to rob him.
Lembo shot Wildhaber when he tried to run away after Lembo pointed a gun at him. District Attorney Jonathan Liberman says prosecutors could not have proven guilt beyond a reasonable doubt had the case gone to trial.
Lembo bought the gun only a few days earlier after a series of break-ins at his apartment. Wildhaber was sentenced to four years in prison for burglary last July.
Chief Tango sends a link from Lumberton, North Carolina;
G.H. Smith, 66, was working about 3 a.m. in the back of his cell phone business on North Pine Street when he heard a loud crash. The noise was made by as many as five people breaking into his store.
“I shouted at them ‘Hey. What y’all doing?’” Smith said. “The other two jumped out the window, but the other guy started this way. It was dark and there was only this night light on … I hollered at him. I thought he had a gun because he was so bold. He was bad. That’s when I thought I’d better stop him right now.”
Smith made a conscious decision to aim his shotgun at the man’s legs.
“And I wasn’t trying to kill him,” Smith said. “You see that Bible right there, that’s my mother’s. Y’know my mother comes in about every day and she’s 84. I think if I’d of taken his head off she wouldn’t have come back anymore. She doesn’t need that extra stress on her. That’s the only thing that saved him, I think. It was a scary situation.”

But they sure as hell tried. We can thank the NRA for keeping this man free as they provided much legal advice. Poor guy was in a wheelchair and the liberals still wanted him in jail.

Damn straight they tried. Maine, like NH and VT are being overrun by the assholes from MA, CT etc that destroyed their own states are are intent on dragging the rest down with them.
‘He was sentenced to 4 years last July”?? Then what the hell is he doing out?
He was, believe it or not, on probation at the time…
Regarding Mr. lembo, what the story doesn’t point out well is that the gentleman is being treated for cancer, and has had his home broken into several times by local thugs looking for pain meds and other stuff to sell.
Mr Lembo is confined to a wheelchair, and finally had had enough of this crap. He bought a gun, and sure enough, withing hours of that this moron attempted to rob him.
Mr Lembo’s apartment complex has also tried to evict him for possession of a firearm, which is says is prohibited in their complex. However, it seems that public pressure has forced them to modify their behaviour somewhat. 🙂
Guy is also a former LEO.
Armed home invasions, forceful robberies, violent spousal assault, mostly done by those who are using the worst of the worst in drugs, and most will not reason, and have no concern for life and limb. The only thing that will stop a bad person is a good person, more determined to survive. Shoot center mass, shoot often, and be safe.
