Sunday morning feel good stories
In Lake Charles, Louisiana, Jyren Jacob Broussard, 17 and two pals, Philip Watson, 17, and Markeithan Stiner, 20, forced their way into a home. When Broussard threatened the resident with his gun, the homeowner pulled out his own piece and Jyren was DRT (dead right there).
Watson and Stiner have been arrested and booked with Armed Robbery, Armed Robbery with a Firearm and Obstruction. No bond has been set for their release.
In Hamilton, Canada, a homeowner was arrested for shooting an intruder;
Investigators say they were called about reports of a home invasion and shooting at a residence on Avondale Street near Barton Street East and Gage Avenue North just before 10:30 p.m.
When officers got there, a man walked out of the house with his hands in the air saying, “I’m the shooter,” a police news release reads.
He was then arrested without incident, police say…The homeowner was charged with aggravated assault, discharging a firearm with intent, unauthorized possession of a firearm, careless use of a firearm, and possession of a dangerous weapon.
From Memphis, Tennessee;
Police say an armed man entered a gas station on the 600 block of Highland St and began hitting the clerk.
According to police the store clerk fired shots at the suspect and hit him.
Police say the suspect fled the business but was found on the corner of Southern and Highland.
He was transported to the hospital in non-critical condition.
From Richmond, Virginia;
According to a citation, the homeowner found the suspect, Brandon Collins, 29, of John Ballard Road, Berea, in his house and allegedly held Collins at gunpoint. The homeowner then fired two rounds and Collins fled, the citation noted.
Collins left behind two baggies with suspected methamphetamine and a syringe at the home, according to the citation.
Later in the afternoon, officers responded to a male subject with a gunshot wound and located Collins. Collins matched the description of the subject who was in the home of the attempted burglary earlier that morning and the homeowner was able to identify Collins…..
From Rock Hill, South Carolina;
Deputies responded to a report of an attempted burglary on Keith Drive just after 3 p.m. Friday.
The complainant said he saw a man trying to break into his house, so he “ran and got a bow and arrow from the corner of his living room and fired an arrow” at the suspect as he ran away, the report says.
Deputies said they didn’t see any fingerprints or sign of forced entry at the scene. There was an arrow stuck in the dirt near the back of the house, the report says.

Down in Louisiana the bad guys get shot, and killed, like Jyren,(or maybe taken to the swamp),his buddies, Philip and Markeithan may be charged with his death, but go north across the border to Mapleleaf country and the homeowner can be arrested for defending what is his. In all but a very few states here in the USA we have the right to self defense, of our lives, of our family and friends, of our goods
Some states have laws that will charge co-conspirators with murder if one of the criminal party dies committing the crime they were working on together.
I think its a wonderful law.
It is the felony murder rule. We inherited from the English Common Law regarding felony crimes. Practically every state, if not all, have a statutory version of it in their respective penal codes. In jolly old England, if a person died during the commission of a dangerous felony (robbery, murder, burglary, rape, or arson) then all the participants could be convicted of murder. It is a kind of vicarious criminal liability.
When I first saw the story about the shooting in Canada, I was all “FUCK YEA!”, then I read the full story and say what that neighborhood looked like and the fact that the home owner was arrested on a slew of charges. WTF Canada? Did he forget to say “Sorry” after shooting the thief that broke into his home? Yes I saw the “unauthorized possession of a firearm”, but still, I just looked at a crime map of Hamilton and it’s covered in person/home/auto/commercial robbery
Of course it is Andy.. when the criminals know that the victims will be charged with a crime if they try and stop the actual criminals, crime will always go up..
Canada is what the anti-gun people wish the U.S. was. The criminals get apologies, the good people get locked up.
But, what does one expect from a country that pays $10 million to an admitted terrorist who made IED’s and killed an American soldier.
They apparently awarded that money under a false narrative. He was awarded that under the illegality of being a child soldier, but he had passed the age for such a claim by all definitions of the term under Canadian and International Law. SMH
The irony that the murdered SF medic had been treating the little bastard for his wounds before the subject incident is lost on these clueless Canucks.
-some- Canadians supported that payment. -some-
Canada also sends good men to fight alongside ours, some of whom make rather impressive long-range shots.
And, lest we be -too-critical of their current office-holder, we might remember what the previous two terms of -ours- meant for the world.
True, 11B. One would think they would have watched our experience with that guy and measured Trudeau against him. But, they didn’t.
Hamilton, Canuckistan is the perfect place for citizens (not serfs) to practice The Four Esses:
Suppress(or)
Shoot
Shovel
Silence
Jyren and Markeithan?
10 bags of quick lime and a deep hole in the back yard could have taken care of the canuke perp and kept the homeowner out of jail.
