Friday morning feel good stories
From Clinton County, Pennsylvania;

AW1Ed sends a link from Los Angeles County, California;
A man who was jumping rooftops in La Puente, evading police for nearly five hours, was finally stopped when a man who lives in the home he was on top of actually climbed up and threw him off the roof on Tuesday.
The moment was captured in a cellphone video that shows 83-year-old Wilford Burgess climbing up a ladder onto the roof of his home, first approaching the man and then pushing him off.

STUPID, Stupid, stupid, piece of crap thugs. 6 incidents, 3 dead, 1 wounded, 1 hurt when pushed off a citizen’s roof, and one filled his pants as he ran. No law abiding people were hurt in any of these incidents. What a bunch of lazy, useless, no account dopes.
Getting tossed off a roof by an 83 year old man named Wilford is not going to help the suspect’s “street cred” one bit.
Gun? Don’t need no stinkin’ gun when you have old man strength…
I am planning on buying that Ranger-up Old Man’s Club T-shirt that says: “Beware the old man, in a world where men die young.”
“thrown off the roof by an 83 year old”
Fell of off my chair giggling like a hysterical school girl….
“Heathcliff” Garcia, apparently DRT.
How does that score on the TAH Scrabble Home Edition?
And the world is a more peaceful place…..now.
From out of nowhere, a dark horse named Heathcliff Garcia makes a stretch run to win the roses for this week’s top scorer in TAH Name Scrabble (Home Version).
Basic score of 33. Since Heathcliff was DRT, the score is tripled to 99.
I think its a 33, unless you get a double for DRT.
Triple….I stand corrected
83 years old? “STOUT!!!”
As for the rest of the vermin? Good riddance.
I hope when I’m 83 I’ll still be able to toss an ass hole off a roof, or out a window, or through a door.
Hell I give the guy major points for climbing to the roof.
My Dad once told me that one does not climb up on roofs once you are over 75; otherwise you might not make it to 76.
