Wednesday morning feel good stories
From Marysville, Washington;
Joe Hemrich says he was awake just before midnight Monday when he heard a noise outside. Not knowing what it was, he went to investigate and found a man in his driveway under his carport. Several shelves and drawers he kept in the area appeared to be ransacked, and the man who turned toward him was brandishing what looked like a baton or stick.
Hemrich says he drew his weapon and ordered the man back.
“When I first saw the guy, nerves got me and I’m thinking oh goodness this is happening.”
Hemrich says he trained to use his firearm for over a decade but never knew what it would mean to draw it on someone.
“I just reacted, weapon in hand two feet from me, committing a crime.”
Hemrich said he was sitting in his living room chair when he heard the noise that startled him. He turned on his cameras but didn’t see anything.
Hemrich says he wasn’t sure what he’d find at his side door.
Hemrich says the suspect dropped his baton or stick, backed up and even got down on the ground when ordered to do so.
“I felt very good about it because I don’t want to shoot anybody, nobody does.”
Hemrich says the suspect was on the ground when police arrived and only tried to run when Hemrich disarmed himself when told to do so by police.
From Omaha, Nebraska;
Police on scene told WOWT 6 News the shooting happened after an attempted robbery of the Bizarre Tobacco. The two suspects were confronted by an employee of the shop.
The employee told police that he fired a gun at the two suspects, fatally wounding one of them.
The suspect who died was 18 year-old Jose Mario Velazquez
Officers are searching for the other suspect involved in the robbery.

In both of these cases, all they need to look for is a suspect with a brown streak in his shorts. And now for some good news, FEMA is a very efficient government agency, it took them less than 24 hours to deny my claim! I can only assume it is because my name doesn’t win the TAH scrabble home version!
Did FEMA say why your claim was denied? Few of my friends in Houston who applied for crisis FEMA money got it right away.
If you have private insurance FEMA denies you more or less instantly.
That’s why they denied me, I have insurance! They said if I send them what my insurance won’t cover, they would think about helping me, I’m not holding my breath for it………………….
FEMA actually administers both private insurance and the public claims; just depends on which bucket they pay you out of. I was actually pleasantly surprised how well the private insurance claim I had for the Tax Day flood was handled last year; I’m hoping the Harvey claim is as painless. Even though I technically don’t live in a flood plain I carry the insurance – damn good thing too. My local creek seems more and more willing to come visit.
Although no one has asked yet, just for shits and grins, the TAH Name Scrabble (Home Version) score for Jose Mario Velazquez(DRT) is 57 x 3 for a whopping 171.
Easily the front runner to win this week’s round.
Marysville and Everett have turned into cesspools filled with Tweakers and Heroin junkies…no doubt one of which encountered an armed Mr. Hemrich.
There is no way Jose is ever gonna live that down
