Wednesday morning feel good stories

| December 13, 2017

From Summerville, South Carolina;

Police say [David Austin] Rutledge came to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment, began banging on the door, kicked in the door and then went inside.

According to the police, the woman’s current boyfriend told investigators that when Rutledge broke in, he grabbed the woman’s gun from the bedside, and fired it one time.

The bullet hit Rutledge in the arm, but police say the boyfriend told them Rutledge continued coming forward, and the two wound up in a physical fight.

Only when the boyfriend began choking Rutledge did he relent, and leave the room, the boyfriend told police.

Rutledge remains hospitalized, and faces arrest once discharged. Police say the boyfriend was injured, but not seriously, and did not want medical treatment.

From Chicago, Illinois;

Shortly after 2 a.m., a 27-year-old man was pulling his vehicle into a back yard lot in the 9100 block of South Blackstone when another male approached and pointed a weapon, according to Chicago Police.

The 27-year-old, who has a concealed carry permit, opened fire, striking the would-be robber in the chest, police said. The suspect was taken in critical condition to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

From Oak Park, Illinois;

The store manager tells WGN, three men walked into the store, located at 240 Chicago Ave., around 11:30 p.m. Monday.

One of the men had a gun, and he walked to the back of the store — while the others followed.

A store employee shot one of the suspects. He was transported to the hospital.

The two other men fled from the scene — empty-handed. According to the store manager, the men are still on the run.

From Ft Lauderdale, Florida;

Im going to found a new charity; “Slugs for Thugs”.

Your donations will help replace ammunition used by law abiding citizens to send budding thuglets to meet the “Great Peacemaker” in the sky, and thereby saving taxpayers from having to pay for these vermin wasting the courts time, and supporting them at the Gray Bar hotel.

C’mon Folks…..give ’till it hurts. ( them )

One of the few that had a lawful permit Chicago. What are the odds?

Well, Eddie Johnson (Chief of CPD) is not at all anti-self defense. Real estate agents are applying for FOID/CCW permits because they are in a compromising field of work. Homeowners are not being denied the right to have guns at home. That whack job preacher who insisted that guns used in crimes in Chicago has shut up about it because of the Tribune’s reports of guns being stolen from parked rail freight cars on the south side. Mare Rahmbo is an idiot, crime on the streets has risen since he took office, and I’m glad I don’t live there any more.

Da Bearsss!

At the Chicago story link, there is a button/link seeking donations to gun-grabber organizations. Amazing.
