Saturday morning feel good stories
A Milton, Florida homeowner breathed a sigh of relief the other day;
The Pensacola News Journal reported the state attorney’s office determined the homeowner reasonably thought his family was in danger when 39-year-old Marcus Indigo Mulinix tried to force his way into the home on Oct. 21.
Prosecutors said Mulinix was screaming and twisting the front door knob trying to get inside. The homeowner got his rifle, went out the back door and walked to the front yard while his mother called 911. He saw that Mulinix had gotten the door part-way open.
Records say when the homeowner yelled at him, the man raised a baseball bat and approached him. That’s when the homeowner shot him in the chest.
From Silver City, New Mexico;
Silver City Police Capt. Ricky Villalobos said 48-year-old Eric Arzate died in the Tuesday shooting at 1000 Slag Road. The second suspect, 45-year-old John V. Shivner, is in stable condition after receiving gunshot wounds.
After police executed a search warrant, Villalobos said they discovered Arzate’s body dressed in a vest with a badge and markings resembling a police officer. Arzate also had a helmet with the word “police” written on the front.
Home invaders wore police disguises before fatal shooting, police sayPolice believe Arzate and Shivner were armed with handguns when they went inside the home and wanted to rob it. Both men were shot, and Arzate was killed.
Authorities charged Shivner with aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, felon in possession of a firearm, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
From Akron, Ohio;
Three men, all apparently young black males wearing dark clothing and obscured faces, attempted to rob the pharmacy at 786 W. Market St., store employees told police.
Two of the males jumped over the pharmacy counter, near the register, and yelled “Don’t move!” to employees, police said.
The suspects started to pull plastic bags out of their pockets.
The store owner said he feared for his life and pulled out a 9mm handgun and fired several shots at the suspects, police said.
The males jumped back over the counter and ran to a nearby red Chevrolet Blazer parked on South Highland Avenue and drove off, police said.
Police said several minutes later a male was dropped off at Barberton Hospital with a gunshot wound. Because that person has not yet been charged by early Friday afternoon, his identity has not been released, police said.
The other suspects were not identified.

That guy in Milton was lucky he was in Florida. Many states wouldn’t recognize his actions as in keeping with “Castle Doctrine”. He basically ambushed the perpetrator; not that I really give a shit about the shooting the asshole. He should have let him come in the door, even though you end up with a broken door and blood on the floor.
And, of course, many states don’t even recognize “stand your ground”. But a 30-30 round to the chest at least helps keep it a one-sided story!
Might re-read that – the homeowner challenged him and the guy started charging him with a bat. That isn’t an ambush – that is a fatal error on the part of the housebreaker. He was given a reasonable chance to stop, and failed to take advantage of it.
That;s right. Wen he raised the bat and came at the home owner, he was committing an aggravated assault [Felony-2] Bang—
I don’t need to re-read it. Fortunately the asshole is dead, so he couldn’t testify to some bullshit story like;
“Hey, I just knocked on the door so I could return this baseball bat that was lying in his yard and he yelled at me and pointed gun. I threw up my hands and he shot me.
Unfortunately, bullshit stories like that have worked for a defense. It would take awhile to dig around, but I could reference a couple of very similar stories that resulted in the shooter in jail.
Am I to understand that the Bad Guys are not having a good day in pursuit of their chosen criminal activities?
Too bad. So sad.
‘Indigo’ as a name? (Means ‘dark blue’ in English) And then there’s ‘Mulinix’, which could easily be mispronounced as ‘mucinex’, couldn’t it?
Marcus Indigo Mulinix
Claw, up!
Roger.
Have had the TAH Name Scrabble (Home Version)®™ score worked up for the past two and a half hours just waiting for a request.
Marcus Indigo Mulinix (DRT) 34×3= 102
(((Over)))
Copy all; thanks!
That DRT/DOT multiplier really adds up.
I’m happy for the Florida homeowner that the state Atty General has the common sense that God gave a goose to not prosecute.
Not the state attorney general but the prosecutor for Escambia County.
Always love to see the DRT’s first thing in the morning! Good shooting folks!
“dressed in a vest with a badge and markings resembling a police officer”
Let me guess….no plates in the vest?
Plates??? Rubbermaid maybe…
