Saturday morning feel good stories
From Memphis, Tennessee;

No arrests have been made.
From Silver Spring, Maryland;
Montgomery County police say officers responded to the 14000 block of Twig Road at around 3:18 a.m. Wednesday for a reported theft. When they arrived, police were flagged down by a resident on Rossiter Court who told them he had fired several gunshots with his handgun at three suspects in the area. The suspects fled the scene after the shooting.
A short time later, police located an 18-year-old male suspect suffering from a gunshot wound to his lower body on Elm Grove Circle after the 911 call center received a call about a person shot. He was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Two other teenage suspects were later located by police. They have been charged with theft while the injured 18-year-old is expected to face charges once he is released from the hospital.
From Little Rock, Arkansas;
About 30 minutes later, a female robber holding a “long barrel rifle” and a man with a gun entered the Exxon station at 8724 Colonel Glenn Road, authorities said.
The pair immediately pointed their weapons at the manager and several customers near the cash register, according to the report.
The 30-year-old manager said he recognized the two robbers as [Makala Ann] Colin and an 18-year-old Little Rock man, and addressed both of them by name.
“Really Makala? You’re really gonna do this?” he said, according to the report. He then handed the robbers some cash.
When the 18-year-old man realized that he had been identified, he became angry, yelling that he was going to kill someone, while at the same time grabbing multiple pastries and cupcakes from a nearby display stand, the report stated.
Then the pair fled, running to a maroon Chevrolet truck that was waiting for them, the manager told officers. He added that Colin dropped the rifle, the report said.
As the manager ran after the truck trying to get the license plate number, he said, the man began shooting at him. The employee said he shot back and thought he may have shot Colin in the thigh.
The driver and the male robber then left in the truck, the manager told police, while Colin reportedly ran south on John Barrow Road.
About 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, officers spoke to Colin at CHI St. Vincent Infirmary, where she was being treated for a gunshot wound in her left thigh, police said.
Colin reportedly told officers that she had been shot around midnight while taking her usual route to her boyfriend’s house. She said she heard arguing coming from a house in the 3600 block of Walker Street, then shots were fired, and she felt something hit her leg and started running, according to reports.
Colin said she reached her boyfriend’s house, cleaned the wound there and waited until about 7:30 a.m. to go to the hospital, reports said.
The Exxon manager did not report the holdup until Wednesday, telling police that he had pushed the alarm button but later discovered that it was not connected and was “overwhelmed” so he went home, the report said.
He told police that a woman entered the business that day saying she was Colin’s mother. She showed the manager pictures of the gunshot wound and requested that he call police to “keep her daughter from being killed” through her ties to the male robber, the report said.
From Detroit, Michigan;
The robber went into the deli and demanded money, then hopped over the counter, Simon Shaykhet of WXYZ reports.
Police say the store owner saw his daughter being accosted and opened fire on the suspect, shooting him in the arm.
Police arrested the man.

Wow……a bit of “cray-cray” going on in Little Rock.
cue up “yakkity sax”
“A Little Rock man” is the mainstream media’s preferred term for “non-citizen”. As he is 18, we can only speculate whether he’s a “DACA beneficiary” or “dreamer” or “recently arrived unaccompanied minor”. Hence the desire to shield the little squirt from deportation once he’s been convicted.
More to this story than made the paper. Apparently the male involved had a case of the munchies on two robberies. No telling why the perp dropped the shotgun but clearly both were high on something.
“I’ll have a pastrami on rye, Swiss, sauerkraut, brown mustard, and the contents of the cash register, please. Hold the bullets”
“…said he was going to kill someone, while at the same time grabbing multiple pastries and cupcakes …”
Okay, this is hard evidence that junk food makes people do strange things. I mean, tose Ho-Hos and DingDongs can be lethal when ingested in mass quantities, especially when they’re not accompanied by diet soda, to delete the overwhelming caloric barrage on the system. It does explain why coyotes and wild turkeys won’t touch them.
Donchu be callin’ Makala a ho-ho, yo.
Santa objects to your mangling of the Snow-bonics use of repeated “ho”.
I think this meets the criteria of an FGS, even though there’s no firearms involved.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/12/30/2-electrocuted-at-substation-in-detroit.html
“A worker reportedly told Fox 2 he found the bodies just after 6:30 a.m. when he went to the substation to investigate a power outage. The pair are suspected of breaking in the front door of the substation, and, according to Fox 2, they were in the process of stealing copper wiring when they were electrocuted.”
Darwin grins.
So, um, they didn’t make the connection between bare wire attached to a live electric generating unit?
Yes, Darwin is grinning just a little bit.
Looks like they did make a connection between the bare wire and generating unit when they touched the bare wire and were grounded permanitly.
Two bad eggs, fried hard.
Aw, C’mon, Detroit Police. Give us their names.
This would be an excellent opportunity to use the new DAM (Dumb Ass Move) multiplier of four while playing Name Scrabble.
Spoil Sports.
This is my shocked face.
“Police found the injured suspect lying dead in front of the home upon arrival.”
I am confused, was the suspect injured or dead? Or is this a new state for humans, we are both injured (alive) and dead? And what is it about the “lying dead?” As opposed to sitting dead, or standing dead? I guess the writer cannot just say, “They found the suspect dead in front of the home.”
It is called Mostly Dead, a rare condition that was first observed when Farmboy Wesley was tortured by the albino under the orders of Prince Humperdink.
When they are All Dead, there is only one thing to do. Go through their pockets and look for loose change.
(my emphasis)
Double face-palm. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Not the sharpest rocks in the quarry.
Sheeeeesssshhh!
SMH at the Little Rock, Arkansas event:
-The alarm button did not work.
-The manager recognized the suspects, but did not call the police.
-The 18y.o. male perp who remains unidentified.
-18y.o. Makala Ann Colin and her excuses.
-Social media publication of their activities.
Kids these days. They are so stupid.
