Monday morning feel good stories

| January 22, 2018

From Lake Wells, Florida;

According to Judd, the incident began as a domestic violence situation. About 8 a.m, deputies were called to the home on College Hill Road in Lake Wales. The wife and daughter of Shannon J. Cables, 46, said he had threatened his wife with a long safety pin, then struck the wife with a pool cue and used mace on them.

During the incident, Cables pointed a gun at the women, but the 19-year-old daughter tackled him and got the gun away. The women then fled the home. Cables fled into the woods.

The wife was taken to the hospital. Deputies remained at the home.

About 2:15 p.m., deputies escorted the women back to the home. As they arrived, one of them saw Cables emerge from the woods, carrying the AR-15 and a shotgun.

One of the deputies confronted Cables and told him to put down his weapons. Instead, Cables opened fire with the AR-15, Judd said.

The deputy returned fire. Two deputies emerged from the back door of the home and also opened fire.

Cables was struck and stopped firing. Deputies began first aid and called paramedics. He was taken to Lake Wales Regional Medical Center, where he died.

From Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania;

Authorities say 32-year-old Wilkinsburg resident Randall Hackett was found at the home by officers responding to reports of a burglary in process. They say gunfire was soon exchanged and Hackett was injured, though further details about the shooting were not immediately released.

Hackett underwent surgery and is hospitalized in stable condition. Authorities say he will be charged with burglary, three counts of reckless endangerment and two counts each of aggravated assault and attempted homicide.

At least these stories are understandable. The past few days, it took multiple readings with no certainty of grasping what had actually occurred.

DRT clown #1 demonstrated the limits of freedom to do whatever you want in your own home. Any of us could have told him that macing members of your family and such are over the line. The daughter did get some better genes somewhere.

Yeah, kinda wonder if she’s really his daughter.

Of course, if his use of alcohol (or another chemical intoxicant) was a factor in the incident all bets are off.

One down, one gone for good.

It’s a puzzle why they do these things and why they repeat the offense, but clearly, it all has consequences. They’re not real bright, are they?

The Florida incident almost sounds as if it could be suicide by cop.
