Friday morning feel good stories
From St Louis, Missouri;
St. Louis Police said a homeowner shot a suspected burglar in the leg overnight in South St. Louis.
It happened on Iowa just north of Arsenal and Gravois. Police said the homeowner heard an alarm in his garage about 2:45 a.m. Thursday.
The homeowner and burglar got into a struggle, before police said the homeowner shot the suspect.
He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The homeowner is cooperating with police.
From Robeson County, North Carolina;

“Wiregrass Road”
When I first worked in LA the median strips were adorned with pretty flowers in pots.
It took a while but I eventually learned they were plastic covered wires.
Reminded me of Jefferson Airplane’s “Plastic Fantastic Lover”

They were driving a Buick as a robbery getaway car?
That is SOOOOO not cool! They couldn’t find a Chevy or a Toyota, huh? Or a Prius?
Seriously, I’m waiting for a couple of these mindless twits to steal a Tesla, which is powered with Li ion batteries, crash it somehow, and try to scramble out of it when it explodes and burns until the lithium no longer leaks.
A twenty-eight year old Buick at that; I guess armed robbery isn’t a very lucrative career.
(And lithium is a solid so it won’t leak; the wreck just shorts out the battery cells, I guess, when they get bent all up.)
Yes, but it’s a self-sustaining chemical fire that burns out of control and is literally impossible to extinguish. And a wrecked Tesla with the battery (under the body, always) reignited while it was in storage.
Those things are nasty, nasty, nasty.
I read more accounts of “shot in the leg”.
Q: left leg, right leg, or third leg?
Inquiring minds, and all that.
No way Davis is guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Gun control prevents that sort of thing. How gullible do they think we are?
