Saturday morning feel good stories
Russ sends us a link from Mobile, Alabama;
The victim stated the suspects came to his residence and one of the suspects began kicking the door attempting to gain entry. The victim said as he opened the door to his residence he spotted the suspects pulling out their guns and that is when he shot at them. The suspects also shot back striking the residence numerous times.
One of the suspects, 28-year-old Robert Bexley, was treated at the hospital and released. Bexley has been booked in to Metro Jail and is charged with burglary first degree, shooting into an occupied dwelling and possession of a short barrel rifle.
The second suspect is still in the hospital and is listed in critical but stable condition.
From Choctaw County, Mississippi;
The adolescent was alone in the house when Jerry Lee Robinson arrived with the weapon, Choctaw County Chief Deputy Lee Upchurch said, according to The Associated Press.
After the adult made a threatening move, the juvenile fired at Robinson, Upchurch said. Authorities reportedly discovered that the man, who was non-responsive and later pronounced dead, had been shot in the chest.
The juveniles’ mother, Rachel Cork, told WCBI that her 16-year-old son “defended himself” against Robinson. The teen was identified as a relative of Robinson’s.
“Yeah, my son defended himself,” Cork told the outlet. “It could have been the other way around. It could have been my son, I’m the one I’m picking up and having to bury, but it wasn’t.”

“… possession of a short barrel rifle.”
BATF’s little pointy ears just perked up.
Alabama is felon friendly when it comes to firearms. Most local departments pass off problem children to the Feds because they can’t be prosecuted at the state level. This guy might have had ten felony convictions and still not be prohibited to possess.
An SBR will draw their attention. The locals will be thrilled to let the Feds have it since it means real time instead of the slap on the wrist they get down here.
The victim shot back and defended himself against the suspects? Wait, the suspects aren’t the victims? Are we in Twilight Zone and nobody told me?
Oh, wait – maybe the tide is turning and I didn’t check the tidal flow schedule. My bad.
Glad to know that the teenager in the 2nd story had enough common sense and skill to do the self-defense job correctly.
No mention how the home owner (the REAL victim) was doing? (in Mobile)
And they want to keep guns out of the hands of kids below 21 by keeping them locked up all the time…
Why there is never an instance of kids defending themselves or their siblings and never has been in the history of the world…..
[…] This ain’t Hell… has some feel good stories […]
