Friday morning feelgood stories
From Brooklyn, NY
An off-duty police officer shot a robber in the face in Brooklyn Thursday morning, said police.
A cop shot the man who tried to rob him near the corner of Livonia and New Jersey avenues at about 4:55 a.m., police said.
The would-be robber, a man in his 20s, was rushed to Brookdale Hospital in serious but stable condition and the police officer was treated for ringing in his ears at Methodist Hospital, said police.
I hate that ringing in the ears, but statistics have shown that criminals will stop what they are doing when shot in the face.
From CRYSTAL CITY, MO
An 80-year old homeowner asked News 4 not to reveal his identity but he said he returned home recently to find clues that someone had been in and around his house. The first clue he saw was a garden hose stretched across the driveway and was turned on. His wife also suspected someone was inside the house. “She heard the door open, she said something but nobody answered. And when she came to come out the back door, the deadbolt lock was locked on the inside,” he said.
The man didn’t wait for police, he grabbed a handgun and started searching the house himself. When he looked in the basement he saw more clues someone had been in the home.”Well I had to reach in and turn a light on under the steps and that was a little bit concerning but I did it. When I stepped inside he was really on his knees. I guess when I turned that light on he was starting to get up,” said the homeowner. The man said he checked the burglar to make sure he wasn’t armed and then marched him outside to wait for police. The homeowner’s 53-year-old son was outside and on the phone with a police dispatcher.
Note to my sons: If I live to be 80 and a burglar is in my house…I better not find your ass sitting out in the yard on your damn phone.
From Yukon, Oklahoma
Mr. Davenport directed the intruder to crawl to the front yard and started calling for help. Either he didn’t feel comfortable reaching for his cell phone, or (more likely) he didn’t happen to be surgically attached to it.
“He started pleading, ‘I just wanted some water, please sir, let me go, I’ll never come back,’” said Mr. Davenport. But he didn’t feel like playing catch-and-release. “I just got mad. You don’t get to come in my house.”
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before a jogger came across the situation and was able to help, using her telephone to call 9-1-1 and also (since it’s 2018) snap a glamour shot…err, gather photographic evidence of Mr. Davenport and the perp.
Why do they always get thirsty?
From Indianapolis, IN
This here is from one of TSO’s neighbors. Ya’ll be careful in dem neck of the woods.
Police in Indiana believe a pet pig might’ve thwarted would-be robbers from burglarizing a home in Indianapolis.The thieves broke into the home this week and “completely damaged [the back] door,” the homeowner, who wished to remain anonymous, told Fox 59.
Whoever broke in, however, didn’t steal anything, and police apparently suggested the family’s pet pig, named Dumplin, is to blame.The woman told the news station she adopted Dumplin from a rescue last year, calling him the “perfect animal.”
“The moment I saw him I knew he loved me instantly,” she said, encouraging others to adopt the “tons of pigs in shelters that don’t have homes.”

A shot to the face will definitely put a thugs criminal career into a stall.
“I hate that ringing in the ears, but statistics have shown that criminals will stop what they are doing when shot in the face.”
Yeah, this kind of line is why I love this website…
Love the “clues” in the first story. The only clue missing was a billboard or flashing neon sign reading, “Burglar Inside.” I also enjoyed the piggy story, especially that part about there being tons of pigs for adoption. Don’t Hoosiers eat bacon?
My wife has two “mini” pigs. I hope they are prepared to defend the homestead in our absence. And they have a self waterer. Being the smart creatures that they are, maybe they will give a thirsty perp a drink and send them on their way.
Finally, a NY cop who can hit a target. Of course, the distance was probably three feet and he may have fired 10 rounds for one hit. The story doesn’t say. I can’t get the song “Singing in The Rain” out of my head now, sung with the words, “Ringing in My Ears.”
But you don’t understand – the cop was aiming at his leg!
“tons of pigs in shelters that don’t have homes”
I beleive they call them stys.
the term you are looking for is bacon ranch…LOL
Great, now you have me thinking about bacon.
Tons of pigs in shelters? Well, if one of them is a 10-year-old tusker with a bad attitude toward home invaders, I’d take him in a heartbeat.
The rest of them? Bacon seeds. Ham bulbs. They’re cute when they’re piglets, but as they grow up to their full potential, the possibility of a 475-pound hog watching reruns of ‘Hooterville’ or ‘Tales From The Crypt’ on my sofa is not my idea of a good time.
Aside from being exceptionally smart and able to sniff out fungi such as truffles and edible mushrooms, I do not know why people want pigs as pets. I will never understand this.
A properly farmed pig, given a chance, will find an apple tree with low hanging fruit, wait until the apples have reached the proper age for hard cider production, and butt the tree as hard as it can to give himself a chance to become completely inebriated. And there is nothing quite as funny as a drunken hog.
Well, when I think about one former son-inlaw… that one-eyed tit,-useless cocksucker probably would have wanted to discuss feelings or Barbra fucking Streisand and if given a gun, a four year old probably would have taken it and stuck it in his ass. Some people need to stay outside on the phone.
Cry Havoc! And let slip the pigs of war.
I just flashed on Christopher Plummer as General Chang doing the line that way … LOL
“The woman told the news station she adopted Dumplin from a rescue last year……..”
Dumplin?? I guess calling the pig “Porkie” was just too insensitive. He probably would have had to waddled into his safe sty if he had been tagged with that name.
Why do they always get thirsty?
I think the meth does that to them, or so I have been told. It rips their metabolism up and they overheat, or so say the experts.
Bacon seeds and ham bulbs. Can always find a home for them. Some disassembly required.
