Wednesday feel good stories
From Detroit, MI
A man was shot with his own gun Saturday when a man he allegedly tried to rob wrestled the gun away from him on Detroit’s west side.
Police said the victim, a 29-year-old man, was sitting in his vehicle with his family in front of a home in the 5000 block of Pacific Avenue when a man approached him and announced a holdup about 11:15 p.m. The victim wrestled the gun away from the man trying to rob him. During the confrontation, the attempted robber was shot in the buttocks, police said.
From Pleasantville, CA
An intruder who boldly walked into a home in Pleasantville and attempted to rob the family was shot dead with his own weapon on Monday. The homeowner, Marlon Williams, was also wounded and remains in stable condition at the San Fernando General Hospital. Police said the man who is yet to be identified entered the house located at Ixora Lane at around 5.30pm.
Williams’ mother, Carol Williams, was sitting in the living room. “The man walked into the house, passed Carol and went into a back room. I don’t think he knew Marlon was in the bedroom. He pulled the gun on Marlon and asked for money and jewellery. But Marlon resisted and there was a struggle,” a neighbour said. Police said Williams, 29, overpowered the gunman and they both fell to the ground. Three shots were fired in the struggle. Police said Williams was grazed in the head with a bullet.
The intruder was shot in the abdomen and chest. He died in the family’s bedroom. Williams was taken to hospital in an ambulance.

All we need are some names; Claw and the wheel are gonna have a field day with this crop of cabbage patch kids.
Yep, so sad. No Names. The Whiz Wheel™® was so looking forward to applying the SIBLDAM* multiplier this morning.

Does getting shot by your own gun take away your street cred? Asking for a potential thug.
No, unless it was taken from you when you attempted to rob someone with it, in which case you’ve been punked and that’s a life brand.
Thanks for clearing that up. So one is now a dumb ass punk for life and the other is punked DOT. A good start.
Where you hit?
In the Buttocks…
Oh, that must be a sight…
Article the 1st: man gets shot in the patootie with his own gun. Does not answer the obvious question: why were those people sitting in their car in front of their house at 11:15PM in Detroit, MI? Were they discussing bidness, or deciding who’s on first?
Article the 2nd: fellow boldly goes where he should not go, and gets shot with his own gun, after falling to the ground int he back room. Does this mean that the back room doesn’t have a floor? Just tryin’ to understand here.
So we have a twofer today, too? Fine by me. It would be even better if a 3rd midget-brain was shot in his personal spot with his own gun. Then he could no longer reproduce. I know: that is SO anti-humanish of me.
Moving on….
And the article used the British spelling of neighbor; not even Tar Heels who keep their spare tires in the boot do that.
And falling to the floor was a wrestling takedown, which I think is two points; but that’s kinda moot.
Why the first family was still in the car? Maybe there was a Marvin Gay song on the radio; maybe the kids had just asked one of those questions—the serious kind that have to be answered or the kind that make you double over with laughter.
You guys made me laugh this morning.
Scared the cat!
Thank you!
Actually, the crook in article 3 is DRT winner.
Article 3? One of us is seeing things.

“Pinellas sheriff to Al Sharpton: ‘Go back to New York. Mind your own business.”:
https://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/Pinellas-sheriff-to-Al-Sharpton-Go-back-to-New-York-Mind-your-own-business-_170655548
“Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said Monday that the Rev. Al Sharpton should “go back to New York” and mind his own business after the national civil rights activist’s visit to Clearwater over the weekend to address the shooting of Markeis McGlockton.
“It’s a bunch of rhetoric. I don’t pay much attention to it to tell you the truth,” the sheriff said when asked for his reaction to Sharpton’s appearance at the end of an unrelated news conference in St. Petersburg. “I wasn’t there, and I don’t really care what Al Sharpton has to say. Go back to New York. Mind your own business.”
Sharpton was met by hundreds of people Sunday during his stop at St. John Primitive Baptist Church in Clearwater as he pressed local leaders to file charges against Michael Drejka, the white man who shot McGlockton, who is black, during a fight over a convenience store parking space July 19.
Happy to know that Sharpless is not getting quite the ‘attaboys’ he used to get.
I will never forget or fail to be grateful for Al Sharpton’s insightful commentary as a news anchor. He had many fine moments but this may have been his finest:
I wish I could ‘double-like’ things like this.
Thank you!
Sharpton (dullton) is so full of shyt, he can’t get his mouth to work right!
Is there a translator in the house?
Looks like the perp whom was shot in the buttocks will now be the “Butt” of all the jokes in the jail.

“GUN-TOTING GRANDMA SHOOTS MAN ACCUSED OF EXPOSING HIMSELF IN SE HOUSTON
“Police say a man accused of pleasuring himself was shot when he tried to break into a woman’s home in southeast Houston.
The sign outside Granny Jean’s home on Cherrydale says “Save the drama for your mamma.”
By phone, the 68-year-old grandmother told Eyewitness News the drama showed up at her house late Tuesday afternoon, and he was riding a bike.
“Some guy pulled off his pants and pulled his pants open, playing with his thing, and he ran up and I told him to get away from my door, or I will shoot him,” Jean said.
Granny Jean wasn’t playing, but the man wouldn’t take no for an answer, she says.
That is when she grabbed her pistol.
“And he kept coming and reached for my door after it was locked, so I shot through the door,” Jean said.
One shot, and she didn’t miss. The man was struck in the chest by a bullet.
I don’t bother nobody, I don’t get in nobody’s business,” Jean said. “It’s just me and him, and like I keep saying, I warned him.”
Police say the 38 year-old man had to have surgery but he’s expected to be okay. The suspect is no stranger to police.
Investigators tell me the man was arrested last week for running naked around on Bellfort. He was out on bond but found himself at the wrong house on Tuesday.
Mrs. Jean has some words for anyone who wants to bring drama again to her doorstep.
“They better stay away.”
Tasers and magazines are not a good mix. Video NSFW for violence.

It was game over when tased suspect grabbed the pistol in his back pocket.
And the rounds in his mag started cooking off. Cop#1 dropped the taser, drew and fired his service weapon several times. Perp here made several bad life choices, and paid the price.
