Tuesday morning feel good stories.
From RALEIGH, N.C.
Not sure this will make ya “feel good” but it will get your heart pumping this morning.
A store worker has been charged with voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a young man who tried to rob a Raleigh store at gunpoint in July, police say.
Police said that 21-year-old Derrick Malik Wiley was a suspect in the mid-July robbery at the Mini Mart on the 5500 block of Old Wake Forest Road.
Wiley and a store employee exchanged gunfire the night of July 14 and Wiley was shot in the leg, police said.
Police found Wiley about two and a half miles from the store and he died in the 4200 block of Waterbury Road.
The owner of the Mini Mart told CBS 17 two days after the shooting that the incident began when someone outside the store saw a man wearing a mask walking inside, so they called 911.
Once inside, the suspect pointed a gun at the store clerk, who handed over about $400 in cash, the store owner said.
The owner says as the suspect ran outside, the clerk followed him out the door and told the suspect that the police were on their way.
That’s when the suspect shot at the clerk, who then shot back, the store owner said.
Ramy Ramsis Hanna, 47, is charged with voluntary manslaughter after a grand jury returned a true bill of indictment Monday, police said.
From DeLand, FL
A man says he climbed onto a DeLand convenience store’s roof Saturday morning in an attempt to get into the business, because he was thirsty, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
The Woodland Food Mart was closed when Michael Monacelli, 31, told deputies he tried to get inside the store because he was dehydrated and needed something to drink. He tried getting in by breaking a window, the suspect told deputies. Unable to get into the business, Monacelli climbed a tree and onto the roof, according to the arrest report. He told deputies that he then crawled into a hole on the roof for shelter.
“I’m dying. I need help,” the business owner said he heard Monacelli saying.
Deputies said when they arrived, they had trouble hearing Monacelli’s cries for help because he had crawled inside a hole behind the business’s sign. Deputy body camera video captured the encounter. Volusia County Fire Rescue came out and used a ladder to help Monacelli, who was only wearing shorts and socks, get down from the roof, according to the report.
Monacelli repeatedly told EMS and deputies he needed water and was given a bottle of water, the body camera videos shows.
While explaining how he came to be on the roof, a deputy confronted Monacelli about his reasoning, pointing to the full bottle, saying “You’ve had that water for almost 30 minutes and you’ve had two sips of it.”
“I was trying to put your thing first above my hydration,” Monacelli told the deputy, referring to his questions.
As he was being placed into a patrol car, Monacelli said he didn’t even try to climb on the roof, “it just happened.”
Monacelli was cleared by medical personal before he was booked into the Volusia County Jail on charges of attempted burglary and property damage.

Best mugshots by far.
So North Carolina is not friendly to people who engage in self defense?
I think I’ll stick to my funky state with corrupt politicians. They are at least amusing as well as stupid.
Its more like Raleigh area is not friendly to Self Defense. I would say Ramy Ramsis Hanna needs a better lawyer and a change of venue. If you can’t defend yourself while being shot at, when can you?
His mistake was to follow the perp outside. That likely turned it from self defense to an aggressive act.
Grand juries, smh.
I’ve never been on one, nor anyone I know.
Who the hell is that stupid to return bill on someone committing acts of community service?
I swear to nullify any jury I sit on, to spite retarded law.
Florida has been full of, and getting fuller of, ner’do wells for years. NC used to have some sense to it. Strange that NC will allow Antifa types to destroy a War Memorial, but will prosecute someone for self defence. Pity, what the world is coming to.
Nice beam raise with the 24 foot ladder. No bunker gear??
25 September 1862 – USS Kensington, Acting Master Crocker, USS Rachel Seaman, Acting Master Hooper, and mortar schooner USS Henry Janes, Acting Master Lewis Pennington, bombarded Confederate batteries at Sabine Pass, Texas. The action was broken off when the defending troops evacuated the fort, having spiked the guns. Though Sabine City surrendered to Acting Master Crocker the next day and a force under Acting Master Hooper severed communications between Sabine Pass and Taylor’s Bayou by burning the railroad bridge and seized the mail on 27 September, the expedition sent by Rear Admiral Farragut could not occupy the area because there were no troops available for that purpose. As Rear Admiral Farragut noted some three months later, “It takes too much force to hold the places for me to take any more, or my outside fleet will be too much reduced to keep up the blockade and keep the river open” – the two primary missions of the squadron.
The NC Case must have more to it than the paper provides but since grand juries meet ‘secretly’ there is no hope of knowing what the state has until later. In other words, we’ll never know.
I love the observation that the nut case on the roof only took a couple of sips of water in 30 minutes. As if that’s something of value. The guy is a f’n nut.
Roofs are not the best place to look for hydration. (Here’s hoping to never need that bit of trivia.)
I am so disappointed in the NC jury charging Ramy Hannah. Yes, he followed the theif out of the store & spoke to him. The theif then attempts to shoot him. When Mr Hanna returns fire & hits the theif with a gun in the leg that shot at him, he is charged….such Bullshit! Did the theif stop, NO, he ran & bleed out.
