Armed dad stops carjackers, follows them through Old Brooklyn neighborhood
By Kelly Kennedy
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A father from Old Brooklyn took crime-fighting into his own hands, and it has the neighborhood talking.The man, who asked not to be identified, was returning home with his wife on Tuesday night when he noticed two men trying to break into his cars.
The father, knowing his daughter was home alone, took action.
“I had two pizzas on my lap, so I kind of threw them up on the dash,” he said.
As they approached him and his wife, the man pulled a gun on the suspects.
The two young men ran off. So, the dad hopped in his truck and followed them from his home on Buechner Avenue.
Surveillance video from his neighbor’s camera shows the man trailing the suspect.
“They were kind of like jumping through the yards, so I was catching a glimpse of them here and they would disappear for a second.”
He caught up to the crooks at an auto repair shop, then they ran and jumped into a waiting Chevy Traverse.
“I think we’re more angry than anything, it’s just like almost violating.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I think if we want to keep it a good neighborhood we’re gonna have to fight.”

One idiot inconvenienced and three in the wind, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. An “In the Wind” trifecta? I’ll leave it up to you, Gentle Readers.
Category: Feel Good Stories
“In the wind trifecta”? Yeah maybe. Or we could score it a future full house with a pair of dumbasses leaking fluids and 3 of a kind that will show back up…eventually. Just a little curious how the reporter knew the Detroit perp was 20. And it is obvious that the hood rats were out in force…again!
Those that jumped from perfectly good airplanes at higher than diving board level needs a parachute…that is, if they want to jump out of another perfectly good airplane. And as nice as the FG 42 may have been, I would still take the designs of his most Saintliness JMB and his B.A.R.
Bring on the phonies…and the conceal carry for ladies.
That first story is a real head-scratcher. Too many WTF moments. And I ain’t linking to the NYSlime to read the rest of the propaganda.
I hear ya, Tox. I post ’em where I can find ’em.
Actually, that link is not to a “NYSlimes” article, it is a link to NWTimes.com, which is a Shotcago, IL publication/website. The head-scratcher in that the article, which is verbatim what AW1 posted, is that the son was packing a pistol, even though unloaded, since he and the shooter were once classmates in middle school. That means they were both under 21 and prohibited both state and federal law from possessing handguns. From the mugshot of the 17 year old shooter and those that follow of other recent area arrests, I would speculate that everyone involved in said incident was of the non-melanin challenged variety. Scroll through the mugshots and you will see what I mean. So, daddy was letting his 17 or 18 year old son have a handgun (even if unloaded) that sonny had a habit of handing to his homies. Looks like a formula for some future felonies to me. But in Shotcago, this is apparently what the yutes do for walking around money instead of a paper route.
You don’t say!
