From the self-solving problems category, we read about a burglar in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who broke into a home with his pal. The home was occupied by a woman and her children. The children began crying and the thief yelled at the woman that she should shut up her kids, then he promptly shot himself in the leg. The criminal then went to the hospital where the victim was brought to identify him.
In the Presidio of Monterey, California, a homeowner had an altercation with two burglars in his home. He fetched his firearm and another struggle ensued and the weapon discharged twice, one time into the torso of the thief. Police took him to the hospital for pre-prison treatment.
An Orange County, Florida resident wounded a burglar in his arm as he forced his way into the home. He’s now at the hospital preparing for his just reward at the hands of the court system.
The owner of a convenience store in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, tackled a knife-wielding thief and held him for police.
First!
ok…well, who hasn’t felt the urge to shoot themselves to have an excuse to get away from crying snotlikkers?
And, None of them scored. self-wounded, wounded by the intended victims, (who became the victors), and just dumb enough to be tackled before he ran. Not a lot of smarts in this box.
That’s part of the definition of a criminal. They ain’t smart enough to hold down a regular well paying job.
I suppose it would be too much to hope for that the PA perp fell on his knife when he was tackled. Oh well.
Fourteen times.
Oh, does that mean I’m finally devoid of the holiday spirit?
Good. Back to my usual dickweed self.
You are true blue dickweed material!
Happy to see the New Year start with the good guys winning.
Pickin’ on kids, for Pete’s sake? Oh, that’s just mean. And look where it got him. Shot himself in the leg. It’s just a shame he didn’t aim a little higher and take himself out of the gene pool.
Happy New Year!!!
He’s still within the time frame that a post injury embolism may form and may yet take him out of the gene pool. Tick tock tick tock.
My money’s on a future lead injection due to recidivism doing that. But who knows?
Shut that kid up! Nope! Weapon or not, I don’t tell my kids to STFU…KARMA..HIS OWN GUN GOT PISSED, IDIOT…
First day of open carry (pistol) in Tejas. Oh my.
New years eve at my local VA Hospital as a volunteer. It amazes at times how young some of these kids (patients) are. Or maybe I’m just so old! ?
What does 63-year-old retired Army MSG say to a 21-year-old soldier who may never walk again?
Thank you. And soldier on.
Well said…
The opposite of a feel good story – Natalie Cole has died at the age of 65. Damn, that lady could sing. RIP.
