Category: Feel Good Stories

Sorry, but my Google-foo skills turned up none of our traditional feel good stories about homeowners who took down criminals with their own firearms, but there was an exciting car chase through the streets of Los Angeles on Friday, where a home invasion burglar tried to evade police at speeds over a 100 miles per hour, running stop sins, narrowly missing pedestrians and driving the wrong way on the freeway, so the police employed a sniper shooting from a helicopter to stop the reckless fellow.

The photo at the link shows a shattered windshield from multiple rounds. The Associated Press reports that the burglar bailed out of the vehicle and took off running while the unpiloted auto smashed into a truck. Burglar Boy ran a short distance before he collapsed and he was DRT (dead right there).

There’s a story from Jackson, Mississippi where 20-year-old Deion Hicks shot 19-year-old Christopher Silas when they engaged in an altercation related to street racing. Silas died as a result. While a police officer was rolling up Hicks, and unknown shooter shot Hicks twice in the chest and leaving the officer unharmed. That police officer is making more permanent arrangements for Hicks’ accommodations when he gets out of the hospital and they’re looking for their secret shooter.

In Nashville, Tennessee, an alert neighbor saw a strange truck pull up to house and a man attempt to steal a trailer from the home. The neighbor pulled his own truck up to block the stranger from driving away and confronted the three suspects with his firearm. Two un-assed the AO, but the third accepted his fate and waited for the arrival of the local constabulary.

In Harrison County, Kentucky, two men tried to turn their lives around with property from another fellow’s home. The other fellow had different ideas and made one of the two DRT (dead right there) and the other un-assed the AO and police are still looking for him so they can pin homicide charges on him.

In Franfort, Illinois, an armed, masked, tall man accosted a convenience store clerk until the clerk pulled out his own firearm, which caused the masked man to un-ass the AO. No one was injured and police are still looking for the tall fellow.

In Rockford, Illinois, police arrived at the scene of a burglary, with one of the burglars lying in a pool of blood outside the home. He was DRT. The homeowner had apparently been robbed a few short weeks before. This ought to put an end to that.

A good day for the forces of good.

In San Pedro, California, a homeowner is being held by the police after he found an intruder in his home and rang his bell with a firearm. The intruder was DOT (dead over there) at the hospital. I guess no one with a gun in California isn’t guilty of something or other.

On Thursday, we talked about a 59-year-old man in New Mexico who wrested the gun from a home invader and DRT’d him. Turns out that the victim was a stank-ass hippie and a pacifist, according to his lawyer, and oh, by the way, when the police searched his home, they found more than 200 marijuana plants. But, it’s funny how that pacifism dissipates when a criminal shoots you.

There’s a brief story from Durham, North Carolina about a fellow invading a home and becoming DRT (dead right there) as a result of an armed resident. The resident was slightly injured according to the article.

In Houston, Texas, a man went to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment to just talk to her, but hearing another man’s voice coming from inside the apartment, he decided that kicking down her door would repair their lost love. The other man inside also spoke in gunfire and shot the old boyfriend four times. Old boyfriend is recovering in the hospital, and new boy friend isn’t being charged. I’m a sucker for these love stories.

In Athens, Ohio, three stoners tried to steal some marijuana plants belonging to another stoner, so the resident fired warning shots near them and held them until the police came, because stoners are too lazy to run anyway.

In Dallas, Texas, a homeowner saw some enterprising young folks trying to cash in on his wheels on his vehicle, so Mister Spoil Sport, thinking he saw a gun, opened fire on the group, who fled in another vehicle. Mr Meany Homeowner thinks he may have hit at least one of hard-working young people.

In Plactias, New Mexico, a 59-year-old homeowner struggled with an intruder for the intruder’s gun. When he finally wrested the firearm from the bad guy, he proceeded to ventilate the fellow. Neighbors reported hearing several gun shots. The intruder was DRT (dead right there) and the homeowner went to the hospital to get his own injuries from the altercation treated. It’s nice when the bad guys bring the tool for their ultimate demise with them to the scene of the crime.

In Uniontown, Pennsylvania, three fellows thought they could easily turn their lives around with the property of a single woman. They forced their way into her home, so she called the police and her boyfriend. The boyfriend arrived at the scene first, so that when the police arrived, they found two of three intruders bleeding in the vicinity of the home. The third fellow un-assed the AO leaving his partners restfully bleeding out. It looks like the two will recover.

In Corpus Christi, Texas, two teenage girls called their mother when they heard someone trying to break into their house. Mom hurried home and found the girls unarmed outside the home calling police. Mom then went inside and confronted the three men. As two squirted out of the house, she had a physical altercation with the third. A neighbor saw the action and joined in bringing her own fire extinguisher to bear on the situation. The third fellow tried to make his getaway on his bicycle, but the police rolled up on him.

Ladies, don’t try this at home. She should have stayed outside with her girls until the police got there. I’m glad it all worked out for her, but she’s very lucky. The third fellow, Ruben, is going to have a tough time in jail when his mates find out that he was beat up by a woman or two.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, has been in quite a few of our feel good stories lately, so here’s another brief one. A car thief was ventilated when he tried to steal an auto at a motel. He was critically injured when the first responders sent him to the hospital while police prepare more permanent accommodations for him.

In Indianapolis, Indiana, a clerk had just finished locking up his gas station and convenience store when he was approached by three men. When they demanded money, he pulled out his firearm and sent a bullet their way, which sent the three men running. They returned fire, but no one was injured.

In Florence Township, New Jersey, 42-year-old Robert Marshal forced his way into a home with a knife, but he ran into a resident with a gun. In a struggle, the victim was stabbed and Marshal was shot in the arm. After the police arrived, they found Marshal hiding in a closet. Now he’s hiding in the corner of his cell at the Burlington County jail.

An 85-year-old in Tulsa, Oklahoma called police to let them know that there was a burglar in his home. When police arrived, they found the victim with a gunshot wound to his “pelvic area” and he was bleeding from a blow to his head. However, you should see the other guy. The retired burglar had been shot twice in his torso, had a punctured lung and it’s reported that his spine had been severed. He was in critical condition. The reporter says that, although police know that the victim shot the bad guy, they weren’t sure if the bad guy shot the victim at press time.

In Pembroke Pines, Florida, five people tried to turn their lives around in a home invasion, but a resident saw them coming and greeted them at the door with celebratory gun fire. Struck by the greeting, 23-year-old Milot Desir did somersaults down the stairway and he was declared DOT when he arrived at the hospital. His four friends are counting their blessings in the hoosegow.
