A few minutes later, 48-year-old Bruce Jolly called police to tell them that he&#8217;d been shot at a neighbor&#8217;s house. Bruce not-so-Jolly-now is resting up in the hospital while the prosecutor weighs which charges to proffer. <\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, I finally have a morning where I can find no feel good stories. But, there is a story from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.punchng.com\/metro-plus\/vigilante-shoots-self-dead-while-scaring-away-thieves\/\">the State of Lagos<\/a> which should serve as a warning for those of you inclined to fire warning shots. A fellow who was in his local neighborhood watch, fired a warning shot at some car thieves and it ricocheted off of something, struck him in the head, and he was DRT. If you don&#8217;t aim at your intended target, at least pay attention to what you are aimed at. Bullets don&#8217;t know that you don&#8217;t intend to kill something.<\/p>\n<p>There is something to feel good about this morning, though. James Rankin of <a href=\"http:\/\/citizensvoice.com\/news\/suit-filed-by-robbery-suspect-shot-by-police-gets-dismissed-1.1954852\">New Castle, Pennsylvania<\/a>, near Wilkes-Barre, filed a civil suit against police there for violating his civil rights. He had beat and repeatedly used stun guns on his victims while he was robbing them. Then when confronted by the police, he made a motion towards his waist band, like he had a gun. They shot him in the torso and now he&#8217;s paralyzed from the waist down. Anyway, a judge dismissed his lawsuit. So, I feel good about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew sends us our story this morning from Overbrook, Kansas, where a woman called police to &hellip; <a title=\"Friday morning feel good stories\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=62244\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Friday morning feel good stories<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40242,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[218],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feel-good-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=62244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
