It’s Friday and it’s time for some upbeat reading before the weekend officially kicks off!
Houston
Armed robbers, often as not, are really cowards without imparting fear upon their victims with threats of violence. Nothing but utter and complete cowards.
Another illustration of this point happened Tuesday evening in Houston at the “Happy Daze” tobacco shop. A trio of bad guys stormed in with masks on and guns out, intent on robbing the place, according to KHOU.
Unfortunately for them, the clerk saw them approach. Their masks and guns were what the FBI folks would call a clue that the men were up to no good.
Even worse for three robbing stooges (or four suspects as reported by another outlet), Mr. Clerk had a gun too. And he knew how to use it.
They got no more than six feet in and the clerk fired three shots, striking the leader in the chest and abdomen.
The hoodlums immediately abandoned their dynamic entry – sensing it to be a little too dynamic for their tastes inside the business – and retreated to the getaway car outside. The leader, having suffered some ballistic therapy, was a little slow getting to their ride. His brave compatriots didn’t bother to stop and help him into the car.
They didn’t even wait for him. Instead, they sped away, leaving their leaky leader to finish leaking out on the pavement, thinking about his poor career choice before fading to black.
He should have picked another career path and better friends.
Sullivan County, TN
Ronald Dykes had just finished repairs from an April home intrusion when a perpetrator forced his way through another window at 2a.m. Sunday.
The seasoned citizen grabbed his gun after hearing the commotion and popped a cap or two into the intruder.
Mr. Intruder decided it would be a good time to exfiltrate expeditiously.
In an amazing coincidence, a man showed up at a nearby hospital complaining of a gunshot wound. Charges are pending against the man who checked himself into the hospital.
The media report from WCBY badly misstated Tennessee’s “Stand Your Ground” law in the story:
Detectives continue to investigate a home invasion that ended in a shooting early Sunday morning in Sullivan County. The homeowner, Ronald Dykes, said he shot the suspect because he believed his life was in danger. That statement is important in this case. Because Dykes felt his life was in danger, the law allows him to protect himself.
…In Dyke’s case, he’s protected by Tennessee law.
Mr. Dyke’s statement, standing by itself, does not protect him from prosecution. It’s the fact the the circumstances of the incident would lead a reasonable and prudent person to believe that Mr. Dykes reasonably believed he faced the danger of death or great bodily injury.
Aurora, CO
Proving the old adage about ammunition for concealed carry: It’s a lot like taking bubble gum to school. You better have enough to go around or you’re going to be in big trouble.
Such was the case in Aurora, CO, according to WKVR. Three misguided youths thought they were going to welcome a trio of guys moving household goods into someone’s new apartment residence by pulling a gun on them and taking their money.
One of the three would-be victims pulled his heater instead of his wallet and opened up, scoring hits on each of the three young men who were just turning their lives around and destined to cure cancer someday.
None of the victims were injured, however the future Nobel Prize winners for medicine weren’t so lucky. Dewayne Lamonte Quenvell Brown, aged 15, eventually expired from his perforations. The other two were hospitalized but their identities were not released.
Here’s a photo of young Dewayne Lamonte Quenvell Brown, would-be Nobel Laureate:
Oh yeah.
And would it surprise you to know he posted the photo below as his profile picture five days before he was shot dead?
Thank heavens that concealed carry licensee put an end to this two-bit thug’s career before he could hurt someone.
Dead shitbirds.
Now that is cause for a smile.
Lamonte Quenvell? Is that a famous African tribal leader I didn’t know about or did his momma roll that in a game of Scrabble?
It’s just what a normal name sounds like via ebonics.
Lol. I think it is how illiterate people spell.
So, what you’re saying is, it’s OKAY to be racist here, but don’t dare besmirch the “honor” of your boys in blue?
Okay, I think I got it now!
C’mon, John, quit focusing on der affiken amewwiken bad guys. It’s starting to make you look, er, a little skewed.
Applying the same “logic” to your worship of cop/killers, you really can’t paint a whole tribe with a broad brush. Find us some white and/or white histpanish shooters, willya?
Mwah
do your own research, mr. mental midget, find your own caucasion perps, dimwit, in fact, why don’t you start your own cop hating blog where you can advocate for the asassinations you so desire? nobody would ever read it but you and your hatefull f-rat brothers, maybe it would keep you busy enough we would never see your hatefull blather on here again, at least I can hope so.
Hey, Down Low Mary!! What’s shaking!?
That’s DR. to you, dimwit!
And, I don’t have to start a “cop hating blog” (now, why would a blog hate a cop?), because there’s a worldwide one, already, called YOUTUBE!!
Just google it. bwahahahaha.
You go on der youtube, type in, “cop shooting” and there’s eight million instances of bad cops doing what bad cops do.
See you later, downlow mary!

so you already have your hateful blog, stay on your favorite hateful site, spread your hate there for all to see.
After around 400 years of being exposed to civilization,they are still not ready for the prime time.LMAO
They are ready. Just look at our girlie muslim leader.
Good shooting, folks.
With the exception of the ones who didn’t get their genes bleached out of the gene pool.
What’s up with young black males and their propensity for criminal violence?
15 years old with a stolen pistol, robbing people. Now that is some fine parenting skills.
I don’t think this was his first trip down criminal lane either.
