More of this sort of thing doesn’t really happen

“AW1Ed sends us a link to a story in Cinncinati, Ohio, where a victim defended himself from a robbery on the street. The thief, James Mixon, was DRT (dead right there) when the police arrived on the scene.

“3E9 sends us a link from Vicksburg, Mississippi, where Rafael McCloud, a capital murder suspect escaped from jail and forced his way into a home. He tied up the man and wife who lived there and stabbed the man. The homeowner escaped his bonds, got his wife free and they both opened fire on McCloud who was DRT (dead right there) when the police arrived, ending McCloud’s last eight days of freedom. The homeowner was treated for minor injuries.

“In Jacksonville, Florida, Joshua Curry arrived at work late, but just in time for a co-worker to shoot another co-worker. Curry got his legal gun from his car and held the shooter at gun point until the police arrived, probably ending a mass shooting situation. A good guy with a gun at the right place at the right time. I don’t expect that I’ll read about that one in the national media.

“In Midwest City, Oklahoma, an eighteen-year-old woman had a protective order against her 20-year-old ex-boyfriend. I guess he thought it was an invitation, so he broke into her apartment while he was armed and forced himself on her. She was pretty certain of the reason she had filed the protective order, so she shot him. He was DRT (dead right there) when the police arrived to enforce the new order. In an update to the story, it seems that the girlfriend had filed a protective order last year when he tried to assault and kidnap her with a handgun. The order was dismissed when neither showed up for the hearing, and then she recanted her story to the police and charges were dropped. And then she had to kill him.

“An update to the story the other day from Torrance, California where a jeweler killed a fellow who tried to rob his store – the dead fellow was Keon Bailey and it turns out that he was a person of interest in the murder of Louis Giuntini, 95, and Rose Giuntini, 92 in February, 11 days after he was released on parole from prison for burglary, possession of stolen property, rape, grand theft, trespassing and sexual battery. So now he’s gone on to his Great Reward.

“Tim sends us a link to the story in Glendale, Arizona, a teenager was forced to arm himself when a pair of thieves forced their way into his home when he was alone. He pointed a gun at the two and they ran away.”
