Oh boy [sic]:

A mom in Philadelphia should be very proud of her brave 11-year-old son. The young man showed the heart of a lion and tremendous courage when he witnessed over-the-top violence against his mother from her boyfriend and then took action to protect her.

The perp Jaimeer Jones-Walker, aged 30…or old enough to know better, barged into his “girlfriend’s” home. He began screaming at the woman, whose 11-year-old son was right there watching it unfold. Terrorizing a family that wasn’t his to wreck, Jaimeer escalated his verbal attack into a full-on vicious physical assault. Jones-Walker hadn’t been taught not to beat women, but he would soon learn that lesson in a profound way.

According to police reports, as he was physically battering the woman, her 11-year-old son went and grabbed her handgun. The young man acted decisively, shooting the rampaging abuser with a single shot to the face.

As the article goes on to say, the only sucky part of this tale is that the kid is going to have to live with the results of his fine reaction… but however bad it may be, it’s better than having to grow up without a mother.  (I know, there’s no evidence that her scrote of a boyfriend would have killed her, but the stats are on my side for this one.)

In the meantime:

Stop me if you’ve heard this before.  Late at night, a guy wakes up hearing sounds that someone is trying to break into his house.  Then he hears glass breaking. So he grabs his trusty handgun, warns the glassbreaker that he’s armed, but instead of doing the sensible thing and running far, far away, said glassbreaker persists in his intrusive ways.

Whereupon Our Hero does the sensible thing, and shoots the “alleged” intruder in the head, sending the scrote’s body temperature plummeting towards the ambient.  To which we all say:

…even though said Righteous Shooting took place in Pennsylvania.  Whatever.

So down in Arizona, this happened.  Executive summary:  Folks sitting at home doing family things, when an alleged intruder allegedly broke down the alleged front door.  One of the alleged family members happened to have an alleged gun, which he allegedly used to fire multiple shots into the allegedly worthless hide of said alleged intruder, whereupon said shootee’s body temperature allegedly moved quickly to room temperature.

Nothing to see here, move along.

I know that Righteous Shootings, almost by definition, include the term “needed killing” somewhere in the preamble.  But here’s an excellent example of taking out someone who’s just breathing oxygen unnecessarily:

A Vietnam War veteran managed to fend off a deranged, naked intruder who broke into a woman’s California home on Friday morning.

The elderly vet was thrown to the ground by the maniac, fracturing both of his legs before he opened fire and fatally shot the intruder.

Police say the nude suspect had been wandering the neighborhood moments earlier, shouting incoherently and attempting to break into several homes.

LAPD Capt. Warner Castillo told reporters that the suspect eventually forced his way into a residence where a woman and two other people were inside, including the 79-year-old veteran, identified by neighbors only as George.

‘The 79-year-old man tells the suspect to leave, tells him I have a gun and I will shoot you. The suspect grabs the man, lifts him, throws him on the ground, and that’s where the man suffered two broken legs,’ Castillo said.

Despite being in agony having been body slammed to the ground by the intruder, the elderly homeowner managed to grab his firearm. 

And the best part:

Police said the rambling man was shot at least two or three times inside the home before collapsing.

Yeah, but:

‘I think it’s a textbook example of self-defense, and I really, really hope he does not face charges,’ neighbor Betsy Weiss said.

It’s Los fucking Angeles, so anything’s possible — but I think the “two broken legs” thing should cause even an L.A. district attorney to think twice before pressing charges.

But the locals should start warming up the tar and plucking the chicken feathers, just in case.

Now as we all know, cops are usually disqualified from being lauded for a Righteous Shooting because, damn it, it’s their job to shoot scumbags.

However, on this occasion I’m going to give Our Hero a waiver.

A man allegedly tried to carjack an off-duty Harris County deputy’s car Friday afternoon, around 2:45 p.m. in Atascocita, outside of Houston, and was shot dead by the deputy.

Fine, but why the waiver?  Off-duty cops are still on duty if a crime is being committed, right?

Uh huh.  Except that in this case:

FOX News reported that the deputy’s child was in the vehicle at the time the incident occurred.

So he went from being a cop to being a dad protecting his little girl.  Clearly, a case of a Righteous Shooting if ever I saw one.

You may disagree with me, but you’d be wrong.

Alert Reader Eric K. sends me this lovely report:

A preliminary investigation revealed that an unidentified man followed a female customer into a beauty supply store and groped her, prompting employees at the establishment to demand he leave the premises.  

“The male became increasingly verbally assaultive toward employees and customers, “the release noted. “He started throwing and damaging merchandise in the store. The incident escalated rapidly.”  

While the man was reportedly threatening to kill and harm customers and employees, witnesses told investigators that they believed he was armed with a knife.  

“A second customer in the store, fearing for the store employees, herself and other customers, retrieved a personal firearm and fired a warning at the male,” investigators said. “The male turned toward that customer, fearing she was going to be attacked, fired a second shot striking the male.”  

And the result for El Gropo?

L.A. deputies and personnel with the Compton Fire Department responded to the scene where the man was pronounced dead by paramedics.

Details are sketchy at the moment, and as this happened in Southern California things may not turn out too well for Our Heroine.

However bad they may be, it won’t be as bad a result as what happened to the goblin.  Thank goodness.
