Dept. Of Righteous Shootings

Just south of Chicago in Joliet, some choirboy armed himself with a screwdriver and some evil intent, and broke into a house occupied by a young woman and her little daughter.  Not knowing his intentions but making a good guess about them, the young mother shot the asshole in the head, sending his already-low IQ to zero and his body temperature to room-level.

Because this was in Joliet and not in the City Of Chicago, the police apparently muttered a couple of complimentary words about her fine placement, then did their job and carted the corpus delicti  off to the crematorium or wherever.

And if this story and its happy ending does not give you the Warm & Fuzzies, then we can’t be friends.

Many thanks to Reader Brad_In_IL for the link.


A few notes:  in some jurisdictions, Our Heroine would have been in trouble for her actions, using “disproportionate force” (whatever that means) — like she should have rummaged around in a toolbox and found a screwdriver to protect herself instead of using an eeeevil gun.  I know;  that sounds so stupid, but that is nevertheless the attitude of law enforcement and/or government in those places.

In the United States of America, however, we do not share the sentiments of Massachusetts and New York, never mind Britishland and other gun-fearing shitholes of similar inclination.

Oh lookee, a twofer:

One from King County WA (Seattle area!) and another in Phoenix AZ:

An alleged intruder in King County, Washington, died after a woman opened fire on around 2 a.m. Monday morning.  The woman called the King County Sheriff’s Office and told them she shot a man was allegedly trying to enter her home.

Deputies arrived to find an unconscious man lying in the driveway. The wounded suspect died later in a hospital.

Then:

A Phoenix, Arizona, homeowner shot and killed an alleged burglar Sunday morning shortly before 8 a.m. The homeowner shot the alleged burglar while on a 911 call with police.

I love the smell of dead goblin in the morning.  It smells like… justice.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be wanting a cigarette after reading this lovely little story — even if like me you don’t smoke.

An intruder who used brass knuckles to beat against a front door and break a window just before midnight Friday in Missouri was shot multiple times by the homeowner and killed.

KFVS 12 reported that the homeowner, Austin Glastetter, was in the house with his wife at the time of the incident.

Glastetter told the suspect, 31-year-old John Fisher, that he was armed, but Fisher allegedly responded by saying, “You’ll have to kill me.”

Wait, wait, hold it in for just a minute…

Glastetter then shot Fisher multiple times.

And:

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office issued a release noting that deputies arrived on the scene to find Fisher deceased.

Smoke ’em if you got ’em…

From Chicago, no less.  Read it all, but here’s the executive summary:

Just 18 minutes before the shooting, around 10:30 p.m., a gunman robbed a man near the corner of Fulton and Kilpatrick in Austin and drove off with the victim’s gray 2025 Toyota Corolla, according to a preliminary CPD report.

At approximately 10:43 p.m., two women were robbed at gunpoint in the 2500 block of West Haddon in Humboldt Park. The victims, both 27, told police they were outside when a car pulled up, and a man exited the vehicle with a firearm, a CPD spokesperson said. The man demanded their valuables and fled with the victims’ purses, phones, and wallets.

For his third and final act, the robber steered the hijacked Toyota onto the 1400 block of North Artesian at 10:48 p.m. He decided to try to rob a 36-year-old concealed carry holder who was unloading a vehicle on the block, according to CPD.

As the robber displayed a gun and demanded the victim’s property, the victim drew his own firearm and shot the robber multiple times in the chest and head. EMS transported the robber to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

I’ve heard of the “three strikes” principle, but this one takes the cake.  Clearly, our little 18-year-old choirboy played his property redistribution game just one time too many.

And if you didn’t get the giggles at the “multiple shots to the chest and head” thing, we can’t be friends.

…and in today’s story, a reminder:  “Never Bring An Axe To A Gunfight“:

In Duplin County, NC an alleged intruder trying to break through a back door with an axe died after homeowners opened fire, shooting him numerous times.  Deputies arrived on scene to find David Bradley White “lying on his back at the bottom of some steps with multiple gunshot wounds.”  White was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Numerous times” heheheheh….

And as this happened in rural North Carolina, the cops patted the shooters on the back, thanked them for saving the cost of a trial, rolled up the late choirboy and stuck him in the trunk, and left.

Rough Justice

As Longtime Readers know, I’ve always been something of a cheerleader when it comes to citizens defending themselves against the predations of the lawless.  And of course, the concept of “righteous shootings”, so often celebrated on these pages, is very much part of that cheerleading.

But it’s not just guns.  Let’s go with this happy little tale from South Africa:

A raging mother beat a rapist to death with the help of an angry mob after finding her disabled daughter undressed at his house in South Africa.

The 44-year-old – who has been dubbed ‘warrior woman’ in her village – arrived home after shopping in Cacadu, Eastern Province, last month to find her 20-year-old girl missing.

Neighbors told her [the daughter] was last seen walking with a 65-year-old local man to his house and when she stormed in she found the pair in a state of undress on the bed.

A furious mob who had followed the woman – who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim – also entered the suspect’s small holding and witnessed the scene.

And the good news:

The mother was arrested and charged with murder but has now been cleared following a public outcry. 

I should bloody well hope so.

Here’s another story of a goblin getting what was coming to him:

Investigators say a possible intruder at home in Coweta County was mauled to death by the homeowner’s dogs. They say the resident returned home Friday morning and discovered a dead man on his front porch.  

An autopsy confirmed the cause of death as a dog attack. Investigators say the evidence indicates the man was inside where the dogs were located at some point but died outside the home.

I’m assuming that the “evidence” included bits of the intruder found inside the home.  And:

No charges are expected against the home owner.

Once again, I should bloody well hope not.

Here’s the not-so-good aftermath, however:

Authorities had seized the dogs as part of the investigation. It has not yet been determined what happens next for them.

I’m thinking they should each be given a tasty (animal, this time) bone to chew on as a reward — but that’s not the way to bet, because the dogs may well be slaughtered, just for doing their job.

And sadly, unlike in the earlier story, there’ll be no public outcry to save them.  Here’s a pic of our two Heroes:

Imagine the look on the burglar’s face when these two puppies ran at him… and if that visual doesn’t put a smile on your face, I can’t help you.
