Spend the next hour or so watching a guy rehabbing a WWII-era building, all by himself.
I promise you, it’s worth it. Bravo, Luxon. I’d rent the place — hell, add a small shooting range and I’d live there.
And if the last couple of minutes don’t make your mouth water, you’re better man than I am.
Don’t know how I missed this one, right here in Texas. Apparently, some choirboy decided that all he needed to rob a bank was a knife, and indeed, it kinda was. All was going to plan, except that one of the bank’s customers didn’t think that this little wealth redistribution plan was acceptable, drew his trusty carry piece and shot the fucker dead.
Lesson learned: Using a knife to rob a bank: not the best instrument, at least in a state where customers are likely armed with guns and have a proper sense of right and wrong.
(Thanks to Reader Brad, who sent this news to me from his private fortress in deep-blue Illinois — where an action such as the above would have landed Our Hero in deep trouble.)
Several Readers sent me this happy tale, thankee all:
An alleged intruder is dead after being shot multiple times by a Spartanburg County, South Carolina, homeowner around 2 a.m. Sunday morning.
Wait… multiple times?
I’d like to know a lot more details about this happy episode, e.g. the gun used, cartridge, exactly where the choirboy’s worthless hide was perforated, but I guess we’re not going to be told any of that. [pout]

I have no idea how I stumbled onto Bangers & Cash, but I love it (for very obvious reasons). An old-fashioned, gentle TV show about old-fashioned, gentle people talking about old-fashioned, gentle cars.
They talk about them, they restore them, they fix them, and they drive them. It gives me a chance to go back in time, revel in nostalgia… and the only thing missing is a pint or two of Wadworths 6X at my right hand.
It’s all so different from today’s normal frenzied, clickbait-driven fare, which is why I enjoy it so. Join me, if you will. (link in logo below)
From sunny south Florida comes this lovely story:
A delivery food driver in Miami Gardens, Florida, managed to pull his gun and fatally shoot an alleged armed robber in self-defense around 1:40 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
The driver claimed he was delivering food when he was targeted for an alleged armed robbery. During the course of the incident, the driver pulled his gun and shot one of the suspects. Responding officers and medical personnel attempted to save the suspect’s life but he died at the hospital.
And the other scrote?
The deceased suspect has not been identified but police described the second suspect in the alleged armed robbery as 28-year-old Jabari Thomas, who is being held on no-bond at the Broward County Sheriff’s Office Jail.
Too bad Our Hero didn’t get a twofer, but let’s not let perfection be the enemy of the good, shall we?
