Righteous Shootings

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]

My Kind Of Show

Drive Time, Old Fartism

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?

Almost Righteous

Good Stuff, Punks

Executive summary:  This miserable scrote decided (for reasons now only known to himself) to go on a little extemporaneous murder of anyone who happened to be within range of his gun, ending up with three dead victims and over half a dozen badly-wounded ones.

He may well have gone on to greater things, but being that this was in Idaho, there happened to be an armed citizen in the immediate area, who jumped out of his car and popped off a shot or two in the scumbag’s general direction.  Said scumbag, alarmed that he might himself be shot and hearing police sirens in the distance, saved Our Hero the cost of an extra bullet and society of legal costs by just wasting [sic]  himself.

Had Our Hero’s aim been true, this would have been Righteous, but he missed, hence the title of this post.

Details are here.

Lesson learned:  you never know when a little trip to get a burger — even at an In-N-Out in Idaho — might put you in the proximity of scum like the above, so whatever the reason, if your trip is a short one always carry your frigging gun.

And, of course, in Vulcan’s name:  practice, practice, practice.

Afterthought:  We should ban In-N-Out Burger restaurants.  After all, if it saves just ONE life…
