Happy Ending......
« on: October 29, 2007, 07:11:31 AM »
Don't you just love a story with a happy ending.................

Dallas - Dallas police say a man in a wheelchair disarmed and fatally shot a home intruder with the intruder's own gun.
The shooting happened just before 3a.m. Friday at the man's apartment in the Village Oaks Apartments in the Fruitdale neighborhood, south of downtown Dallas.
Investigators say the man was able to wrestle the gun away from the intruder and shoot him.  The suspected burglar died a short time later at Baylor University Medical Center.
No identities have been released.  Police say the case will be submitted to a Dallas County Grand Jury for review, but no charges will be filed.

Was at the VA clinic last week for an appointment.  Met an old gentleman that was there to also for an appointment.  He was telling me how two young men jumped him as he went left a restaurant going to his truck a couple of days before.  They kicked his crutches out from under him so he would fall on the ice.  Then one of them bent over to grab him.  The old man jammed his crutch with the ice pick end into his throat and twisted.  This action ripped the guys throat open, and blood started shooting out.  He then swung the other crutch catching the second incoming person in the shin, causing him to fall.  Then the old man raised to his knees and proceeded to beat the young man on the ground with his crutch swinging it like a bat.  The old man concentrated on the rib area.  The young man getting beat rolled out of reach and ran away holding his sides.  The first young man ran into the road and was picked up by a car.  The Vet then went back inside the restaurant and called the police to report the assault.  The first young man was found at the hospital getting his throat fixed.  He ratted out the second one.  Both were arrested. 

After the Vet went down and identified them, the police officer told them they were lucky.  "That old man is a Vietnam Vet, a trained killer.  He could eat punks like you for lunch".  The Vet said he smirked and quietly hobbled away on his crutches.

When I met him at the VA clinic his ego was running high, but his back and shoulders were really hurting him.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Too bad he could not have killed them. Punks like this that would attack a man on crutches sure as heck will never learn from their actions. We can only hope some one shoots them in their acts of crime.  >:(

Well said Billy!  Did you guys hear of the gentleman that owns a scrap yard in Dallas?  He shot and killed two intruders in the span of 3 weeks.  He also lives at his place of business and has reported over 40 attempted break-ins to the Dallas PD.  My favorite part of the story is when a reporter for a local news station ambushed him in the parking lot of an Academy store (as he purchased another shotgun) sparked outrage from gun owners and the community at large.  She was very condescending and even asked him if he was trigger happy.  Needless to say the tv station was flooded with email and phone calls and the reporter was suspended and will probably be let go.  As for the gentleman, the police said they did not plan on filing charges as he was within his legal right to defend himself (Castle Doctrine) although it was under review with a Grand Jury.  I love when the liberal media is kept in check.  It doesn't happen enough, but when it does it sure is nice.  Just another "Happy Ending" to share with ya'll.   ;D

Or some states too! I know when I lived out in WA state for a year I was supprised on how folks who settled issues with guns got by with things that never could have worked in WI or other points back east.  One point and not sure if this still is valid as it was over 30 years ago. Back in 76 when I was there I was cutting shake bolts for a family operation that were friends of mine. A bunch of us moved from WI to WA to go to work out there.  Back then a lot of theivery was going on as you could put a cord of shake bolts in a pickup truck and get damn near 400 bucks for that wood. More or less depending on the market. Anyway we if the wood was not picked up at the landing we could go and guard it with what ever firearm you had to your disposal. I was friends with the cops in the town I lived in and they offered me a riot gun to borrow if I wanted it when I told them I was going to go and guard our wood. In Wi shooting some one over a woodpile would get you a prison term. Back there then it was no different then guarding thing else that belonged to you.

Did you also read that the man in the wheelchair was ARRESTED for outstanding warrants?

DEE:  Read it in the paper here in Alaska, but no mention of any warrants or subsequent arrest.

It was a short news clip on local radio. They were unrelated, to the shooting but, I could have misunderstood. It was played down here for the most part.

Didn't hear anything about him being arrested for other warrants, regardless, I still applaud him for a job well done.

The funny thing is that some people believe only liberals will distort the news to suit their agenda... Here's so more to that story, including the names of the parties:

Looks like two drug dealers fighting it out...  How very noble
