Not all happy news:

On a sad note....

“The suspect was last reported to be in stable condition and is expected to recover.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...picked up by the Houston Fire Department, treated and transported to a local area hospital

"hospital" -- should be "morgue."

[Osage Orange]

Better aim...

[MayflowerMadam]

That poor man. It looks like he’s on oxygen, too. Must’ve looked like an easy target for the “teen”. Maybe he’ll think twice before trying to rob someone.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I never could decide between Veronica or Betty.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Time for the Vet to upgrade his firepower...

“When I was a kid I would watch men with no legs rolling along the sidewalks...”

I have similar memories from Long Beach. A lot of them were selling pencils, I remember my dad always buying some from them. This would be late 40s, early 50s.

It was a sad sight to see half a man down there below all the others, down there at the ground not even coming up to the waist of most people, and then to watch them take off down the sidewalk when they had somewhere to get to.

Nice. It is refreshing to read good news for a change.

I laughed out loud. Is that wrong?

Every fricking time on these gun threads, you armchair QBs and gun snobs gotta butt in.
Why can’t you folks just be happy the potential victim had a gun to protect himself.

Later on in the article is this:

“”The city was also the setting for a horrific attack on an Asian woman who was left paralyzed as a result of being body-slammed during a robbery.””

Also, these perps were ‘teenagers.’ As part of the punishment, paralyze each of the ‘teenagers.’. (Well, one can dream).

I hope he learns a valuable lesson and turns his life around.

If not, I hope his next victim brings an abrupt and permanent end to his “career.”

18-year-old suspect

No name, no photo, no description.

I am guessing Knee-Grow.

Almost certainly it wasn’t a teen, but a ‘youth’. In any case, turned out well enough!

[No name given]

Here’s hoping that “teen” spends the rest of his life behind bars, locked up like an animal at a zoo!

[vpintheak]

That’s too bad. My brother is down there working with a Big car auction company.

Hurricanes are racist.
