One Less Methbilly Dirtbag

Hey McGoo - what was I saying the other day over at Mitchell’s about making sure the house gun fits the lady of the house? Case in point.

KNOXVILLE - A woman shot and killed a man during a South Knoxville home invasion robbery after the intruder had struggled with and shot her husband, authorities said this morning.
A second interloper escaped, apparently uninjured, and was being sought by police.
...
When officers arrived they found Joshua Dexter Watson, 24, of Knoxville dead from multiple wounds administered by a .357-caliber revolver belonging to the homeowners, DeBusk said.

The wounded husband, Jonathan Franklin, age unavailable, was transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center with what police termed non-life-threatening injuries.

DeBusk said two suspects knocked on the door of the home and “then kicked in the door.”

The two intruders struggled with Franklin and one of the suspects shot him.

“During the fight the suspects were demanding at first drugs and then money from the victims,” DeBusk said.

After Franklin was shot, Jamie Franklin, 21, grabbed the household .357 revolver and “fired several rounds striking one suspect more than once in the upper body,” DeBusk said.

Watson has a criminal history that began even before his 18th birthday, records show. He was facing a charge of aggravated robbery in 2004 before he turned 18.

After that, Watson racked up dozens of charges, including drug possession, theft, evading arrest, reckless driving and violation of probation for the aggravated robbery conviction, records show.

No charges have been files against Mrs. Franklin, and as my non-yankee friends tell me, the cops have most likely returned her gun already. Too bad she didn’t at least wing the other perp.

And that’s how these things are done on this side of the pond. Hey Brits - notice how the felon was not given a free flat to live in, free medical care, free counseling, 3 rounds of Kumbayah, and a free lawyer to sue the homeowner with. The only thing he gets for free is a few shovels full of dirt and a cardboard box in Potter’s Field. Because she didn’t miss. Several times she didn’t miss. No word on whether the ammunition was .38s or .357s. They are both the same “caliber”.

It just seemed like it belonged here Drew ...

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
