Today's Feel Good Stories

Our first story this morning happened in Birmingham, Alabama where an eight-year-old was home alone and he called his father to tell him that three men were trying to break into his house. Dad returned home and found the three guests inside while the boy his in a closet. Dad started busting caps, and when police arrived they found Raheem Stubbs on the floor with gunshot wounds. The cops searched with K9s and couldn’t find anyone. With tips from the public, police found Jarmarcus Boris Stubbs. Raheem was declared DOT (dead over there) at the hospital and Jarmarcus was charged with his murder.

In Hickory, North Carolina, Brian Foster Eckard was going about his business as a burglar when a very rude homeowner shot him twice, once in the arm and again in the back. Eckard went to the nearest bar for treatment, they called him an ambulance and he’s been released from the hospital into the arms of local constabulary. In another story, Eckard appeared in court in a wheelchair. The homeowner said that he didn’t want to shoot Eckard, but that he had no choice. That’s why these are “feel good stories” – they’re about the best possible outcome after the criminals leave innocent civilians with no good choices.
