On the Lighter Side...

The BLNN doesn't just send in news of the infuriating. Sometimes there's something to make you smile...

Accomplice Accidentally Shoots Would-Be Robber During Florida Home Invasion
MELBOURNE, Fla. – A man involved in a home invasion in Melbourne, Fla., was inadvertently shot by one of his accomplices who was trying to shoot the resident, police told the Orlando Sentinel Sunday.

Cops said 20-year-old Nathaniel James Clay broke in to a house in the 2800 block of Colbert Circle, about 70 miles southeast of Orlando, about 9:40pm Saturday, along with two other men.
Gotta give the homeowner props - taking on three dudes, one armed with a gun, while you just have a baseball bat? I mean, if that's the only tool in your box you do what you can with it. Fortunately for the homeowner, the thug's accomplices are even worse than minute-of-berm and wound up shooting their friend rather than the intended victim. Relying on luck and bad aim isn't a strategy I care to employ, personally; I prefer the reassuring sight of an M7 bayonet on the end of my Mossberg to a Louisville slugger...

But in the end, a goblin goes to the hospital with a gunshot wound and the homeowner is unscathed - it's still a happy ending!

That is all.

And if Clay should die from his wounds, his accomplices will be charged with murder. How ironic would it be to be executed for killing one of your accomplices?
