FEEL GOOD STORY OF THE DAY

Frying pan defense
A homeowner and his wife fend off a home invader with the help of a frying pan.

FAYETTEVILLE (WTVD) — Glenn Tew used his favorite frying pan to fight off an intruder.

“The fact that he would come in and invade our own home and just do the kind of damage he had done, no one should have to put up with that kind of mess.” Tew said.

Thursday, just before midnight, Tew went to check on a noise in his den, and confronted 21 year old Sheldon Dix as Dix broke through a glass door.

“And I hollered at him, and he proceeded to come charging at me trying to knock me out, we kind of locked horns and fought on the floor.” Tew said.

Tew’s wife heard the commotion and ran to help her husband. She tossed the frying pan to her husband.

“I think my wife hit him in with a metal trash can a couple of times” Tew said. “And once I got the frying pan, I proceeded to give him a good dose of that.”

Police say just minutes before the break-in, Dix savagely attacked a mother who was waiting in her car at a nearby church parking lot. They said when another man saw the attack and tried to intervene, Dix starting beating on the man. The woman in the car then pulled out a handgun and shot at the attacker.

“The victim in the car happened to be a concealed-permit holder. She had a legal right. She retrieved her firearm and fired off two rounds,” said Fayetteville Police Lt. Tim Tew.

Lt. Tew is not related to the victims. He said the suspect fled across a parking lot and ran down the street.

When he broke into the Tew home, he got a lot more than he bargained for.

Glenn Tew hopes he can salvage his favorite frying pan.

“The bottom is a little messed up, but I expect I can hammer it back down,” he said.

Police say all the victims were shaken up. But Glenn Tew was not seriously hurt in the fight.

Investigators say Dix is in custody undergoing a mental evaluation. Police say he faces several charges.

I don’t blame Tew for being upset about his frying pan, if someone messed up my favorite frying pan with his head I’d be really mad too.

Not exactly a “Feel Good” story: The dindu is still breathing.

Waiting for BLM to protest the harming of an unarmed black man and for the mom of the perp (they usually have a lot of priors) saying, “He’s such a good boy! There’s more to this story than is reported! My boy dindu nuffin’!!!”

Next time, use the edge of the pan on the bridge of it’s nose. And then the edge on it’s throat. If it is still moving, repeat the process.

Useless little turds. And this is what that clinton bitch wants to compensate for “slavery”…

Heartwarming story on such a cold and snowy day. Agree 100% with only using cast iron as that nappy afro head offers a cushioning effect to the blows. Doubt the kneegrow learned anything from his experience.

I don’t have a firearm, but I have not only some great heavy skillets, but a really great , huge meat cleaver, as well as many large, sharp kitchen knives. I’m primed to do a lot of damage very quickly, should anyone get past the security gates to my top-floor apt with its solid-core doors and heavy dead-bolt locks.

Just demonstrates that a nigger’s head is impervious to all forms of education, reason, and aluminum; bet it it isn’t impervious to copper-jacketed lead…

That stupid nig got away w/ bungling 2 different crimes and now he’s gonna be even more bitter.
What a shame he is alive to go another round on another day.

Reminds me of this (and I seriously hope others who’ve had MORE than enough watch it):

Fucking pussy………..invest in some cast iron! If you dent your cast iron beating a dindu in the head then you’ve done a good days work! Besides, cast iron is the best non-stick you can get.

With cast Iron I can guarantee they would not be evaluating that wholesome yutes mental state. They’d be looking for fading sparks of life.

Some people are just like cockroaches. You just can’t kill them matter how hard you try.

I am disappointed that the lady concealed-carry holder didn’t cap his ass. I hope she starts spending some time at the shooting range.

@IS: The take down capacity of a cast-iron skillet is often under-appreciated. I once saw a 300 pound- steroid muscled- bench-pressing-no body fat-guy absolutely destroyed by a 90 pound grandma who smacked him in the fact with a 12 in cast iron skillet. It took him 3 surgeries of 5-6 hours each, months of his jaw wired shut as well as cognitive therapy for the damage to his frontal lobes.

That is some funny shit.

Now comes the call from the “Liberals” for pan control.

Not the good old American Revolution times cast iron frying pans, mind you, but should the average private citizen be allowed to purchase and use those deadly *non-stick* frying pans (coated with the same Teflon used to make “cop-killer” bullets!) that can strike repeatedly, as fast as the wielder can swing his arm?

Why does anyone need a pan that can cook four eggs at one time? A small pan that only cooks one egg at a time works just as well. It is time to ban big pans…..for the children.
