Ever get the feeling that people come to Arfcom to try out their alibis in front of a large LEO audience before using them?
Nah. Me either. |

White guy, in his 20's, not big at all, slim build, 5' 10" or so, yeah, pipe hitter. No dag or alarm, this family has lived in this house for decades, the neighborhood has gone down hill pretty seriously in that time, but they have never had a problem and from all accounts are on good terms with everyone. No idea if he hit anyone or not. |

Quoted:
The version of events may not be accurate due to his injuries. This is what he remembers, Wed morning around 6am he was awakened by the smoke alarm. He thought his house was on fire, actually he had been shot in the head twice and the gun smoke triggered the smoke alarm, who knew? So, he got out of bed, head hurting like hell, blood every where, realized that he had been shot. He thought his mom was upstairs and heard the bad guys upstairs. So, he wrapped a blanket around his head and got a 12 ga from the closet and went to save his mom. He stumbled into the living room banged into some stuff alerted the bad guys to his presence. When he started up the stairs he was shot again thru the shoulder, which sat him down. Some where in there he fired the shotgun. He got up and ran out of the house started pounding on the neighbors door. No one opened the door because he was covered with blood and had a shotgun in his hands. Someone did call 911. He was shot with his own pistol, possibly the bad guys creeped his room, saw his pistol on his night stand, picked it up and then he stirred or moved and he was shot. Or possibly they just shot him, no way to know. He has a large gash across his forehead where a bullet creased him, the second shot to the head is square in the lower back of his head. Apparently this thick skull caused the bullet to fragment, they removed almost all of the bullet and bone fragments. They are worried about brain bleed, swelling and seizures, working to control all of that. He is sitting up in bed talking to people, and working his phone. The shoulder would was thru and thru. He was shot with his own .38, hollow point ammo is all I got from him. Looks like he will recover physically, emotionally possibly a long road there, he is very upset, understandably, PTSD. He was the only person in the house, his mom was at work, his small son was with his mom out of state, he is very lucky, could have been much worse. Short version, young man is shot in the head twice in his sleep, wakes up, grabs a gauge and takes the fight to the bad guys, is shot a third time and retreats. PS, TIM (This Is Memphis)

Well, hasn't been anything on the local news about it that I can tell. But, I've been off work with the flu and watching more Netflix than local Memphis liberal lies. I usually watch wmctv5 or wreg3. Memphis Fox13 might have something on their website if anyone wants to check. The local paper "The Commercial Appeal" makes you have a subscription to read anything online, so no go there.
Tell him good job for me. And no I don't want to attend any Memphis area ARFCom meet ups and watch Spartacus together. |

He needs better HP ammo. The stuff he loads in his night stand gun would bounce right off someone's head.

They shoot him in the head which would probably concuss him enough that when he came to he wouldn't have any recollection of what happened. |

The term "Pipe hitter," was originally popularized by a line in the film "Pulp Fiction."
What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' ****s, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass. As written and spoken in the film, it referred to letting a couple crack smoking gentlemen of African descent torture Zed. Some viewers of the film unfamiliar with inner city vernacular misinterpreted "pipe hitting" as referring to badasses instead of crack users and thus the use of "pipe hitters" under a completely different meaning was born. |
