GorillaOffTopic, Everything But Gorilla Trades

The Gorilla really likes hearing cute stories of civilian justice every so often, and this one is quite amusing: When Adrian and Tiffany McKinnon returned from a week-long vacation to their Montgomery, Alabama home on Thursday afternoon, they were met with an unexpected surprise. They walked in to find that they had been burglarized, and almost everything the family of five owned had been emptied. The house was in shambles, with piles of garbage all over the place. Adrian McKinnon sent his wife to her sisters so he could assess the situation. But when Adrian McKinnon went to inspect the sunroom, to his shock, the thief ran right into him, still wearing one of Adrian’s hats! Instead of panicking, Adrian took over the gun, and held the thief, 33-year-old Tajuan Bullock, at gunpoint. Mr. McKinnon then made the thief clean up the mess he had made in the house and put things back where they belonged.  ”We made this man clean up all this mess he had made, piles of stuff he had thrown out of my cabinets and drawers,” Tiffany McKinnon said.Even more humorous was the fact that when the police arrived, Bullock actually complained about having to clean up, while being held at gunpoint. “This man had the nerve to raise sand about us making him clean up the mess he made in my house,” she said. “The police officer laughed at him when he complained and said anybody else would have shot him dead.”  Police arrested Bullock on burglary and theft charges. The Gorilla is quite sure, given the same situation, he would do exactly the same thing. More and more people are taking a zero tolerance attitude when it comes to being victims of crimes these days. After all, don’t people have a right to protect themselves, their homes, and their families? Good for the McKinnons!
