Portsmouth, NH -- A good guy with a gun is being praised by police for taking the initiative to get involved and stop a drunk driver who tried to flee after crashing into a number of cars and a restaurant just before the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve.
Aaron Marconi, 51, was arrested by Portsmouth Police on Monday night after he drove his car into several other vehicles, a Dunkin Donuts sign, and a sandwich shop. You don't even pretend to drive into a Donuts sign when police are in the area.
Well here we are in the start of a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.
I wish you health and happiness. I hope that you will follow Brain Flushings throughout the year and feel free to comment on any issues of concern. Please subscribe and check out the sponsors on these pages too.

Aaron Marconi, 51, was arrested by Portsmouth Police on Monday night after he drove his car into several other vehicles, a Dunkin Donuts sign, and a sandwich shop. You don't even pretend to drive into a Donuts sign when police are in the area.
He allegedly attempted to flee the scene but was stopped by a bystander whose name was not released by police. The bystander blocked Marconi's car with his own but then the bystander was threatened by Marconi, he drew his weapon and told him to stop.
"The first Samaritan attempted to prevent the suspect from driving away by blocking the suspect's vehicle with his own car," Portsmouth police told the Portsmouth Patch in a statement. "The suspect threatened to kill that man and then attempted to back up. The second Good Samaritan seeing this aggressive action and hearing this threat, warned the first man and instructed him to retreat. The second man then challenged the suspect with his firearm while issuing commands to stop."
The bystander held Marconi at gun point until police arrived and took him into custody. Portsmouth Police officer Timothy McCain said he believed the bystander likely saved lives by intervening.
"The actions that [the bystander] took, I believe stopped further destruction and probably prevented a tragedy," McCain told WBZ-TV.
Cops told WBZ-TV they found heroin in Marconi's car and he is being charged with a variety of crimes including driving while intoxicated, criminal threatening, conduct after an accident, and felony possession of a narcotic drug.
