Chicago Man Goes to Rural Iowa

The Casey’s store in Coggon, Iowa

Coggon, Iowa, is a tiny town in rural Linn County. The population of Coggon is 701 people. The town is about 30 miles north of Cedar Rapids, on state Highway 13, which runs past the Casey’s convenience store in Coggon. It’s more than 200 miles from Coggon to Chicago, Illinois, which may seem like quite a distance, but it’s still too close to be safe from the criminal scum who populate Chicago, scum like Stanley Lavell Donahue.

Stanley Lavell Donahue

Donahue was 36 years old on the evening of June 20, 2021, and had been a criminal his entire adult life. He had “pleaded guilty to possession of a stolen vehicle in 2003 and aggravated vehicular hijacking in 2006 and to armed robbery in 2013, among other narcotics and weapons charges.” Car thief, carjacker, armed robber — a violent menace to society, but for some reason he kept getting turned loose. It’s Chicago, right? If they locked up all the criminals in Chicago, the place would be entirely depopulated.

After getting out of prison in Illinois, Donahue decided to try his luck elsewhere: “In 2019, he pled guilty to having a firearm after being a convicted felon, knowingly concealing stolen property, and obstructing an officer. He was released from a prison in Oklahoma back in July 2020.” In other words, he served only a year for the Oklahoma charges, and less than a year after getting out of prison, he shows up in Coggon, Iowa, planning to rob the Casey’s store on Highway 13. It is at this point that I must call your attention to the fact that Stanley Donahue is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He has a knack for getting caught, and his trip to rural Iowa was no exception to that pattern. He points his .40-caliber pistol at the store clerk, gets all the money in the register, and then demands the money in the safe. The clerk says only the manager can unlock the safe, and so Donahue says, where’s the manager?

The manager is in the back of the store, so Donahue tells the clerk to go get her. The clerk goes to the back and tells the manager to call 911. Stanley Donahue is having his typical criminal experience, you see. So, the manager calls 911 then goes to open the safe. Donahue puts both the manager and the clerk in the store’s refrigerator, and just as he’s about to exit the store, Linn County Sheriff’s Deputy Will Halverson walks in the front door.

Linn County Deputy Will Halverson

A seven-year veteran of the sheriff’s department and the father of three children, Halverson did not even have a chance to draw his pistol before he was shot by Stanley Donahue, who fired 10 times and stole the deputy’s pistol before fleeing in his Dodge van. Seven of the shots fired by Donahue hit Deputy Halverson:

Halverson was shot twice in the chest. A bullet proof vest protected him from any wounds.
He was hit an additional four times:

Once in the abdomen, shattering his pelvis
Once in the left leg, which shattered his femur
Once in the right leg, bullet went through
Once in the right hip, shattering his hip

What followed was a 14-hour manhunt than ended with Donahue being captured on Highway 13 the next day. Miraculously, Deputy Halverson survived his wounds. Stanley Donahue rejected a plea offer — because he’s stupid — and went to trial, where he was convicted of all charges and sentenced to 92 years in prison. Video:

 

Leniency toward career criminals is a bad idea, yet this is the prevalent practice in nearly every major American city. Why? Because these cities are governed by Democrats, who are elected by the same criminal scum who terrorize any innocent citizens foolish enough to live in places like Chicago. And the moral of the story is that no one in America is ever really safe, not even 200 miles away from Chicago in rural Linn County, Iowa.

FMJRA 2.0: A Break In The Misery

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Well, after weeks and weeks of getting beaten like the family mule, the Senators managed to win two out of three against the Expos. Yes, we’re still in the bottom of the division at 27-48, six games behind the Brewers and 13 games out of first, but for once we had a break-even week, which is reason to be happy.
Once again we see that the AP poll is mostly detached from reality.
