I like sweet bedtime stories.

 

[ZedHound]

YEs good bedtime story indeed. Saddest part is that while the marine takes such good care of himself, he ends up eating subway. That stuff is garbage.

 

[Climberman]

I like the marksmanship. Good job marine!

 

[MuShu Gordon]

Much truth. Such wow.

Much cross, no pizza box. Domino's didn't deliver.

 

[Geezer]

But one of the robbers lived. Other that that, Way to go, Marine!

You know how sometimes you "treat" yourself to something you enjoy but know isn't really good for you?? Maybe this was his 2016 "treat"....

 

[Mikew]

The only thing he could be charged with is participating in an unfair fight. One 71- year young Marine against two punks.

This, One smart guy against two dumb asses.

 

[Climberman]

This is what I imagine it looked like.

 

[bondjamesbond]

You don't go pissing us old farts off. It will not end well for you.
Well done Marine.

 

[ForumSurfer]

Doesn't sound like @Chdamn since there was no mention of corpse desecration.

Happy stories are great, but it was also 2007. Also of note... @Climberman , he did use a 45 1911 and fired all 7 rounds.

The story is legit, complete with whiney ass family members placing blame on the marine.

Bah. I can't comprehend what eople like that have going through their minds. My son is 13. If he did something like this, I can't say I'd be placing blame on the marine. You can't blame grief, you can only blame low moral standards.

I am terrified of someone breaking in my house. I can only hope that my wife will protect me.

I know a guy...well I know his wife (prior to him knowing her)...and that could be him lol. She didn't know what to do and wanted help on how to talk to him. His home protection plan was her. They both served but she had the most weapons training and hand to hand training during and after the military. His plan was to basically let her handle it.

He tried to give these men a pass with the robbery of the subway. According to the story, he didn't draw and fire until they tried to force him in to the bathroom and rob him. I imagine they were going to beat him or worse if they were trying to force him anywhere other than just taking his money where he sat.

Even though Americans like Henderson clearly support Lovell, the friends and family of the men who were shot want to know how he could "gun them down and not be charged."

Give me a break! I don't understand the whole "my kin can do no wrong" or maybe more accurately "just because my kin does wrong, you can't defend yourself" mentality here.

Yes, grieving is no excuse. Those folks can promptly go spit. They have my sympathy and I pray they turn their lives around, but it's still f*** you.

From what I've read of the criminal mindset, relocating someone is usually a form of mental preparation to cause them physical harm.

I read the same thing, as well. Mentally it instills fear in the person being separated and even more so in the rest. Inspires a "get in line" attitude. People like to think criminals are stupid, they are anything but. Sometimes that sort of behavior is innate.

The stupid ones get weeded out fast.

Those two sure did. Good riddance, and good job Marine. Hopefully they never had a chance to reproduce.
