Another one for the good guys

[KenpoTex]

In this incident the guy used a knife to protect himself and his grandson. Results: good guys alive, 1 bad guy dead

“There was commotion, shouting, screaming etcetera and they ran out from there. One guy followed my grandson and the employee into the office and the one slashed his knife at me. I managed to take out my knife. I lashed the guy a couple of times. He ran away. My grandson was still fighting with the second one. We held the guy and we said to the guy, ‘we let you go.’ ”

One suspect died from his stab wounds. Carl had to undergo surgery to repair cut tendons and is recovering.

If I'm not mistaken, more people die from knife wounds than gun shots (per 1000 that is.)

Never underestimate a knife attack. And remember the Tuller drill.

Good riddance.

it is unlikely charges will be filed, police said.

It's unlikely the D.A. would be re-elected if they were.

As much as this is a self-defense victory for the young woman, who sensed the danger and successfully obtained assistance, and the father, who won the battle, (and the gene pool, which scored a decisive win that night) the loss of a sense of safety for the daughter is still a cost paid by the family even in an otherwise successful encounter. We can't just view this as martial artists--these people still have to live their lives tomorrow.

Where the hell do you carry all that stuff if you are naked?

chlorine for the gene pool...

Shortly before 10:30 p.m. Monday, 67-year-old Douglas Dabbs pulled into his driveway on Tobylynn Drive and was getting out of his pickup truck when two armed men came up to him and tried to rob him. The two men were identified as Nibeyu Demissew Yosef and Jermichael Jerome Burgy.
Armed with BB guns the two men demanded money from Dabbs. Dabbs said he reached into the console of his truck, retrieved a handgun that fires .410 shotgun rounds and opened fire on the two robbers.

Wow, that makes me want that Taurus Judge all over again.

Sort of like "don't bring a knife to a gunfight"...don't bring BB guns to take out Dirty Harry.

An overnight shooting in midtown Tucson left two people dead Thursday morning. It happened just before 1 a.m. at a home on East Adams Street near Euclid Avenue and Speedway Boulevard.
Police say around 1 am Shontel Early and Wesley Fenstermacher went to a home near Euclid and Speedway and knocked on the door. The 23-year-old man living in the home opened the door and noticed that one of the men had a gun. He shut the door, but the suspects forced their way in. That is when the 23-year-old shot and killed them both.
The student is a 23-year-old white male, and former marine. He's the one who actually called 911 after it all went down.
Both suspects have criminal backgrounds, but nothing very recent.
"If you are going to have an outcome of a horrible, horrible situation like this, this is the outcome you got to have," says Chris Maglione, the owner of a nearby home...

Well done Marine!

I agree with the sentiment expressed by the neighbor...that this is the only acceptable outcome to such a situation.

Ooh-Rah! Hopefully, the law will see this for what it was (SD) and no charges will ever be filed against this former Marine.

WEST OAK LANE - October 11, 2009 (WPVI) -- A would-be robber is dead after one of his alleged victims fights back.

It happened on North Street in Philadelphia's West Oak Lane section early Sunday morning.

Investigators say it apparently never crossed the thief's mind that his victim just might be armed.

Police say it was the man's third robbery of the night. He forced the victim up against a vehicle along the street and demanded money. That's when shots rang out - but not from the alleged robber.

Well, he isn't going to rob anyone else...

A little less serious, but looks genuine to me.

Its just plain funny to see people who want to be all big get put into place.
