Marine vs. 4 armed robbers

[MarineGrunt]

not to be a party killer, but this ex-marine may have been a top notch trained " blackbelt" in whatever art you may think of.........kickboxing, karate, judo, etc.........all is never told with the press..........as we all know from the flying articles

Uh-oh! He said the X-word!! :uzi:

I swear, if some of you won the lottery you'd bitch about the taxes. You just can't let anything go without putting a negative spin on it.

 

[Laxman]

Feel bad for the parents, but those kids deserved more than that. For a Marine, well done though. Hopefully some people will think twice about doing stupid things like that. Prob not though...

 

[Hobit]

Screw the attackers! They got off easy. If you cease to act in a civilized manner you abrogate your right to civilized treatment.

JOB WELL DONE in removing these scumbag predators. Unfortunately three of them are still wasting O2.

I hope the Marine is healthy both physically and mentally after his cleaning of the human gene pool. The cut on his hand is troubling if some of the dirtbags were bleeding too.

Thoughts for his health. Thanks for his actions and eventual safety.

Good work. Now there are two less sacks of protoplasm I have to support through my own paycheck. Good riddens. Hopefully the other members will do something stupid soon. The touchy-feelie's will want to enforce some rehabilitation program for these kids, bull s***. Rehab my a**. Past history will prove that the cycle will repeat itself. Again, and again, and again. These kids would have continued to plague the system for the rest of their lives. It is a shame. And a side note, the kids went to Grady High School. Anyone else that has been around atlanta for more than a month will know that its no-friggen-suprise they came from that dump.

Reminds me of the incident at Ft Bragg back in 1996, where a solider went nuts and was hiding in the woods with his M-16 picking of fellow soldiers on the parade grounds. If I remember correctly he killed some people. Three Spec Forces guys were out on a run. They heard the shooing, and although they were unarmed and went in an took the guy out bare handed, they were unhurt. The shooter lived but was ruffed up.

Wow... good job!

 

[Master Shake]

From a former USMC Corporal...well done Marine!

On a sidenote, someone mentioned earlier that Chesty was smiling on that Marine. It begs the philosophical question: in "military" heaven, do you think that Chesty Puller and Audie Murphy ever go rounds? You know, for kicks & giggles?

Caveman-

Thats because the world is not black and white......

When the civilians fail at the negotitions table and send in the
marines there are losers on all sides...

While no one can speak for this Marine, except himself, I'd say he has problems if he is proud over this event.

Then again war seems to be natures way of controlling global population...

Kick ass sir!

I´m sorry, but exactly why shouldn´t this Marine be proud? He was jumped by 4 assailants, armed with knives AND guns, and he disabled all and neutralized one (in the Corps, neutralize means kill). Tough luck on the stupid SOB´s who decided to attack an apparently harmless victim- they learned the hard way.

This devil dog should be BEAMING with pride, not for killing some idiot, but for emerging victorious over an incident that would leave 99% of us either with soiled pants or worse, dead.

If you were in the same situation and weren´t proud of the outcome, then I´d say that YOU´VE got the problem.

Survival of the fittest- Darwin at his very best here.

Ooh-rah.

Gringo,

Have you ever killed somebody? It's not something that I would be PROUD about- regardless of the circumstance. Was he justified in doing, hell yeah. Did he clean up the gene pool because of it, better believe it.

Will he probably spend a few sleepless nights wondering if there was a better way of resolving the situation? I can only hope so. There's nothing boastful about taking another human's life- regardless of their transgressions.

I agree.
Those scumbags depend on their weapons for their strength. Their way of thinking is that if their intended victim appears to be unarmed, then that person is an easy target. Well not so in this case!!
I would have killed every one of them.
This story reminds me of the movie ConAir, where Nicholas Cage is only defending himself and winds up going to prision because he killed the attackers only in self defense.
I'm just glad the Marine wasn't charged or convicted of a crime.

Thankfully, no, I never had to kill someone. But having spent 4 years in the Corps myself, I was trained and prepared to do so. Would it suck? Maybe. I can tell you this, if my life, or my wife´s life was on the line, or my kids, Í wouldn´t hesitate to pull the trigger. Multiple times. (Big fan of overkill) And I doubt I´d feel too bad about it afterwards- probably lose some sleep over it, yeah, maybe for a night, but then I´d get over it.

There is a difference in murder, which I couldn´t do, and justifiable homicide, which is what this Marine did. And I´d like to think I wouln´t lose any sleep over a justified killing, ESPECIALLY if it was my life (or my family´s) on the line.

And exactly how else does one resolve the situation? 4 thugs jumped out of the car at him- there was no time to say `stop, stop! Let´s hold hands and sing kum-bay-yah and resolve this peacefully!` It was a split-second decision, and his apparently far superior training kicked in (he probably didn´t even realize it) and it was over before anyone knew what happend. I say he probably didn´t realize it, because in these situations, the training is designed to do just that- get you out or contain the situation without thought, just instincts. Which apparently this guy had plenty of.
