| #6 "He reached for the man's crotch and lifted him up, still holding onto one of his arms with his left hand. Gant then slammed the robber face-first off the curb, gashing his attacker's forehead wide open." I think I'm in love.... :-D |

| #2 Did Toys for Tots with a couple of USMC Martial Arts Instructors last nite. They told me about an 80 year old USMC vet on vacation in the Caribbean..possibly Jamaica, who was threatened with a knife while standing with his elderly wife in the street. The Old Marine got the robber in a headlock and snapped the robber's neck. That fast. You make that one mistake and it can be quick. You didnt get up this morning thinking it was your last day alive, did you? Dont threaten a US Marine. No, really. You dont NEED a weapon when you have an attitude. The whole room is full of weapons, just look around you. Weapons all over the damn place. The corner of the desk can kill you...trust me. |

| #1 In England, the Marine would have been arrested and charged - from the article, he really beat the crap out of the robber. (They probably would have let the robber go.) |
