| 2 Yobs w/Bull Terrier vs. 3 War Heroes |
| 2010-11-16 |
| TWO drunken yobs tried to start a fight with three strangers - who turned out to be the military's most decorated hard men. The thugs, who had a Staffordshire bull terrier with them, got a surprise comeuppance after hurling abuse at the smartly-suited trio in a street. They had no idea their intended "victims" were a hero Royal Marine, an Army captain and a VC-winning SAS hero. The louts pushed and shoved the three men, attempting to provoke them into a punch-up. After ignoring polite advice to "walk away" they suddenly found themselves on their backs while their vicious-looking dog fled yelping. The incident happened as L/Cpl Matt Croucher, 26, and Captain Peter Norton, 47, both George Cross winners, were walking through central London with Aussie Cpl Mark Donaldson, 31, after a reception at Buckingham Palace. Though they were in civilian clothes they were wearing their medals on their chests. A witness to the incident said: "It was a case of yobs picking on the wrong people. After they ended up on the ground the guys just calmly adjusted their suits and walked off." |

| #2 Its not clear in the Artic iff the Yobs tried to use the dog maliciously agz the Mil Vets - I prefer to think the poor doggie was just an innocent bystander watching the human ruckus; or at worse was an unwilling accomplice doing what his prob abusive owner(s) trained him to do??? |
