#2 Well, I'd say it's an happy-ending story, but it's not : do you realize someone will now have to scrub that grease spot off the sidewalk?

#6 Awesome. Great to see "honor" used in the sense it should be used. As seems to happen so rarely in Iraq and the region, which area experts will nonetheless brief you is built on "shame/honor" culture.

#7 Putie says US occupation of Iraq is pointless. But stories like this make me think he's just pissed because US is winning and Russia has lost a vassal state.

#9 This guy deserves a medal and a cash reward. Recognizing and rewarding outstanding behavior like this will ensure that there is more of it. Most of the Arabs seem to put huge stock in all sorts of bling, much like the Russians. Let's recognize that desire, and reward it.

#11 Nimble I was thinking the same thing.

For those of you that missed it. Video: Dallas reporter bullies 70-year-old man on camera.

His crime: Defending his property against thieves who repeatedly broke in and stole from him. After more than 40 calls to police didnt stop the burglaries at his home and place of business (theyre the same place), he shot and killed two burglars in the span of three weeks.

#12 Nice shooting, Old Iraqi Guy! Grace under pressure, yeah.

As for the Dallas story, Texas law gives you the right to shoot anybody messing with your stuff at night.
