I was planning on posting about this story when I got home from work. But then I noticed that Tam had
already posted about it and done her usual fantastic job. Then I noticed something unusual. In the
link that I found was a much longer interview and in that interview, the clerk stated:
Newsman: Normally, Mothershead is armed.
Clerk: You know, I would have shot him.
Funny how that is left out of other interviews. Always carry your gun. You never know when today is the day. I love that he made him clean up his own blood. The guy is lucky he was able to do it under his own power.
Great story!
ReplyDeleteTango - I have to admit I giggled a bit. I'm not sure what is up with perps targeting MMA fighters/aficionados but it's ending in hilarity.
ReplyDeleteThe outcome was greatly to be desired, and respected. Good story.
ReplyDeleteRev - I think you're right. I think the only reason it made national news was the fisticuffs. If it would have been another CHL holder defending a business I'm sure it would have been swept under the rug. Thanks
ReplyDeleteIt gave me a good belly laugh...
ReplyDeleteGood laugh is right! :-)
ReplyDeleteStephen/NFO - Me, too. I laughed in surprise at the initial hit, then chuckled again later when they show the dude with paper towels wiping up the floor. Man, talk about learning a lesson the hard way. The begging always seems to be a theme when criminals have the tables turned on them. It's starting to get under my skin that they terrorize innocent people and then expect generosity from them. I'd sure like to see crime become a much more hazardous profession.
ReplyDeleteThrow him a roll of Bounty and make him clean up the blood. Priceless.
ReplyDeleteCrime, like stupid, should hurt.
Brigid - to be honest, that was my favorite part. You are correctabout the crime vs pain relation. I hope you are doing well.
