Totally off topic but a story every Sunday Thread reader should see.

Thanks, MNJ. What a GREAT story. The red pipe-wielding Afghan Rambo!

Thanks, MNJ. This is a great story, and from what I have found it's 100% true. You never can tell about these things. Stories about this guy aren't, however, new. They go back to at least 2005

I knew he sounded familiar and did some searching. BlackFive has more

Rambo the Afghan - Jamal Udin - Someone You Should Know

He's got links to several other stories about him. Blackfive's post is from earlier this month and about this particular incident, so I hope that if anything untoward has happened to this man that it would have turned up. It means a lot to me that stories like this get out and that the people involved come out of it as OK as they can be.
