Speed bump!!

[Bulwyf]

Roger that, or an ex soldier out of most commonwealth countries. They can be ornery, unlike their socialist countrymen heh.

Former Marine

Off Duty Marine. But then again.....

[Cheetahcat]

Nice Job and Good riddance!

[Issaquahking]

Great story! I love a story with a happy ending!

[DariusBane]

Awww! Feel good story of the week. All that’s missing is a basket full of kittens,

[Joe 6-pack]

"Nah...as long as he didn't leave the scene of the "accident" he is probably O.K..."

You'd think he'd have been smart enough to not attempt to steal the front bumper off a moving car.

[Cicero]

The only downside is that he dented his headlight and fender. I hope it doesn’t cost him too much to get it fixed.

All that’s missing is a basket full of kittens,

Just to complete the day

[Jack Hydrazine]

Maybe FR should start handing them out!

[Jack Hydrazine]

“Once Kobobel got out of his car, he said he saw the man lying on the ground and kicked the gun away.”

He could have if he had instead picked up the gun and gave him a case of lead poisoning, too!

The community is a little safer now that the criminal cannot victimize anyone else.

[DejaJude]

I'm always suspicious of tall people myself. Don't even get me started on short people with crew cuts.

I'm suspicious of news that can't give any other description of the perp other than "tall".

[Little Ray]

I hope it STAYS a happy ending.

[Secret Agent Man]

Can we give an ex-marine a medal?

Best thing city could do is pay the guys’ upcoming legal bills for taking care of the trash the cops can’t.

[Lazamataz]

A good Marine uses whatever weapon is handy.

[who knows what evil?]

Good shoo...er, good driving!

[SIDENET]

"I say he improvised."

[Venturer]

Now we have to hope the courts see this the same way we do.

No telling how many lives this old guy saved by getting this criminal off the streets.
