Proving once more,...it’s not smart to mess with a Marine. Once a Marine always a Marine.

Americans have had it with the “whatever” crowd in this country. This is why the FBI lastest statistics are showing such big drops in crime. The bad guys aren’t the only ones packing heat anymore.

"These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70's have military backgrounds, and aren't intimidated by idiots."

That's a keeper.

“These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70’s have military backgrounds, and aren't intimidated by idiots.”

And a lot of them are packin’.

The families are upset. They feel he had ‘no right’ to take the law into his own hands.

If you cross the line Marines can and will be hazardous to your health

If more people were like Mr. Lovell there would be fewer criminals. The idiot criminals that would remain would be fearful and very careful whom they tried to rob. Kudos to Mr. Lovell two head shots and one center mass now that’s GUN CONTROLE.

News from July, 2008.

Still, it’s a lesson worth learning. One of the perps is still dead.

I really enjoyed this story the first time I read it. However, that was many years ago. This story is pretty old and should not be in the news/events section. If anywhere, it should be in the history section.

Dinner at 11:15 PM... makes you wonder...

Come and get some boys.

He shot one of the thieves in the head and chest; the other in the head.

Nice grouping, dad...

Oorah and Semper Fi!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

This situation happened 4 years ago? The comments are sure a doozy though, I loved the tiger/teeth quote.

''He was in fear for his life,'' Detective Rettig said. "These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70's have military backgrounds, and aren't intimidated by idiots."

Highlighted sections don't go together logically, but one statement was to meet the letter of the law, the second was the absolute truth.

We old men know we will lose a fight that depends on physical strength. Therefore we are courteous and non threatening. However, if some punk becomes a threat, we simply kill them with a weapon.
