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’.

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

You beat me to it. That is a GREAT quote.

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

Thank you Mr. Lovell, good shooting. You’re an outstanding citizen.

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.

[tumblindice]

He looks like another feral young black man, now room temperature. No loss.
“The retired Marine apparently feigned dropping his wallet, and instead of picking it up, brandished a 9mm handgun and brought the robbery to a swift close.”
9mil: Apply directly to the forehead.

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...

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

It's like the old Hollywood myth about bad guys riding into town and shooting the place up while old citizens cower in fear. In actuality, most of those old citizens were Civil War veterans, and had more than enough moxie to deal with punks.

[JOAT]

Great story, but it is 4.5 years old.

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)

[Mr Ramsbotham]

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

That's an interesting perspective on their part. I wonder if the crooks had a right to take the law into their own hands by trying to forcefully appropriate other people's property?
