lol - saw this yesterday. God Bless The Marines!
Do you have a link to a story about it?
Maybe the stocking on his head blocked his vision a bit.

LOL! I liked it the first way.
“The stupidity of the kid boggles the mind.”
That stupidity is driven by an attitude of entitlement and the desire for instant gratification.
He wasn’t a Marine, never in the military. He is a Fire Fighter/EMT who worked hard to get there and I’m proud to say he is family.
Nice moves. A friend (former SEAL) that lives near me was filling up at a gas station while at an adjacent vehicle a couple was arguing. The guy was getting physical so my friend suggested he leave the lady alone, then went into the store to buy a couple items. While paying at the register the guy came up behind him and broke a bottle over his head. My friend put him on the floor and drove himself to the Doc for some stitches.
I’ll look for it - i think it was on facebook. Can’t remember for sure.
Many moons ago a young lady ran, about 1 am, into a bar in downtown Durango, CO frequented by bikers. A guy had snatched her purse.
Bar emptied, they chased the guy, who was on foot.
Here’s the interesting part. He had a gun, kept turning and firing at the bikers, who would duck behind cars and such but kept chasing him. Eventually he ran out of ammo, they ran him down, beat the **** out of him and held him for the cops.
I wasn’t involved personally. Unless there is an exceptionally good reason, like a child being kidnapped, I’m not going to chase an armed man. Certainly not for a purse.
But kudos to them. Possibly some were former Marines.
Mr. Megan LOVED this!!!
You must be very proud. Headline read Marine and the header at the link says "ex-Marine" (of which there are none). One way or the other, he is a great American. Send along my thanks for his valor.
Whacked with a “Clue by Fore”....
And Pelosi will jump in and say “See what the military does to people? Makes them violent”
That’s alright. He was assessing an ass.
Yes, I loved that, how he stepped back, checked it all out, and then calmly TOOK HIM DOWN!
Thanks for the info. I was trying to find a news article to confirm pic headline and get further info, but couldn’t find it. Maybe ‘cause I was searching on Marine! Marine or not, great job your family member did!
Step aside, Pops; I’m busy, and I got a store to rob.
