===========================================================================
A Florida intruder learned the hard way that breaking and entering can have painful consequences, especially if one of the people is an MMA fighter.
As CBS 12 reported, Henny Rojas was sleeping at his relative’s home in Wilton Manors on Saturday morning when his teenage nephew woke him up in a panic to inform him an intruder was in the living room.
Upon hearing this, the MMA fighter sprang into action. Using his skills, he beat the tar out of the intruder and subdued him until the police arrived.
The intruder, who identified as 31-year-old Austin Carasani, was then arrested and taken into custody.
Rojas told CBS 12 in an interview that he was fully prepared for the engagement and suffered no injuries.
I’m prepared. It’s not my first time; I don’t feel pain. Nothing,” Rojas told CBS 12. “I don’t have guns; I wasn’t looking for a knife — just God and my hands, that’s it.”
“Protect your family,” he added. “There are a lot of crazy people [who] don’t believe in God, who [are] only looking for damage.”

Caresani allegedly claimed he was trying to find his friend “Paul’s” house when he ‘accidentally’ entered the Rojas home.
He had been drinking at a nearby club.
Caresani was charged with home invasion and is still in custody at the Broward County Jail as of Tuesday. His bond has been set at $20,000.
Rojas and his family revealed they had never seen Carasani before he broke into their house.

Is Pelosi’s husband in Florida at the moment ?
“”There are a lot of crazy people [who] don’t believe in God, who [are] only looking for damage.””
I love it - in this case, it ended up with a “lot of damage.” Enough to learn a lesson from it? Probably not!!!!
It will be interesting to see if Carasani has an arrest record. At 31 yrs old and if not, he actually could have been drunk and blundering around.
I can tell you from experience, it’s easy to do.
He had a bad day at the office
Paul’s not here.
Or....just a Florida Man lol
“Paul’s not here man...”
Seriously, my son in law is into MMA. It’s one thing about him that I really like. He’s not a huge man, but he is a strong one.
I wonder what this intruder would be thinking (or not) if he broke into a house where some old person had a 12 GA?
Paul is dead. Coo coo ca choo.
He was looking for damage and he found it!
Why does he look like Ted Cruz?
It looks like Ted Cruz back during the Olive Oil Wars.
Wilton Manors is one of the creepiest places in America. If you’re there, there’s something wrong with you.
If I was him I'd take this as his sign to give up going out and getting drunk.
Wilton Manor is the key information in this article. LGBTQ+ + every other imaginable lifestyle is encouraged. Probably the gayest community not in California (including KW).
He’s lucky he violated a MMA fighter’s home
An ordinary Citizen might likely have just shot him.
