It's another bit of bad luck for a Marine who lost an arm and a leg in Iraq.
Lance Corporal Mark Beyers was mugged and robbed outside a restaurant in Bethesda, Maryland, last month.
The Marine from western New York was dining out with his wife, Denise, while finishing up rehabilitation at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
As they left the restaurant, five men approached them and asked for a cigarette. Denise Beyers tells The Buffalo News they gave the men a cigarette -- but the men grabbed her purse, kicked her and knocked the couple to the ground.
The thieves made off with 500 dollars just wired to them by a relative.

If there is justice in this world, the arresting officer will be ex-military.

While they did not know he was an Iraq war vet/hero, they knowing knocked down a man with one leg and one arm. These "people" are beyond despicable.

This has been a common ploy for many years – make that decades - to distract the victim. When it is tried on me and I am with someone we immediately split and flank the mugger(s). If I am alone my hand goes near my right hip.
In every instance the bad guys decided they didn’t really want a cigarette. Too bad such things are no longer (unofficially) taught in Basic Training.

Maryland is not a shall issue CCW state.
You are required to document *recent* threats and attempts on your life before the State will consider issuing a permit.
