BOGOTA (AFP) - A feckless stick-up man chose the wrong target when he was beaten and hospitalized in an attempted robbery of a karate school in Bucaramanga in northwestern Colombia, police said.

"The man entered the academy with a firearm, but could not intimidate the dozens of students, who fortunately reacted and disarmed him," said Colonel Julio Cesar Santoyo, police commander in the province of Santander.

Police arrived at the scene only to take the would-be robber to hospital for treatment of multiple contusions at the hands of the karate students.

I wouldn’t think they’d have much of anything valuable on hand.

You'd be surprised. My instructor has a number of things on hand that would be worth stealing if not for the fact that he'd kick the crap out of you for trying.

I guess the thief really earned his ‘black and blue’ belt.

LOL! OUCH! :D

Funny!

I remember being in Indianapolis several years ago and reading in the newspaper that a guy tried to hold up a gun shop on W. 16th St., near the Speedway, with a knife. He was shot to death.

“I seem to recall a posting about some guy who robbed a donut shop ... that was next door to a police station.”

Sat on court case a few years back for a gang of take-over robbers who decided to hit a pizza parlor. They missed one of the customers in the initial takeover and he called the cops. The PD was about 1/4 mile away and it was at shift change( double your fun). Needless to say things did not go well for the amateur James gang.

Either he was hurt REALLY, REALLY bad or the cops REALLY,REALLY wanted him to die. Either way, he’s not in a good situation.
