Here's A Tip: Don't Rant On FACEBOOK

A good example of how Facebook has taken over our lives

Make sure the person you're trying to mug, isn't an MMA Fighter

“Justin” is 6 feet 2, 250 pounds, with a build that looks like it could split open a suit jacket during a particularly violent sneeze.

But the mixed martial arts expert from Des Plaines insists it was his “training,” not brawn, that allowed him to wrench a loaded pistol from the hand of an alleged mugger who had the weapon pointed at his chest Friday night on the Southwest Side.

“I don’t feel like a hero,” said Justin, who did not want his last name used. “Training matters. If you’re well trained, you have a chance to survive.”

Anthony Miranda’s bruised and battered face — and Justin’s unblemished, chiseled one — leaves no doubt about who came out the victor in the encounter.

On Sunday, Miranda, a 24-year-old convicted felon, was ordered held on $350,000 bond, following a hearing at the 26th and California courthouse. He is charged with armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm in the alleged attack. Police say Miranda shot his own ankle during the struggle with the gun.

Justin, who says he hails from Romania, was happy to talk about the encounter, which he said happened around 11:30 p.m. while he was waiting in his parked car for a buddy to arrive. Justin made it clear there would no photographs taken during this interview — not even one that showed only his torso.

Justin said Miranda originally approached him and asked if he could have a light for a cigarette. Justin replied that he does not smoke. That’s when Miranda pulled out a gun and shoved it against the side of his head, Justin said.

“He asked me for my wallet, for my phone and my keys,” Justin explained. “I told him I don’t have a wallet, I only have cash. He cursed me — like ‘m-----f-----.’”

Justin said he handed over the $30 in cash he had stuffed in a his car’s cup holder, but Miranda was not satisfied, Justin said.

“At that moment, he backs up the gun and he racks it,” Justin recalled. “The gun jammed. He racked it a second time. He ejected the bullet on the ground. He went down and grabbed the bullet and said, ‘Look, m-----f-----, it’s a hollow point. I’ll blow your brains out.’”

That’s when Miranda ordered him out of the car, Justin said.

Justin said he looked at the man facing him, pistol pointing at his chest, and was pretty certain he was about to take a bullet.

“I wasn’t scared because I’m trained,” Justin explained.

Justin then demonstrated to a reporter the sudden, rather effective maneuver that disarmed his attacker.

“The round went off,” Justin continued. “I put him down to the ground. He was fighting. He didn’t want to give up.”

But at the same time, Justin said: “He was begging me to let him go. He said he has a baby.”

Justin then kept his attacker collared until police arrived.

Asked about his training, Justin offered only vague hints at his background: “Former military,” “high-risk training,” “Hostage rescue.”

He said he makes a living in a variety of ways: “Sometimes I do clubs. I do close protection.”

Idiot of the Fucking Day!

Nice hat you fucking douche.

Back in my day, if a man wanted to play the popcorn trick on himself during a screening of a children’s film about boy wizards, that was a man’s right.  He wasn’t hurting anybody.  That was what we called “the pursuit of happiness.”  Well not in Obama’s America.  The Nanny State wants the government to control everything — Four Loko, McDonald’s Happy Meals, and now, it seems, your wiener.

At approximately 1:10pm, the Bluffton [South Carolina] Police Department responded to Sea Turtle Cinemas, [responding to a 911 call about] an individual that was exposing himself in the movie theater.
When officers arrived, they were directed by theater employees to a projection booth, which was playing a Harry Potter movie.  From this location, they were able to look into the back row and observe a white male touching his exposed genitals. Officers then entered the theater and identified the suspect as Alexander Ofner, 39.  Ofner was arrested for Indecent Exposure and transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center to await bond hearing.

Wow, dodged another bullet there, eh, Florida?  Anyway, I don’t see what the problem was.  I mean, he sat in the back row.  If you ask me, this sounds like a second amendment issue more than anything else.
