Knife in a gun fight.

Obviosly not the best scenario to take/use a knife against several people with guns, but its important to do what it takes to come home at the end of the day.

GREAT story. Love to read about vermin being taken off the streets.

I think the robbers were probably afraid to acutally use the guns. They probably were in shock that they came across someone who would actually fight back and they just didn't expect it.

And if that was here in CA guess who would have gone to jail haha... man it sucks here sometimes

Don't they say, a highly skilled and practiced person, with a knife has the advantage over someone with a gun within a 20 feet radius?

 

[bigbore.45]

He is simply a hero.
Hope he gets a medal for this.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

what knife did he use? lol. Good Job!

 

[orthogonal1]

My question is: what IS his training?

Second, it shows how a gun does not make up for a total lack of skill.

More power to the man, though. Good show.

At 20 ft. I'd take the gun.
Bet the thugs couldn't shoot because their buddies rushed in on the guy.

The only problem is that one prominent case of successful self-defence with a knife will get liberals wanting to ban 'em more than 10 cases of bad guys using knives. (At least that's the way it is here in CA). In my experience, there are few things that irk them more than the concept of private self defence. Here the news stories would have been complete with cop interviews saying it's wrong to resist, etc. --no joke!
BTW, this guy IS a hero --- he saved who knows how many people from being victimized.

As our saying goes, "You can take him out of the Marines but you can't take the Marine out of him!" :thumbup:

i remember a news story several years about a cop in the bahamas who was being chased by a nut with a big knife and when the cop had shot all his rounds in his gun the nut killed him. would be kinda red faced if i were the cop.

Not to be morbid, but wouldn't you be more of a pale blue in the face with darker colors in areas of blood pooling?

amen!!!

first of all, damn liberals who want to blame crime on weapons. they are uneducated and are merely looking for a crutch.. they are mindless fools, all the way around. secondly, this man is a hero! i hope if i were attacked by a group of thugs, i would have the same reaction.... something i thought of, the man was probably seeing his life flash before his eyes when he saw 4 people get out of the car, 2 with guns, so he drew his weapon and felt he had nothing to lose and the bloody knife fight insued. i would say he will be sued in civil court for a wrongful death or some stupid bullshit like that... atlanta is run by blacks and chances are if this fella is white, he is going to get fucked... :jerkit: :thumbdn: this is a great story for knife buffs. thanks for sharing it with us!

I think the moderators and members would appreciate it if you left the language in Whine and Cheese and the racism out altogether, meshmdz. You might consider editing that post.

Is it really racisim if its true? I bet that 17 year old girl wished she would have stayed home and watched laguna beach instead of robbing people, as she bled out on the side of the street. Oh well, shitty things happen to shitty people and now there is 1 less POS in the world. I would say that is a job well done to that marine.

 

[Confederate]

Yes, I found myself thinking more about the dead 17-year old girl. These kids jumped out of a Cadillac, making me wonder if they're just a bunch of rich kids seeking thrills. (How much can one expect to rake in late at night from just one person?)

What must the parents have thought? To be told your 17-year old daughter was murdered or raped is one thing. To be told she was killed by some Marine defending himself from her -- you gotta wonder what they're thinking.

 

[meshmdz]

needleremorse, i suggest you wisen up. i made NO RACIST comment. only fools like yourself, obviously, take cheap shots and spew liberal bullshit and throw the race card. here is the truth. 91% of METRO ATL (that means within the city limits) is of african descent. so it is safe to safe that about 88% of that 91% is black. now before a liberal like yourself says i am racist because i said BLACK, sit down and learn the facts. what i stated in my post is NOT going to be editted. it is truth. the assailants were black. they jumped another human being. ok. are you still with me? now, he retaliated and killed 2 of them, according to fox news. he was let off because the detectives saw that he was in the right. so telling me to speak in your cheese and whine language and calling my posts racist shows that you are a fool. once again, stop reading the new york times and hilary rodham clinton bullshit and wisen up.

 

[meshmdz]

benchmade nut - yes it CAN be racist if something is true.. just because something is correct doesnt negate its racist tone if there is, in fact, one there.. however, as needleremorse fails to realize, there is no racist remark in my post. but there is a foolish lib-turb spewing illogical BS in response to it.

Gentlebeings, none of this discussion of the races of any of the people involved in the incident or residing in the city where the incident occurred has anything to do with Blade Discussion, or anything to do with the topic of this thread. There are places on the net where you can publish your theories about races, but Bladeforums is not one of them. The plank is waiting....
