Former Marine Sergeant stabs robber

Posted by: Wim | Comments (13)

I just saw this video here. No idea if it’s fake or not, looks real enough.

Looks like it was shot on the store’s CCTV system but it has pretty good sound, though you might need to turn it up to hear the robber speak. And then turn it down right after so your kids or colleagues don’t hear what the former Marine says at the end (you’ve been warned!)

What it looks like to me is this:

The robber comes in and produces the gun.
He demands the money in the register.
“Grits” aka “Uncle Bill”, which seems to be his name, stabs him and chases him off

Anyway, I’d like to hear from any LEO or criminal defense attorney out there what they make of it: Is this self defense? If not, what is it in the eyes of the law?

"Uncle Bill Gritts" stabs the robber.

UPDATE: I should have made it clear right away but I do know the US justice system varies from state to state. So a universal answer is not possible. That’s OK. If you can comment on how things would look in your jurisdiction, that’s plenty good by me.

Also, I know anything can happen once a case ends up in court. Just your opinion, based on your professional experience, is perfectly fine as answer. Thanks!

Bus beat down, part 3

Posted by: Wim | Comments (3)

Here’s the third part of the bus beat down saga. The old man tells it as he saw it.

Again, form your own conclusions as to if his description matches what you saw in the video.

Bus beat down

Posted by: Wim | Comments (11)

This one here is going the rounds on the Internet. I’m not going to comment on who’s “right”, take a look:

It reminds me of the infamous sentence “It all started when I called him a goat-sucking asshole.” Somehow, it seems to me a wee bit of Verbal Judo could have dissolved the whole situation… But that’s just me.
