I don't feel bad at all for the creep, he made his bed and now he can lie in it, literally.
that feisty old jar head probably saved more people from getting robbed down the road
anyway...

Speak for yourself, I didn't take a couple years of martial arts to give my stuff to some wuss who has to take what I rightfully earned. Also, most muggers make a lot of bonehead moves such as getting way too close to their victim. Ever see the movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang where the one guy holding the two men hostage gets messed up? What was his mistake? He stood too close to them :eek:. If you're in arms reach while doing something such as holding a firearm, you're just asking to be disarmed :p.

Oh and I sooo watched a lot of Walker Texas Ranger and Power Rangers, so anyone who goes against me is sooooo gunna get f'ed up!

ok, aside from the 1% of the population that has martial arts training/watched the power rangers, most of us would have laid down to take it, if we were in the same situation as these old foggies.

The tourists left on their Carnival cruise ship after the incident and Hernandez said authorities do not plan to press any charges against them.

"They were in their right to defend themselves after being held up," he said.

:thumbsup: Costa Rica.

I'm not going to cheer that someone died, but I'm glad that it was the aggressor and not the victim.

After reading the story, I can't feel bad at all. It's a safe bet that if you regularly commit armed robbery, you're not going to die in your sleep at age 80

I agree, you make the choices that you make and should accept the consequences. But, yeah, I think it's tacky to cheer his death. The guy made some terrible mistakes, probably was poor growing up and desperate. NOT to say that he should be given a free "mug old people!" card... But did he deserve to die? Not really. Did the elderly fellow act wrongly? Not at all - he was defending himself. Kudos to him and his peers for standing up for themselves. I just don't find it especially funny that some punk died over something so trivial.

yup, i agree with you...

Yeah that's what I wondering...in my experience, one can not asphyxiate someone with a mere headlock. As a matter of fact the only way a person would kill someone with a headlock would be to crank their neck to an extreme point.
