This is why.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/m...ber-beat-shot-leg-gun-report-article-1.987367

An alleged robber in Chicago picked the wrong man to mess with.

Anthony Miranda, 24, attempted a robbery and carjacking, police said, but his would-be prey was a 33-year-old mixed martial artist who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championships. The tables were turned rather quickly, reports the Chicago Tribune.

According to police, the near-victim said Miranda approached his car on near Kenneth Ave. and 55th St. and asked for a light. The man, who did not want to be identified, said he didn’t have a light when Miranda pulled a gun, demanded valuables and told the driver to get out of the car, police said.

What happened next is probably what you would expect when someone tries to rob an MMA fighter: a struggle ensued.

Miranda was left with bad bruises all over his face and a bullet in his ankle after the gun discharged during the presumably one-sided fight, according to the report.

The UFC fighter was able to hold Miranda on the ground until police arrived.

Miranda got a trip to the hospital and is being held on $350,000 bail.

According to the Tribune, Miranda is on parole and has served time for multiple burglaries. He was released from prison in March 2010.

Obviously our prison system is just fantastic.

Keep wasting my money, assholes. Consider it my rent for living in this shithole country.

Edit: lol at the pathetic, overly patriotic people.

Agree about the prison system, disagree about the shithole country. I've lived in other countries and I'd rather be here. I'm sure nobody would stop you from leaving.

Have to agree with Beev that prison system needs work. In other countries I have visited, prisoners are sentenced to corporal punishment in addition to prison sentences. For instance in Malaysia and Singapore, you get caned in addition to serving time. One of my Indian friends tell me that if you get locked up in India, your family still needs to feed you and sustain you by bringing food to the prison. Whether or not some of those things can happen here is another story but making life harder for prisoners is what some of these criminals need. I just need to point out that there is a much stronger deterrent to crime and a fear of returning to prison in those other countries.

Regardless, good for the MMA fighter who defended himself. The mugger even got a bullet in his own ankle from his own gun. Excellent. However, I'm still waiting for an ATOT retard to post a defense for the attacker.

Sadly you have done nothing to help this country.

My mental image of the situation has Mike Goldberg shouting "It is all over!!!" in the background as Miranda gets his ass kicked.

I bet it was Andrei Arlovski.

He's 32 and hails out of Chicago

If it is, that is definitely one of the last guys I would try to mug.

Then again, his fight against Tim Sylvia in 2006 was the first and last UFC PPV that I will ever pay for. What a snoozefest.


Edit: Can't be Arlovski, he doesn't fight in UFC.

Not anymore but he used to

I mean if you came across an actor or actress who doesn't actually star in new films anymore you would still call them an actor/actress, right? I figure the cops or reported would have reported it this way.

I mean, how many active UFC fighters from Chicago are 33 or thereabouts?

There's plenty of countries with nicer prisons than ours with much lower crime rates. The real problem is that we've allowed a society to form in our prisons that just teaches people how to be better and harder criminals when they get out; that and we friviously send people to prison for things like drug possession.

I don't know why you think it's excellent that he was maimed. Granted, I won't cry for him, but feeding the glee at the injury of others is part of what's wrong with our system. We don't want it to be harsh so we appear civilized, but we want to exact vengance on them too so we don't actually try to rehabiliate anyone.

Pity the mugger's face wasn't shattered. Leave him with a life-long reminder of why you shouldn't be a piece of shit.

I will agree with you on frivolous sentences for things such as drugs. Re: the prison societies, so what? Even if they exist, there still needs to be a stronger deterrent to ex-cons to stay out of prison. If they knew that they were going to get caned or put in a chain gang to dig ditches or something equally deterring, that is going to make some of them think before they engage in criminal activities.

I just don't feel any sympathy for a POS such as him and again, this goes back to my deterrent idea. If other would-be muggers and carjackers see what happened to this ass, if one more carjacking is prevented because another criminal learned from this example, then that is a good thing. The worse this guy got it, the stronger the lesson is to other criminals. Thats the reason for my "glee".

The vast majority of people who commit crimes either act on emotion (don't think of the consequences) or don't plan on getting caught. It's been shown time and time again that deterent past a point simply doesn't work.

Not feeling sympathy is not the same and feeling excellent about the maiming of others. You let your emotions affect your opinion rather than trying to actually work towards something that would create a better society. Your comment of so what to the fact that our prisons just create bolder and more violent criminals attests to this.

If USA prisons were actually anything like some of the prisons I described in my previous post, then you may not actually have some of these bolder and more violent criminals you speak of. IMHO, a better society exists when people stop and think about their actions and have a painful reminder of, for instance, a 10 year prison sentence where they did hard labor or were caned. I do beleive rehabilitation does serve some purpose and can help but overall I still think that prisons are not strict enough and many ex-cons re-offend and return to prison.

USA really need to get their acts together and start using forced hard labors on these thugs. Might as well get our tax monies worth out of these scumbags.

You're simply blind to the human condition. As long as you want what makes you feel good to happen to prisoners you're never going to come up with something that works in this country. If you actually read how detterents affects crime in different populations you'd realize how foolish you are.
