Poetic Justice

This is what CAN happen when a career criminal with a gun tries to rob a MMA fighter.

Not only did he get pounded, but also managed to shoot himself.

Who would have thought. This guy needs to find a new line of work.

Yup, just having a gun with you doesn't make you billy bad .....

Think having one can give some people a false sense of security.

This is what I would call an epic failure in the victim selection process.

Based on the wording it's painfully apparent that the author of that piece has no knowledge of mixed martial arts (MMA). Anyhoo, great to hear!


Wait…..I thought Chicago doesn't allow its citizens to carry guns? Did the criminal(s) not get the memo or……..?

I thought gun laws prevented crime....????

My world is crashing in on me now that I find out this isn't true.

Funny stuff. That reminds me of the story I read where a guy stabbed a Marine who was standing there with three other Marines. The guy doing the stabbing was trying to get away after shoplifting. Oddly enough the shoplifter had to be hospitalized with a long list of broken bones and other injuries after "falling off of the curb".
