...And Speaking Of Marines
Better than all the recruiting ads combined
File this one under "what the hell was I thinking!!??"
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica– A vacationing U.S. senior citizen killed an alleged mugger with his bare hands, and his travelling companions aboard a tour bus fended off two other assailants in the Atlantic coast city of Limon, police said.
The group of about a dozen cruise-ship passengers were climbing out of their vehicle Wednesday when the masked trio – one with a gun, the others with knives – attacked.
Suddenly, one of the tourists, a former U.S. Marine in his 70s, pounced on the gunman and put him in a headlock, breaking his collarbone before eventually killing him, according to Limon police chief Luis Hernandez.
"His neck was completely snapped," Hernandez said.
