Man injured while robbing Best Buy

Probably didn't really happen but I received this in an e-mail and you gotta love stories with happy endings - Joe

Orville Smith, a store manager for Best Buy in Augusta, Georgia, told police he observed a male customer, later identified as Tyrone Jackson of Augusta, on surveillance cameras putting a laptop computer under his jacket... When confronted the man became irate, knocked down an employee, drew a knife and ran for the door.　

Outside on the sidewalk were four Marines collecting toys for the "Toys for Tots" program.　 Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of the Marines, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back, the injury did not appear to be severe.

After Police and an ambulance arrived at the scene Cpl. Duggan was transported for treatment. The subject was also transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken ankle, a broken leg, several missing teeth, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions, assorted lacerations, a broken nose and a broken jaw... injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell off of the curb after stabbing the Marine.

True or not, that brought a smile to my face.

Partially true (the last sentence did not appear in any of the news reports): snopes.com: Stabbed Marine

Sort of a feel good, but honestly, if the Marines (3 or 4 of them) had stopped the guy and inflicted that much damage (broken nose, jow, ribs, leg, ankle, both arms and various other stuff), they beat him until he was down, and then continued to stomp the living crap out of him. It sounds like it would have been a bit excessive.

Yeah...have to agree. I mean, all those broken bones PLUS multiple contusions? Probably could have let the guy off with maybe just one or two of 'em.
