Chicago mugger picked the wrong victim

Love the mug shot!

I would have turned his gun on him. He got off easy.

He did end up shooting himself in the ankle as the guy was taking the gun away.

Some excerpts from the article...
Quote:
While the victim's name was not released, the six-foot-two, 250-pound MMA expert identified himself as "Justin," a Romanian who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC)

"The round went off," Justin said. "I put him down to the ground. He was fighting. He didn't want to give up and was begging me to let him go."

In the scuffle, Miranda reportedly shot his own ankle before police arrived and arrested him.

"He was begging me to let him go. He said he has a baby," Justin said.

Justin told the Sun Times he used to do high-risk training and hostage rescue in the military but works in "clubs" and "close preotection."

Holy sheetz.. thats awesome. I want to buy that Justin tough guy a drink! I live in Chicago and roaches in packs like this have started to invade Michigan Ave. Wish there more of plain clothed cops doing the clean-up and dump these roaches in the river. Make it happen quietly... ya know what I mean ; )

Looks like one guy in Chicago has the ability to defend himself. Too bad for everyone else.

That mug shot makes the mugger look dead. He got a serious beat down!

Any bets on whether the MMA guy gets sued for excessive force or not declaring he was himself a lethal weapon before the attacker could change his mind?

I like "happy stories" and he only got 1/4 what he deserved.

I wonder if he gave the "Eddie Murphy" speech while in jail?

That would be a safe bet, if not from him maybe from an over zealous State Prosecutor

What a funny thing to say. False, and stupid, but funny. Oh wait, you're still under the completely false misconception that no one in Chicago carries a weapon except for the criminals.

Heck, I'm under the impression that essentially, only cops and criminals in Chicago have guns.

What's the real story with Chicago?
