A badass in Yuma??

Hell yeah!

Wednesday at 0430 a former Marine prevents a armed robbery at a Yuma gas station...

The pictures do not do it justice. pac only typed in Yuma Marine and videos are everywhere. If you want t o actually see how fast it all happened...

T o all the Marines out there, the badass, name not released... Stated " The Marine Corp taught me not to mess around"...

He held the suspect, who he disarmed, with his gun. While you could see another suspect crawling and attempting t o run out the front door. Where he escaped with another accomplice waiting in a vehicle...

The caught suspect is 14 years old! Talk about going down the wrong path...

This Marine who was beyond humbled when interviewed will be given a Medal of Valor!
Just fucking outstanding... A hero who walks among us...

C'mon Yern...

How about just appreciating a "feel good story" with all the negativity around us..

I was a Soldier not a Marine but an "Oorah!" and "Semper Fi" are definitely due! Respect!

Little rays of sunshine in a gloomy world are so great. All this old airman can say is SEMPER FI

No doubt Grey!

I love this story... It brought a smile to my face and hope in my heart...
That people will still step up when they can change a outcome...

As a Marine Corp brat; Semper Fi!

Thanks for your comments..

reminds of of an old song "don't take your guns to town". Bravo!

Stupid punk kid trying to get someone hurt or himself killed..
"Bravo" is right!

All I can say to my fellow Marine is Semper Fi!

Most people have heard it, but it bears repeating... There is no such thing as a 'former' Marine. Once a Marine, you're always a Marine - Maybe just not on active duty.

Well, Semper Fi dude.

And Semper Fi to you too.

You are totally right Plz…

No “former” Marine…
I always love a good military story…
And when my faith in humanity is restored!

Semper Fi!

Great pac, I'll have to see if I can do a search & find the video.
It's great when those who have the skills take action. Hopefully the
kid can get his life turned around, so something good will come from
the bad he has done.

A few years ago in Germany four service men were on a train, 1 Brit
& 3 Americans. Some terrorist whips out an AK47 keen on carrying
out some atrocity. Lets just say it didn't go well for him, they soon
shut that little game down.


pac369 replies on 10/23/2021 5:38 pm:
I remember that story Dave...
They even made it into a movie...

When you have the skills I think it's wonderful to do what you can... Where was a marine on that train in Philly?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts...

As a veteran it makes me proud when a patriot and good citizen does the right thing and puts down the bad guys. Yes, 14, is a bad start but maybe this capture will help him back on the right path. Semper Fi.

Only time will tell about this.

And glad the Marine took care of the situation..
Thanks for your comments..
