Brilliant! I bet the stores CCTV was "faulty" that day.

Steve Hignett - 18/5/11 at 01:22 PM

Genuine LOL at that...

Great......now I've got coffee all over my phone........

Now that is good. But how said is it, that if it had happened here, the "victim" would be the robber. Council sued for the kerb. Store owner sued for not giving away free laptops. And the police investigated, well just to waste some more tax payers money in legal fee's.

Anyway, despite my optimism, a very good story.

I don't know - I could imagine it happening somewhere like Catterick in Yorkshire, near the army camp - but the excuse might be "there was a bit of a struggle when we tried to get the knife off him... we had to relieve him of it for his own good... he might have hurt himself with it..."

As for the original story - a classic case of Darwinism! Who in his right mind is going to stab a marine when 3 others are standing by? They should have him for attempted suicide!

Snopes says the event did happen, but not the unfortunate 'kerb' related injuries.

Brought a genuine smile to my face - just occasionaly justice is done!

Roffle!

That's the funniest thing I've seen in a while! Everyone at work loved it

focijohn - 18/5/11 at 05:57 PM

Thats not a curb...thats called the 3rd story.
Even SWMBO laughed.

Who says there ain't no justice?
And, like the marines, he was a volunteer, so can't complain.
Sweet.
