U.S. senior `snaps' masked attacker's neck
Feb 24, 2007 04:30 AM
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.
Police identified the dead man as Warner Segura, 20. The other two assailants fled. Hernandez refused to identify the tourist who killed Segura.
The U.S. embassy confirmed the account, but also refused to release the name of the former marine. Costa Rican officials said they wouldn't charge the American tourist because he acted in self-defence.

The Marine was probably some kind of conservative nut that belived he had the right of self defense! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Old age and treachery beat youth and skill any day.
After years of abuse it will soon be my turn. I plan to learn to victimize the young first with social security, and later with medicare. As a final step, I will likely kill and eat young people. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
My son sent me a copy of this story and said he could picture me doing this on a trip. Sometimes you just have to watch who you attack. The predator can become the victim really quick.
In Alaska concealed carry is OK, and no permit is required.

We could do with a few ex US marines in the UK to come over and sort out these imbeciles we have running around the London area and the big cities with guns, a lot of violence, big fat lips and bad attitudes. #It seems they are running rings around the police and everybody else and believe they need to be shown respect. The only respect they should get is 2 years hard labour, 12 hours a day and a good kicking every third day in prison.

I have noticed that when hand guns are banned then only the crims have them

yes, there are many of them.
but their government does not trust them with firearms, so they have all been disarmed to make things ''safer'' for everyone involved. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif
