A mugger ended up getting a lot more than he bargained for when he picked the wrong victim to rob at gunpoint. Bruised and bloodied Anthony Miranda was arrested after attempting to steal money from a six foot two, 250-pounds mixed martial arts expert - who ended up wrenching the loaded gun from his hand after Miranda pointed it at his chest on Friday night in Chicago. Miranda - a 24-year-old convicted felon - was charged with armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm in the alleged attack, which happened around 11.30pm. Police say he also shot his own ankle in the attack. Speaking to the Chicago Sun Times, Justin - who did not want to be identified - said he was waiting in his parked car for a friend to arrive when Miranda approached and shoved a gun to the side of his head. He said: 'He asked me for my wallet, for my phone and my keys. I told him I don’t have a wallet, I only have cash. He cursed me — like 'm***** f*****' and said he would blow my brains out.' When he was ordered out of the car, Justin made a maneuver he learned in training which took his attacker by surprise and disarmed him. 'The round went off,' Justin told the paper. '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.' He kept his alleged mugger restrained until police arrived and arrested him. He said: 'I wasn't scared because I'm trained. I don’t feel like a hero. Training matters. If you’re well trained, you have a chance to survive.'

Crime doesn't pay.
-- No, it doesn't. This clown got what he deserved, in fact; he's very lucky to be alive and able to go back to prison where he'd already served six years for burglary being paroled last march. His bail is 3000,000 and I don't see him seeing the light of day any time soon.

the Top 1% will get the same treatment...;} Corzine at the top of the list at the moment. "Insurgents are now targeting power lines importing electricity into Iraq from Iran. Despite great oil wealth, Iraq has little ability to produce its own electricity, and this has lead to riots, particularly in the summertime. Three policemen were killed and two more wounded in a blast in Falluja. Gunmen stormed a home where they killed a policeman. In Kirkuk, a bomb killed a prosecutor. A railroad official and his son were wounded in a separate blast. A third bombing wounded a gas employee. A businessman was also killed. A blast in Abu Ghraib killed one policeman and wounded three more. An attack on electrical towers supplying power from Iran left one policeman dead and two others wounded near Hamrim Lake. It is the second attack this week.
