Note to pickpockets: Marines make bad marks

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Bill Barnes says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when he felt a hand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash.
He immediately grabbed the person's wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened.
"I guess he thought I was an easy mark," Barnes, 72, told The Grand Rapids Press for a story Tuesday.



He's anything but an easy mark: Barnes served in the Marines, was an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer and retired after 20 years as an iron worker.
Jesse Daniel Rae, 27, was arraigned Monday in Rockford District Court on one count of unarmed robbery.
Barnes said he had just withdrawn the money from a bank machine and put it in the pocket of his shorts before driving to a service station in Comstock Park, a Grand Rapids suburb.
He remembers noticing a patron acting suspiciously, asking the price of different brands of cigarettes and other items. While turned away, Barnes felt the hand in his pocket, so he took action.
"I guess I acted on instinct," he said.
'Blood everywhere'
Kent County sheriff's deputies said the store manager quickly came around the counter. The three struggled through the front door, where two witnesses said the manager slammed Rae to the ground and held him there.
"There was blood everywhere," said another manager on duty, Abby Ostrom, 25.







Barnes was a regional runner-up in Golden Gloves competition in the novice and open divisions before enlisting in the Marines in 1956.
After retiring as an iron worker, he now works part-time as a starter at a golf course.
Barnes said he'd probably do the same thing again under the same circumstances, if for no other reason than what he would face back home.
"I wouldn't want my wife to give me hell for lettin' that guy get my money," he said with a smile.
 
Heres to the 2nd Amendment! If every citizen exercised that right ,with training, there would alot fewer criminals!:us:

A head and a chest, with two shots. I'd say he was trained well.

John Cena says hell yeah!
 
I can just hear the screaming. Lordy, Lordy, I can'ts believes he done shot my little baby!!!! He was always a good boy. He was gonna be a deacon in da church!!!!!
What dat lawyers number?
Wouldn't be surprised if someone in "the community" starts complaining about the easy availability of concealed carry permits.
I wonder how many times these guys have gotten away with stuff like this. If more honest citizens were armed maybe these fellows would find some gainfull employment instead of risking their lives every time they commit a crime.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Police converged on a home in northeast Portland Friday after a home owner reportedly shot and injured an intruder.

Police say evidence at the home is consistent with a forced entry and that residents in the home woke up early Friday after hearing breaking glass and someone moving around in an enclosed porch area of the home.

A 71-year-old man in the residence reportedly fired one shot at the suspected intruder.

The injured suspect, a 26-year-old male, was transported to a local hospital with injuries described as "life threatening." Police say he was shot in the head.

One local resident said he sees "weird people" walking around the area at all hours of the night and is not surprised at the incident.

Oregon law does permit the use of deadly force if a homeowner feels a threat is imminent.

Northeast Glisan street between 105th Avenue and 109th Avenue was closed for several hours while police investigated the incident.
