Former Marine fends off Atlanta robbers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA -- A former Marine used a pocket knife to fend off a group of would-be robbers, killing one and wounding another, police said.

Thomas Autry, who authorities said will not be charged, had been walking home from his job waiting tables Monday night when four people got out of a car and chased him, Atlanta police detective Danny Stephens said.

One of the attackers had a shotgun and another had a pistol, Stephens said.

The suspects caught up with Autry, who yelled for help and pulled a knife out of his backpack. He kicked the shotgun out of one of the attacker's hands and stabbed both a 17-year-old girl who jumped on him and a man who also attacked him.

The suspects fled in their car but police found them later at a hospital where the girl was pronounced dead. The man stabbed in the incident was in critical condition, Stephens said.

Autry's attackers will face robbery and aggravated assault charges and are suspected in other robberies over the past week, Stephen said.

Stephens credited Autry's military training with helping him fend off the group.

"I would say he had to do what he had to do to stop the threat," Stephens said. "You can tell his training kicked in and he knew what to do."

Autry, 36, suffered a cut to his hand and a bruise on his chest, Stephens said.

He should receive the man of the year award. That is some serious PWNAGE!

I'm going to create an archive for articles like this, like the one where this guy had his arm trapped under a rock and he cut if off with a dull penknife. Very manly! HUA!

P.S I still think Joe the Homophobe is Henry Makow.

Most assaults and robberies "succeed" because the perpetrator is prepared to inflict violence, while the victim isn't prepared to receive violence or to dish any back.
A former Marine, the defender was trained to fight/kill efficiently, and the four who attacked him most likely cooked up this wacky idea on the spot or shortly before and had little experience in street fighting and/or muggings.
A reverse situation in which the victim is more than prepared to receive and inflict violence, and the perps were not.
It lightens my heart to hear of these stories, because we're told not to resist, to always comply. Well, that doesn't work all of the time, in fact I'm sure many people have regretted not fighting back, wishing they had at least tried to resist, even as the very last of their lifeblood dribbled down the gutter of a dark alley.
If more of us fought back, suddenly and viciously, there would be far fewer crimes - perhaps if more sheep turned into wolves, more wolves would turn into sheep.

PS - Take this story as an anomaly only. Please, for your own safety, always bring a gun to a gunfight.

I'm still waiting for someone to mug a suicide bomber.

LOL... that would be pretty interesting.

Mugger: I see you're hiding something under your shirt there... must be pretty valuable. Give it to me or else!

Terrorist: As you wish...

Well, if there's any "good" thing about suicide bombers... you can only use 'em once.

Ah yes the Marines. Here in the Philippines, cops run at the sight of danger. Makes you only appreciate more when someone is willing to take a stand and fight back and not ***** out! Great story!

Now, where's that Wine Country Jacka55 who was squawkin' about banging a chick whose man was in Iraq?

Notice that the marine straight killed someone and isn't going to be charged. Are you surprised? I'm not. It's called a "military discount". Dude straight shanked a 17 year old girl. He's not getting charged with jiggidy-jack-sh!t.

I saw a video of the guy...he is like 6'6" tall and looks like Manute Bol (the basketball player)...a VERY SKINNY guy. I think the robbers made a mistake and confused him by a tall-skinny-wimp.

He served in 1992...so, he is more of a Marine Veteran. It is like me killing a potential rubber and the news saying, "Former Gulf War Vet kills robbers". GREAT for news...and thinking about it...I seriously doubt the would charge me.

Knife vs. guns. I love old school people

It definitely shocked me to read that he killed a 17 year old girl. I mean... it was justified if she was attacking him, but it doesn't sound like she had a gun. Sure, mugging people is terrible and deserves punishment, but death is harsh. Especially for a kid.

 

[Chillisauce]

would you be saying that if it was a 17 year old boy? She had it coming.

 

[KontrollerX]

She put his life in danger.

He took out the garbage and did the world a favor by killing her as far as I'm concerned.

When I HEARD and SAW the interview...he said that she was the one that jumped on him (hitting him)...she jumped on him after he knock the gun out of the dudes hand (the shot gun locked on the dude).

He didn't mean to stab her. He punched her as a reaction (he had the knife in his hand) to get her and the other man away from him.

You're talking about this 17 year old thug female like she was an honor student or some humanitarian! she went to mug a guy with her thug friends and she got what was coming to her. I do not feel not 1 bit of sadness and neither should you. What would have happened if they ended up killing the marine? she was already headed for a life of crime she was a scum and a threat to society.

Wow. That's a REAL MAN. Dang, that is awesome.

Play with a bull and you get the horns, .... I mean knife.

 

[Vulpine]

Hooray for woman's equality! You can screw around and get stabbed just like men!

Good on the cvnt, he should've killed all of them.
