Lucky Dog vendor, threatened, puts Marine training to work...In all fairness to the "Only Ones," that's not quite true. There are a few defensive options they think we're qualified to implement, including:
Police officials routinely discourage citizens from resisting armed robbers because of the risk. [More]
1. Vomiting
2. Surrendering
3. (My personal favorite) Screaming (while poking with "a rat tail comb")
4. Pulling the covers over your head.
As an aside, if the thief had succeeded and was later caught, I wonder if the money they found on him would be reportable to state auditors...?
And they say there are no stupid questions...

Wow. I love how the media gives him the "Only one" status because he was a Marine a few decades ago...
"They should have charged that crackhead with Attempted Murder and Attempted Robbery, but then again they coddle criminals in Orleans Parish..." partial comment from the story at Times-Picayune.
they have to coddle them, Nagin needs their votes to stay in office.
I routinely discourage PEOPLE (not "citizens") from listening to police officials. So, there.
I think there must be a handbook of guidelines that all "authorized journalists" must follow, according to the given subject matter of any story. They just had to work that in there, in case anyone thought "hey, maybe body-slamming criminals IS a great idea!"
Steve K, he wasn't given "Only One" status. He was accorded respect for his courage. And everybody respects Marines. In their barrel the "few bad apples" is a truth they do all they can to throw out, unlike "Only Ones", who do all they can to protect their many bad apples.
