Lucky Dog vendor, threatened, puts Marine training to work

Roy Lee Gant, a Lucky Dog vendor in the French Quarter, may look like an easy mark for an armed robber.
He wears a candy-cane-striped button-up shirt. He wheels around sausage and condiments to sell in a 1,200-pound cart shaped like a ballpark wiener, opting to make ends meet in the manner of Ignatius J. Reilly in "A Confederacy of Dunces."
None of that oozes toughness. But Gant is a former U.S. Marine, trained in hand-to-hand combat. And a 42-year-old man accused of attempting to rob Gant at knifepoint the night of Dec. 5 found that out too late, New Orleans police say.
Geaux Marines!!

The two wrestled. While struggling to keep the blade at bay with his left hand, Gant elbowed and punched his attacker's body and face with his right arm and hand.
Gant sensed the robber lose his balance. He reached for the man's crotch and lifted him up, still holding onto one of his arms with his left hand.
Gant then slammed the robber face-first off the curb, gashing his attacker's forehead wide open.

When doctors released the swollen-eyed, scraped-up Garmany, officers booked him with one count of attempted armed robbery, according to the report. He remained behind bars Wednesday in lieu of $50,000 bail.
I really needed a story with a happy ending today. :rotf:

SWEET!!!!! :II:

Do you think Garmany lost face with that little stunt?
(Gant, good on ya, guy. :cheersmate: )

Laizzez le bon temps roulez!

Great Christmas story, thanks....

Score another one for the good guys :cheersmate:

The bad guy is lucky the Marine didn't show him the proper use of that knife.

Now watch him get sued for attacking the poor robber.
I wish I was kidding.

I wish you were too. Unfortunately there are far too many ambulance chasers who'll Monday-morning quarterback this engagement and fill some complete numbskull jury full of crap about how he "should have measured his response", and "he had control of Mr. Garmany, there was no need to slam him to the ground".
Unfortunately, this guy is about to have his life destroyed by the legal system.

Yeah, you're right.
Lawyers are 95% democrats so they're always looking for a victim. I say when we take over, we build a special camp just for liberal lawyers..... in the far northern area of Alaska.....They should be happy there, it'll be just like Siberia..... :rotf:

Well, in that case we should.
They should have given the bastard a bullet through the brain pan out away from the accusing eyes of a superior officer.
The next Seal team should know better...

Beautiful! Reminds me of the story they had up in NYC about a year or so ago about some low-life who tried to snatch a purse from a wheel-chair bound lady - who promptly shot the SOB with her .357 magnum.
Of course, as has been mentioned in this case, the victim is being victimized by the mugger again - he's sued her for $5million, claiming permanent nerve damage. See here (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/31/dirty_harriet/).

Great story.
In MN, the former marine would be in jail for attempted murder.

For those not familiar with the training that move is called "Grab, twist, pull." And is practiced constantly.
