And now, an Update from our "Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes" Desk...

Four gangsters clearly picked the wrong target when they broke into mixed martial arts fighter (MMA) Joe Torrez’s mobile home last week.

In an early morning break-in gone wrong on New Year’s Day morning, Torrez, 27, reportedly defended his home, killing one of the intruders and badly injuring a second man after the group forcibly entered his house in Las Cruces, N.M, The Daily Mail reported.

The two remaining intruders were apparently so shaken after Torrez fatally stabbed one and beat another that they fled the scene and were later apprehended by authorities.

Police found the body of Sal Garces, 25, near the MMA fighter’s trailer home and the injured individual, 20-year-old  Nathan Avolos, was taken to the hospital following the clash.

The trouble started around 2 a.m. when Garces, 19, his brother Raymond Garces, 20, Avolos, and Leonard Calvillo, 22, reportedly broke into Torrez’s home, armed themselves with sharp weapons and a fight ensued.

The four intruders are known gang members, police said.

The thugs called the guy to threaten him (aka: warn him they were coming).  :banghead:

Of course.

Time to start putting these rabid dogs down.  They're infecting the entire country.

In their defense, I doubt they had any idea of exactly what was waiting for them on the other side of the trailer door.  Which, to most civilized people, would be enough to stop them from doing something so stupid as to try and relieve a man of his possessions.

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

Well, I knew they didn't exactly know what was on the other side of the door...   I was just adding my color commentary.  CrUnCHY!

Opps didn't see this thread earlier.  Thanks for merging.

Good for him!

Wish I was so handy.  One of my foster kids got into MMA in the southeastern states.  I always worried about him getting hurt, but other than bruises he seems to have fared well.
