Moderator note: no more Costa Rica muggers for now
2007-02-24
Moderator note: I've deleted several duplicates of the sebenty-year old Marine killing the Costa Rican mugger with his bare hands and cane. I think we're done with that one.

#7  Maybe calling it a "feel-good" story would be going too far...

No, it *definitely* was a feel-good story.

#6  I posted that one today too. Something about a marine breaking a mugger's neck that has such appeal. Maybe calling it a "feel-good" story would be going too far but, at least, it does give a satisfying feeling of vicarious catharsis.

Or is that just two ways of saying the same thing?

#2  Yes. It too was a duplicate. I posted the original a few days back.

We get 80 to 100 posts a day now. If we don't remove the duplicates we're going to be over-run. Sorry.
