Marine LT saving the world
ROS sends us a link from the Boston Globe about a woman who was the victim of a purse-snatching in Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood. Like Batman, a Marine lieutenant chased the purse snatcher for four blocks;
A Boston police report said the woman told officers that she “ran after [Demetrick Nealy, 26, of Roslindale] yelling that her purse had been stolen.”
She was heard by the Marine, a 23-year-old lieutenant from Corona, Calif., who chased Nealy for about four blocks and tackled him on Stuart Street, said [District Attorney Daniel F.] Conley’s office and police.
“This young man saw what was happening and sprinted into action,” Conley said in a statement.
Two state troopers in plain clothes, who witnessed part of the chase, were the first on scene at 37 Stuart St. and found the Marine, who authorities did not identify because he is a witness in the case, holding down Nealy.
Of course, this story will be splashed across the national news tonight, or not.

As you would expect from any military man. Semper Fi
Good job Marine! Semper Fi! I like reading good stories about veterans and AD personnel doing the right thing for their community and other folks. A welcome relief from the usual losers we get here.
The thugs tend to forget that “getting involved” is what military types do for a living. 🙂
Way to go Marine!! Semper fi!
As a naval officer, I would have done the same thing. The only difference being I would have asked that it count as my PRT for the cycle.
Semper Fi
*AAAAAHHHHH!* Another breath of fresh air! It’s great to hear about Real Vets in action now and then, it’s a nice break from the parade of punks getting their chops busted here.
WAY TO GO, LT!!
Sure the MSM will cover it: “Marine attacks inner city jogger”
Must be a Second Lt.. A 1st Lt. would have sent a couple of Pvts after the bad guy. then take credit for the capture. Jokes aside,as said before this what servicemen do, run to the trouble. A sharp hand salute to the Lt. One for one Today. One Ex-Marine shitbird and one Outstanding Marine. Semper Fi Sir. Joe
