Marines saving the world

| January 10, 2015

Two teenagers in Lynnwood, Washington forgot where they were when they tried to rob a 60-year-old woman in a parking lot near a Marine Corps recruiting station,, according to KIROTV;

“We thought there was road rage involved or a fight broke loose,” said Sgt. Riccardo Schebesta.

Schebesta and two other recruiters rushed outside and saw a woman yelling for help.

“She said, ‘Help me I’m being robbed.’ I stopped paying attention to her. She’s not the problem,” said Staff Sgt. Ben Shoemaker.

He immediately saw one of the suspects, and ran to try and catch them.

“No — that kid was never going to outrun me,” Shoemaker added. “Marines run towards the sound of chaos.”

The Marines were able to capture one of the thugs and he’s cooling his heels in a cell on $25,000 bail.

He better be sure to annotate that “area canvass” in his Schedule & Results book.

Should read “policed parking lot for trash”

Another example in the record book that those in uniform really are our best and brightest.
Thank you Marines and thank you to the Corp for bringing them to the level of perfection that they are…
Salute.

Being Marines, should not the story have ended with the little shithead cooling his heels in the ICU ward?

And how many times did the little twatwad try to escape and fall down in the parking lot and bruise itself?

You know what I mean.
