Don't screw with Marines, not even reservists...
November 27, 2010
Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. - A U.S. Marine reservist collecting toys for children was stabbed when he helped stop a suspected shoplifter in eastern Georgia.
Best Buy sales manager Orvin Smith told The Augusta Chronicle that man was seen on surveillance cameras Friday putting a laptop under his jacket at the Augusta store.
When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an employee, pulled a knife and ran toward the door. Outside were four Marines collecting toys for the service branch's "Toys For Tots" program.
Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of them, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back. The cut did not appear to be severe.
The suspect was transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken leg, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions and assorted lacerations including a broken nose and jaw... injuries he sustained when he fell trying to run after stabbing the Marine.
The suspect, whose name was not released, was held until police arrived. The Richmond County Sheriff's office said it is investigating.

Isn't that like a Marine to use somebody's face, arms, legs to shine their boots. All I can say is them there boots must have been shined to a ultra high gloss.

Best Buy deserves to get robbed. My sister use to work there, she got punched on black Friday by a customer. They would not even let her get of the floor, I should mention my sister is about 5'4" and 110 lbs, no real big. Best Buy is the devil in my eyes for the way they treat their employees.

I learned long ago that when when you mess with one marine you mess with his buddies too....not a wise maneuver and normally you get what you ask for.....in this case multiple fractures and other various injuries.
