I love it either way.
Well yes, during their struggle the idiot accidentally fired a shot and hit himself, but it just makes me laugh that this guy almost literally shot himself in the foot. An inch over and he'd have had it. Ah well, close enough.

The story is so hilarious that it has become a national news story. I've seen it in the online newspapers for other cities out of town. Wonder if this robber had any idea he'd become the butt of many jokes nationwide, lol. And I'm sure if this MMA champ ever returns to the ring, his star power will increase without a doubt.

Speaking of "butts", I have a feeling he's going to be the "butt" of a whole different kind of joke pretty soon. "Watch out, that soap is pretty slippery..."

I hope I don't read about the robber suing the "victim" for civil damages!
Sounds very Eastwood/Dirty Harrry like. Hooray!!

Oy vey, another crazy thing about the goon (would-be robber). His address is listed in the 8900 block of Bronx Ave in Skokie. Of course, he decided to venture south to attempt his dirty deeds. Who woulda thunk it? LOL.
