Okay, it wasn’t actually a shooting, but I think everyone will agree with my bending the rules in this case. Here’s the headline:
Schoolchildren disarm robber and stab him to death after being held at gunpoint
The 40-year-old man reportedly approached the two schoolchildren, a girl and a boy, on a bike. They reported that he was armed with a gun and knife and tried to steal their phones. The Public Prosecutor’s Office said that the victims got into a struggle with the man, with one of them snatching the knife off him. The man was stabbed two or three times but managed to get away on his bike. Shortly after he was found lying in the road.
I guess the moral of the story is: Don’t mess with Chilean teenagers.
And this last item will come as a surprise to exactly nobody:
The prosecutor also confirmed that the deceased had previous criminal records.
…which ended right there, on a dusty street somewhere in Chile. [/Hemingway]
Good job kids! See, complying with criminals results in more criminal behavior. That is where we must resist. Resist against criminals. Make crime dangerous and fewer people will choose to commit crime.
Pardon me if I do not show proper contrition for his expiration there. I am mostly– only- concerned that the two teens were not injured in the “fracas”
My only other hope is that perhaps, as he bled out, his last thought was , “Holy Mother of God! Is this the end of Rico?”
