With all that is going on with Herman Cain down, Newt or Romney?, Iran, Russia, Europe, Afghanistan, Pakistan, College pedophilia,,,, Lions, Tigers and Bears oh my! Just where does one begin?
I know! Real justice!
And from none other than Obamas' adoptive hometown, Chicago,,,,,
CHICAGO (WLS) - A convicted felon chose the wrong victim when he tried to rob an ultimate fighting champion Friday night on the Southwest Side and ended up with two black eyes and a gunshot wound to the ankle.
Police say 24-year-old Anthony Miranda walked up to a car which was parked near 55th and Kenneth about 11:30 p.m. and asked the driver for a lighter.
When the driver said he didn’t have one, Miranda allegedly pulled a handgun, pointed it at the driver and demanded money. And even after getting some money, he ordered the driver out of the car, police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.
At some point, Miranda’s attention was diverted and the victim was able to grab control of the gun and the two wrestled.
During the fight, Miranda accidentally discharged his gun, shooting himself in the ankle, Mirabelli said.
The victim -- who told police he’s a martial arts expert and ultimate fighting champion -- was able to pin Miranda down until police arrived. Police arrived to find Miranda with a face full of lacerations and two black eyes. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment, police said.
Miranda, a convicted felon, is charged with armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, a Class X felony.
He was ordered held on $350,000 bond Sunday, according to the CooK County Sheriff’s office.
Records show he has several convictions, including at least one for a residential burglary.
For those who may be unaware of what the intended unnamed victim does to earn such a title as an "ultimate fighting champion", well here is a taste,,,,,,
Yes, I would say justice, a heavy dose of it, was done in this case before "authorities" arrived.
On a much, much more lighter note I would like to kick off the Christams season here at CP with a terrific song to our British friends with a particular seasonal favorite of our friend Banned,,,

Gotta love that karma thing!
I love it when a bad guy gets his.
About time you got your A$$ back here. I like the new Christmas look your blog.
My favorite story was when two guys tried to mug an 80+ year old Jack Dempsey. They were pretty happy when the cops showed up to rescue them from the old guy.

Ah karma, what goes around comes around. Indeed it is to be loved!
RE: Odie,,,
Yep. Talk about 'right time, right place'! And thanks, was trying a more Christmas feel with a regional touch to it.
RE: Trestin,,,
The Dempsey story is a classic event of would be robbers being up-ended and thanks for reminding us!
Wow, this guy got whooped! Looks like Vader when he took the helmet off. But uglier.
It's nice to hear of something going right from time to time. :)
RE: Inno,,,
