(1) Note it took 3 robbers for such a "low reward" but common crime in the Philippines. Labor is cheap. (2) In the US, if you were the Glock wielder, you would probably be legally enjoined not to shoot the second robber. The reverse thinking applies in the Philippines. Preferably shoot all three dead with their knives beside them, to prove you were indeed outnumbered and severely at risk. (3) Not sure about the self-defense lesson here. Always bring a gun to a knife fight? Jay de Leon www.tipunan.com bgdebuque wrote: This one happened at about 11PM inside a jeepney plying the Lawton-Project 8 route. Somewhere along Espana Avenue, 3 knifewielding robbers inside the jeepney announced a hold-up. One was sitting beside the driver, while 2 were sitting at the back of the jeepney. One of the robbers at the back blocked the jeepney exit while the other one acted as the "collector" of the passenger's valuables - cellphones, wallets, wristwatches and other jewelry. A passenger sitting directly behind the driver, told "Mr. Collector" to excuse him from the collection activity because he has really nothing to give. Enraged by this act of defiance, the collector cursed the uncooperative passenger and, knife in his right hand, attempted to grab the shirt of the uncooperative passenger with his left hand. Bad move. Mr. Uncooperative Passenger gave Mr. Collector a push kick-cum-heel stomp on the chest sending him flying towards the back of the jeepney. Almost simultaneously, Mr. Uncooperative Passenger drew the Glock tucked under his shirt. Apparently, in the confusion and the low visibility conditions inside the jeepney, Mr. Collector failed to spot that a Glock has been drawn and lunged forward to stab Mr. Uncooperative Passenger. A single 9x19 round to the chest stopped Mr. Collector in his tracks. Mr. Blocker immediately jumped out of the jeepney but was not fast enough to avoid getting a 9x19 "goodbye" round in the spine. Only the robber sitting in front managed to get away unscathed... I guess, in this particular case, the kick "bought" priceless time for the defender to enable him to deploy his primary weapon. It also misled the attacker into the fatal assumption that he is just up against a "kicking" opponent. He probably never even knew what hit him in the chest... _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list, 2300 members Eskrima@martialartsresource.net Copyright 1994-2006: Ray Terry and Martial Arts Resource Standard disclaimers apply http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Marc Denny" To: Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 21:31:39 -0700 Subject: [Eskrima] Kicking back at the DB Gathering Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Woof All: A dual purpose post here: 1) Fotos from our 6/25 "Dog Brothers Gathering of the Pack" are up at http://dogbrothers.com/gallery/ 2) There's several shots of kicking during the knife fights and during the stick fights too.
