Victims Win - Twice
An overnight worker returning home after dropping off his wife late this morning interrupted a burglar carrying the man's television and Xbox out of his Park Manor apartment building, then won a knife fight with the burglar, police said.
The burglar, a man in his 20s, was in critical condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with multiple stab wounds, said Chicago Police News Affairs....The resident confronted the burglar in the building foyer, and the burglar pulled out a knife, police said.
After the resident pulled a knife to defend himself, the two got into a fight that spilled out onto the street...
Arriving officers had to pull them apart. End result? Offender in critical condition and awaiting charges.
- Robbing a man who turned out to be an ultimate fighter proved to be a bad decision for a convicted felon, who is now in bad shape as he is held on bond.
Police say around 11:30 p.m. Friday, Anthony Miranda, 24, walked up to a car parked at 55th Street and Kenneth Avenue, just a few blocks from Midway International Airport.
Miranda asked the driver for a lighter, and the driver said he didn’t have one. Then Miranda pulled a handgun and demanded that the driver hand over his money, police 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 own gun, shooting himself in the ankle, police said.
The victim — who told police he is a martial arts expert and ultimate fighter — was able to pin Miranda down until police arrived.

F-that! No problem with MMA fighter giving this guy a pumpkin head, but let the media get a hold of a story involving a police officer using force for an "alleged battery against a PO, IF IT DID HAPPEN"
Refer to the recent situation where a female PO protected herself after being jumped and punched in the face. Media called in to question whether the officer was even battered.
I laughed at the story/ enjoyed it.... but I have to feel a bit jealous the MMA gets a "freebie" while police get sued for protecting themselves
Unfortunately then there is this:
Michael J. Kroll, 23, Orland Park, charged with Nov 30 vehicular hijacking of a woman in her 90s at 161 st & Harlem Ave.
Dennis Dodson, 34, no known home address, charged with Sept 23 rape of 83 year old woman at 159th & Harlem Ave.
F-ing cowards need to be aerated.
And not far behind is the guy who ran from 001st District guys tonight after bailing out of a hot car. He jumped down from upper Michigan and broke both legs! Merry Christmas, mother fuckers!
Until we get CC we need to use what's available. Martial Arts and the dumb ass's own gun....
Thats the only justice either will see here in crook county. Double secret super probation for the both of them.
good on yer!!
This is just f*cking awesome. I love it!!!!
Anthony should have stayed with his "real" job as a Goat Herder !!!
Anthony's "husband" in the joint will be happy to know he'll be coming home soon !!!!!
He should be dead.
Not to be picky or anything, but it's pretty much a certainty that the vic wasn't an "Ultimate Fighter", but rather a "Mixed Martial Artist". There is a big difference.
Ultimate Fighting is a mixed martial arts promotion that has essentially become the 'big leagues' of professional MMA. Fighters signed on with the UFC promotion can be called "Ultimate Fighters" however, not all mixed martial artists are "ultimate fighters". It would be like calling anyone with a basketball a NBA player.
Still, good to see the shithead ran into a MMA guy. Most of them are surprisingly cool, but not guys you'd want to fuck with.
Way to go 'Ultimate Fighter.'
fucking A Im glad the good guys won one Or Two
Beers on me
For anyone who follows these reports, it seems that the question, "Do you have a light?" is always asked before the robbery begins.
I bet the real story is, after he disarmed the robber and beat his ass, he picked up the offenders gun and shot him in the ankle for good measure as a lesson.
Listening to the news this morning they reported that the victim grabbed shitheads gun, shot him in the ankle and then proceeded to beat the crap out of him.
He jumped down from upper Michigan and broke both legs!
He be just turning his life around, now he can't GET AROUND!

You see here is a case of GRAND THEFT AUTO-ITIS...
Meaning you can do that shit in the video game and come out ok but try it in real life ...and you wake up and you're human

pretty much. i wasn't robbed but i remember some m/1 walking around wearing a tool belt in garfield ridge, no damn well none of neighbors were getting any work done asked me for a light while i was outside bbq'ing. i told him, "yeah" and lifted up my shirt. needless to say he didn't need the light.
I got a look at this knuckle head while dropping our load of sh*t off for bond hearings at the county the other day. He was in real bad shape.Bloody head to foot. Even the other prisoners were laughing and making fun of the fool.....
Too bad the ultimate fighter didn't break a couple of his limbs, including his trigger finger.
Every time I pull into my garage, especially at this time of year, I have my hand on my gun.
And finally, this a.m., on Channel 5, a story about FOP filing a safety complaint re: lack of security in the stations due to the moron entering with the gun and ammo last month.
A homeless WOMAN killed a policeman a block away from a 'quiet' district station. Yet we welcome these nutjobs to take refuge in our lobbies.
Police stations are there to conduct police business. Since when is it a police function to have sleepovers for neighborhood kids and babysit homeless, mentally ill maniacs?
For God sakes, I have visited numerous suburban depts., and employees are behind bullet-proof glass. You have to show i.d. and state your business just to get buzzed in.
Can we now refer to a this as a Chicago style Mirandizing?
too bad he didn't "accidently discharge" a round in his empty skull
concealed carry now!

Actually do your homework,there is a UFC weigh-in at the UC wed. afternoon and a few UFC stars do live in Chicago. Stephan Bonner, Rashad Evans,Andrei Arlovski just to name a few, so it os very likely that it was a UFC fighter.
Jeez that's like saying ALL cops are smart. Lol
The picture doesn't shows the cast on his leg from a fractured ankle from the gunshot, and add probably 30 staples to close his scalp up,
News affairs got the facts a little bit wrong on the burglar. Lots of blood does not equate to critical condition. Anyway, dude got his ass BEAT...and caught a case. Ha!
I woke up kind of grumpy but when I saw that photo it made my day--- little shorty do wrong got himself a phd ( pumpkin head deluxe ) and got shot with his own gun--- what a f#@%in tard--- he should be ready for boot camp in a few months...
If you read the ST story today about the MMA taking this clown mugger out, it gets a bit more murky: sounds like the winner of this fight is also the sort of freelance bouncer/security guard who often causes various sorts of mayhem. The guy wouldn't let them take his picture, would only use his first name, and talked mysteriously of his "training."

Shut the fuck up. Reading your post is like knowing the difference between a person with a brain and you.
Looks like Anthony got his can of whup ass at Costco!
If any strange male apparently older than ten speaks to me on the street, I immediately take a step or two to be out of arm's/punch's reach. Sad but necessary.
*************MEDIA ALERT***********
Is any of the media not drinking the kool-aid? How about trying this gmac says we have enough manpower correct?
How about doing a simple poll ask the citizens of Chicago for example how long did it take after calling 911 for police to show up? This is not to discredit police at all, this would be just to show the backlog we have! Ask for example: How long for:
*Accident with injuries?
*Domestic?
*Man with weapon gun,knife etc??
*Gang fight?
*Gang loitering?
*House was burglarized how long for response?
*Burglar alarm?
*Other calls!
That is great hope we see more like this,a kill of this animal would of been better fucking punks!
Boss: "How do we know you didn't beat him?"
Dirty Harry: "Because he looks too good."
So what the fuck are those of us that aren't LE or MMA fighters supposed to do?
CC now!
A pal of mine once told me "the bigger they are, the Harder they HIT". A 5'5",140 lb punk takes on 6"1" 250 lb ex military special ops trained war fighter. Gun or no gun, what would you expect the outcome to be? The punk with a gun never expects his prey to fight back and the shock of the attack often is their undoing. It's worked for me a couple of times.
Good job citizen!
The guy is a mixed martial artist. He is NOT an Ultimate Fighter. The Ultimate Fighter and Ultimate Fighter Champions are in a league of their own. It's sort of like saying a guy who plays football in a weekend league is a NFL player.
I myself practice MMA. Most of us (the police) don't know shit when it comes to defending ourselves. Thank the Good Lord that both citizens came up on top with their encounters with these pieces of shit.
This is the best story ever! Too bad shithead, you messed with the wrong guy. I want to send out the pic for my xmas cards. I love it!
Absolutely AWESOME!
Da Pelon
Skokie seems to have alot of shit
I hope Anita Alvarez won't charge the victim with something like using to much force...plus watch the mutt sue the victim for excessive force after some bottom feeding lawyer talks to him. But, Great job by the victim....we need more like him plus Carry Conceal.
Old Retired Guy
I saw that linked from Drudge this morning tonight after work I just knew it would be posted.
Miranda likely noticed his intended victim was in decent shape and was somewhat intimidating but with his illegally possessed gun he was sure he had a monopoly of force.
The solution is concealed carry for those citizens that haven't disqualified themselves by prior bad acts.
Make the criminal unsure that he holds a monopoly of power.

The homie's face looks a supreme pizza!

Ah .... whatever.
I tell you what .... it is a good thing he did not run into the Ultimate Tactical Warrior.
He would have whipped out his ANOV book, completely ignored the armed robbery .... and cited him for "panhandling" or some other such nonsense.
This reminds me of a case I handled a few years ago, there was a crook who was waiting down the street from a bank waiting for someone to come out in order to rob them.
As one man was walking, the offender approached him with his gun out and demanded his money, but the victim decided he did not want to be robbed and grabbed the gun then both of them began fighting over the gun.
The victim was able to get the offender in a headlock and was choking the shit out of him when the offender had a bright idea to shoot the vicitm's arm in order to get away.
But what offender didn't think about that his head was on the other side of the victim's forearm and when he pulled the trigger the bullet went right though the victim's arm and right into his own head.
If that ain't justice, what is?
"Pepperoni pizza! TO GO!
I would love to shake the hand of that crime FIGHTER, that went up against the hoodlum.
Actually do your homework,there is a UFC weigh-in at the UC wed. afternoon and a few UFC stars do live in Chicago. Stephan Bonner, Rashad Evans,Andrei Arlovski just to name a few, so it os very likely that it was a UFC fighter.
Jeez that's like saying ALL cops are smart. Lol
------------
It's possible that the guy was signed with the UFC promotion- and if that's the case, we'll DEFINITELY be hearing more about it (like when Bones Jones took down the mugger) but the fact is, the media is fucking stupid with calling all mixed martial artists "Ultimate Fighters".
It's just uninformed and wrong.
Factual ignorance.
Good for them! Unfortunately, I'm not a martial arts expert, nor someone too keen on close quarter hand to hand knife fights, so without the proctection of a concealed handgun, I'd be pretty much fucked if I was one of these two.
Question to the cops on here: Let's say some thug tried to rob or assault me in the street, and I pulled out a gun that I legally own here, but obviously cannot carry concealed to protect myself or my wife, and shot the guy?
Would I expect to be arrested and treated like a thug criminal on the spot the moment you guys showed after I called 911? Or would I expect sympathy, friendly advice on keeping my mouth shut until I get an attorney, and to get treated with the respect I give to all police?
Thanks,
Not a cop
This mutts face looks like the pizza I ordered last night!
Can you imagine if an offender was brought into the station looking like that and he said a police officer did it? Jesus H. Christ, that poor cop would be down in FBI custody faster than you can say Jody Weiss.
Crime victime out there: If you get the chance, please beat the stuffing out of these offenders because we cannot. We just have to call them "sir."
These two stories with happy endings make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Excellent job MMA fighting man Justin on Miranda's ugly puss. He got what he deserved, a good old fashioned ass whooping.
Here's a good one for the troops: shit head runing from 011 district p.o.'s,in typical westside fashion shithead tries to jump a spiked fence,you guessed it ripped his balls off,ripped both balls off. Had to be transported to the e.r. guick fast and in a hurry. when returned to 011 he was walking like he'd been in a rodeo marathon for 24 hrs straight.
"ya got a light?"
don't smoke podnah...
"ya know what time it is?"
funny... i was finna ax you the same thing since you got a watch on too...
"you know where ol' boy who used to live here at?"
dat muthafuckah dead. ain't he?
"gimme a dollar so i can get on the el."
ax nice muthafuckah! maybe ol' girl will let you through!
"Can you give me a jump?"
if you wasn't on bullshit, cash for clunkers woulda been ya best bet ya muthafuckah!
We have no love for a muthafuckah walking up trying to "probe" whether we're on duty or off...
We're also intolerant of people walking up to us and we're vehicle borne. Even more so in the personal vehicles...
Too many clownish muthafuckahs willing to gamble on a lick for anybody to take this shit lightly...
If one asshole approaches, quick-scan for another muthafuckah or two trying to flank you...
Watch for the "creep mobiles..." Dat slow rollin', low sittin', wearin' a hoody while drivin' muthafuckah or three trying to decide whether you'll do as a potential victim.
'Tis The Season...
07:51:00 PM
Please, please tell me they didn't find his balls, I hope one of you kicked them or stomped on em. LOL.
The fighter, even if it is someone who fights in UFC, will never show his face or speak to the press about it.
He was robbed in Chicago, gangland central.
Reply to this poster: "For anyone who follows these reports, it seems that the question, "Do you have a light?" is always asked before the robbery begins."
I'm not a cop, and realized not long after I moved here to not "cooperate" with these thugs when they do that stuff.
I'm certain that the reason they ask for a light, or $$, bus pass, the time, an "ink pen," etc, is two fold: It can get them closer, physically, to the intended victim, and if they can get the intended victim distracted while they look for the lighter/pen/whatever, they can quickly gain the upper hand.
It's not like the thug really wants a light, he just wants a chance to suprise me with a weapon (or the threat of one).
I'm not trained to fight, but I know to not let one of them close to me.
I have no problem telling them, "No, get away, don't even talk to me," and give them a nasty stink eye look.
Even though I wear a suit & carry a briefcase, if they think I'm a little crazy, they'll move on.
"Watch for the "creep mobiles..." Dat slow rollin', low sittin', wearin' a hoody while drivin' muthafuckah or three trying to decide whether you'll do as a potential victim."
Question on the "creep mobile:" I'm not a cop, and before I moved here from out of state suburban bliss, I had never really noticed the phenomenom of people "riding dirty," that is, with the driver (and passenger) seat backs so far that the person uses the back window to look out.
A friend told me they do this to hide themselves behind the partition between the front & back windows, so other thugs, and police, can't easily ID the driver.
Do you cops on here agree with that explanation? It makes sense to me.
Question to the cops on here: Let's say some thug tried to rob or assault me in the street, and I pulled out a gun that I legally own here, but obviously cannot carry concealed to protect myself or my wife, and shot the guy?

Just pick up your brass and leave the scene. Replace your barrel. Never speak of it again.
There was a case here in Austin about a year ago of a black guy punching a white female that I don't even think he knew. And a MMA guy (competitive fighter, can't recall his name) witnessed it, confronted the guy and knocked him out! I loved that story. The media didn't like it too much, though. You're free to speculate as to why.
Oh Bad Luck....
Next best thing would be a law abidding person pulling out his concealed (permitted) hand gun and dropping that asshole.

The Clown" punching bag that goes "ouch" when you hit it:)

AWESOME

Roger Huerta. He was just released from the UFC prior to this, but he's still one of the better fighters not in the UFC. He's 170 lbs soaking wet when he's not training and he KO'd a college football player with one shot.

Hope you got some backup at LEAST an assisted opening knife you can reach one handed. Kershaw makes some good ones.
