Mugging Marines
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
There are a lot of reasons I don't mug Marines, I mean aside from my being a pacifist and a law-abiding citizen. Turns out this dumbass extraordinaire didn't get the memo.
LAVALE — When a 6-foot tall, 300-pound convicted armed robber allegedly attacked Cumberland resident Ronnie Welsh in the Country Club Mall parking lot Sunday evening, he clearly picked on the wrong man.
Shortly after 6 p.m., Welsh and his wife, Nancy, pulled into the LaVale mall parking lot near the AMC Theatres.
“We walk at the mall regularly and I just got out of my vehicle when this guy came at me — from where I don’t know. I didn’t look at the man’s size. I looked at him as a threat,” said the founder of the All Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning company.
“He said, ‘Marine, I want your money,’ ” recalled Welsh, who was wearing an “Honor Guard” ball cap at the time. A Marine Corps license plate frame and decal must have identified Welsh as a Marine.
Dear stupid wanker, enjoy prison.
