About a year ago, some poor slob in Rio de Janiero decided that it would be a good idea to use a fake gun to rob a girl that was standing on the street corner waiting for an Uber to show up.
Unfortunately for him, that girl happened to be pro MMA fighter Polyana Viana. She responded with two punches and a kick, which, going by the pictures, broke his face. She then put him in a sleeper hold for good measure, and waited for the cops to arrive.
Sounds like a happy ending, right?
Apparently, not to a reporter at CNN.
According to the article, she’s received a good bit of criticism over it. Of course, he also calls her act of self-defense “her moment of vigilantism,” and that she “took the law into her own hands.”
It’s called self-defense, you simpering twit! Clearly, the author would much rather criminals take whatever the hell they want and never face the consequences of poor victim selection.
Years ago, the Detroit Police,faced with rampant robberies on the streets, started a program call STRESS, or Stop The Robberies Enjoy Safe Streets. They would dress an officer up as a doddering old man or drunk, and have him walk a dangerous neighborhood.
A thug would attack or threaten with a gun or knife, and the officer would ID and backup jump out.
Several thugs didn’t survive the experience. Kudos to cops? Nope. “Activists” protested the decoy system was unfair and “racist”! STRESS was canceled under pressure from “civil
rights activists” among city politicians.
