U.S. tourist in Costa Rica kills mugger - Yahoo! News

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - A tour bus of U.S. senior citizens defended themselves against a group of alleged muggers, sending two of them fleeing and killing a third in the Atlantic coast city of Limon, police said on Thursday.

One of the tourists — a retired member of the U.S. military aged about 70 — put assailant Warner Segura in a head lock and broke his clavicle after the 20-year-old and two other men armed with a knife and gun held up their tour bus Wednesday, said Luis Hernandez, the police chief of Limon, 80 miles east of San Jose.

It's good to see the average U.S. senior citizen with a military background making the world safe.....

Wow never thought I'd say something like that....

How do you headlock and chase off 3 armed men?

"According to witnesses, while sightseeing at a local beach, the group of guests were approached by three assailants, one of whom was armed," the statement said.

"The victims struggled with the armed perpetrator, and were able to disarm him. During this process, the gunman's two accomplices fled the scene. In the course of disarming and restraining the assailant, he died from apparent asphyxiation."

What an amazing story.

Good for that old man and for the rest of them for standing up for themselves.

The only bad thing about the incident is that there is only one of three scumbag predators dead instead of three out of three.

What a good and uplifting story--though if this happened in America the dead perp would've been excused as doing it because he was in poverty and wasn't given a chance by the vast white populace.

I thought the other two assailants had knives?
