Andy sends us a link to the story of Wen Jones, a former Marine who rescued a young boy from a beating. Jones was beaten unconscious for his trouble at Juno Beach, Florida;
Before he knew it, Jones was taking the brunt of the attack and fell unconscious.
Once police showed up, the suspects, Eric Deiter, Tyler Carswell and Cody Roon fled the scene.
Jones was sent to the hospital with a broken eye bone and had to get multiple stitches across his face.
“He deserves a purple heart. If he didn’t receive a purple heart when he was in the military serving, he deserves one now, because he’s a true Samaritan,” said Leroy Wright.
The three criminals have been arrested and are facing felony charges. Jones, for his part, says that he’d do it again, that it was a situation from which he couldn’t walk away. Go see the video at the link.
I’m thankful Mr. Jones survived that incident, and would add that the story would have been better if the suspects also ended up in the ER needing surgery to remove his foot from their collective @sses….
He should have been carrying so that the three dickweeds would have fled to the ER.
There are those who would say “that’s why I don’t get involved. Look what happened to him”. To them I say “You are sheep anyway and we don’t need your kind of “help” and we only hold you in contempt for your cowardice”. To those who actually care enough to at least try to make a difference, we salute your bravery and courage to do the right thing, even when it doesn’t benefit you directly.
I agree. I just wish that he had a CCWP so he could have turned these turds life around.
Good job, Marine. Semper Fi.
As old Eddie Burke said,”All that is needed for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing.”
You did something. Semper Fi, Devil Dog!
Good job, Marine!

OORAH!
He took a beating and it shows, but he can still look himself in the mirror.
Man, they really pounded him. And it took three of them.
I’ll bet those three idiots thought they were so cool, too, but now they’re in jail.
Happy dance here!
