Need a gun to protect yourself?

8 years ago
Not really!

"A would be thief got served a heavy dose of Karma yesterday when he was discovered helping himself to the the belongings of a 60 year old citizen of Alajuelita. The burglar, a well known degenerate in an otherwise peaceful town, had entered through the second story balcony while his friend waited outside.

Fortunately for the old man his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu trained son Mike had also been awakened by the noise outside. He had heard the threats made by the burglar and was already preparing his intro music.

Jiu Jitsu, the ancient art of kicking ass and taking names has been growing in popularity over the last decade in Costa Rica. Mike, like many other enthusiast who have been waiting for a chance like this, took the opportunity to beat the living crap out of the would be thief."
