You shouldnt be attempting to rob ppl if your two weeks pregnant, the bitch asked for it IMO! SHe probably didnt evne know she was pregnant with the way girls smut around these days with no protection and or bitch control!
That's either undercharging the attackers or inadequate reporting by the author. The three surviving attackers could be charged with murder under the "felony murder" provision in most jurisdictions. The reasoning is that death is a foreseeable consequense of attempting a felony involving a weapon. It doesn't matter that it was one of the attackers who died.The three surviving attackers face aggravated assault and robbery charges, police said.
She was stupid enough to commit armed robbery. She was even more stupid to do so if she knew she was pregnant. Odds are, she was a pregnant druggie, and her kid would be a drug damaged future burden on society.Originally posted by: state 08
Marine did what he had to... It just depresses me that the woman was pregnant.

While I have to admire the ass kicking, I'm not sure about the Marine's decision making skills. Getting in a life and death fight with more numerous and better armed attackers over the contents of your wallet is pretty stupid. While it may sound cool and macho, getting killed over the $37 in your wallet isn't really all that heroic. There is nothing wrong with fighting when you have to, but I'm not sure this situation qualified as "having to".
Being that he's a waiter, he probably had a bit more then $37 in cash on hand. I know some waitstaff who earn upwards of $250 a shift (and not the kind of waitstaff who work in adults-only places, just normal resturants.)
As for the ass-kicking, mad props to the marine. Those kids look like your typical gang-banging thug N-words. Hopefully, they get put away for about 10 years, less criminal trash on the streets.

Well I will attest that the Marines DO teach you how to fight with a knife. And it's NOT how they show it in the movies.

At least you bumped a good month-old thread.

not that uncommon for people that dont know what they are doing. Figuring that this was probably a used/stolen gun, handled by teenagers with no firearms knowledge, who didnt clean it, and probably used cheap/old rounds, it could have easily misfired. Depending on what type of 38 it was, a dozen things could have caused a misfire.Originally posted by: MIKEMIKE
that marine had so much luck on his side.
not often does a gun misfire, and if it hadnt, the story would have been different.

Guys I just learned that he didnt just stab her. Apparently he stabbed her at the belt line and pulled the knife all the way up to her throat!!!
This was from a person that knew a nurse that was working at that hospital today.
Thats pretty intense!

Teenager Christopher Daniel seemed timid and scared as he shuffled, leg chains loudly clanking, into a packed Atlanta courtroom today. But police say the petite, 125-pound 19-year-old was part of a menacing five-member robbing crew that randomly pounced on victims, including former Marine Thomas Autry, attacked on Memorial Day while walking home from his job waiting tables at a Midtown restaurant.
Lawyers for Daniel and three other defendants ? Kendall Barksdale, 17; Keyunta "KK" Dowell, 16; Christopher Hayes, 18 ? today asked a judge to release their clients on bond as they await trial on charges of aggravated assault, possession of firearms in commission of a felony, and criminal attempt to commit armed robbery.
Autry, who quietly sat in court today watching his alleged attackers fight to get out of jail, has previously described how he was beaten in the chest with brass knuckles, with one of the culprits pointing a gun at him and pulling the trigger. Luckily, the gun jammed.
Autry fought back and stabbed Daniel and suspect Amy Elizabeth Martin, 17. Martin died within hours. Daniel, whose lung was punctured, remained hospitalized for weeks from stab wounds to his chest, shoulder, side and back, his attorney, Brian Steel said. Daniel was recently transferred to the Fulton County Jail, which is ill-equipped to provide adequate ongoing treatment, Steel argued today.
In court, Daniel teared up and dropped his head as his father testified that he would stay home from his job running a nursing agency to watch over his son if the judge grants bond.
"This is the most important thing to me," the soft-spoken father said.
Daniel's father and mother told the judge they would personally watch their son and would pay for him to wear an electronic monitoring device around his ankle.
About 50 people crowded into the courtroom to support the teens, several others wrote letters to the judge. Dozens more spilled out into the hall to lobby for bond for the three other defendants whose hearings will be later today.

Sounds exaggerated. Basically, there are three letters you live by when you stab someone in the gut. CTS. Crotch To Sternum.
