Badass

[Used Car Salesm]

A knife fight in the street? Fucking hardcore.

[lapsus_]

That guy is badass

[RayvenQ]

I'm gonna take a quick stab and guess that he's gonna get sued by the burglar.

[JustGman]

I hope the Xbox is okay, those things are expensive.

[Apocalypsewaffle]

Whoa, all the way out onto the street, movie style. Perfectly good reason too, self-defense AND seeing someone with all your expensive shit in a suitcase.

Good thing the owner had a knife with him.

[RayvenQ]

The burglar was about to get away too, until he took an arrow to the knee.

No charges filed? Shit, the justice system did something right. Discretion needs to be used more often.
