Given the penchant for the UK cops to charge anyone who defends themselves
with some form of assault or forcible confinement it is most gratifying to
see the bad guy go to jail and the good guy not hounded by the Crown
Prosecution Service.

At least that criAntoni Hardonk, a heavyweight who competes in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship, had just finished a training session
last month in Los Angeles near Los Angeles International Airport.
He was talking with his attorney, Nima Safapour, when three young men
approached him. They asked if he had money so they could buy
cigarettes.
"My feeling is I want to help someone if I can, so I pulled out my
wallet," Hardonk said.
But he had no change or small bills, so he told the men, whom he
estimated to be between 18 and 20 years old, that he couldn't help
them.
That's when one of them pulled out a homemade knife, which he said had
about a two-inch blade, and demanded his wallet. Hardonk, who is 6
feet 4 and around 250 pounds, was surprised.
But not only is he a professional figher, he was a security guard and
a bouncer in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He didn't frighten or lose his
composure.
"I said, 'What? Are you crazy? I'm not giving you my wallet,' "
Hardonk said.
At that stage, one of the other men said, "He's serious. We'll hurt
you if you don't."
Hardonk continued to remain calm and told the men if they wanted his
wallet, they'd have to come and get it. The men had second thoughts
and left. At that point, Safapour suggested it would be wise if he
were to drive Hardonk home instead of allowing him to walk by himself.
Only a very short distance away, Safapour eyed the same three men
surrounding a woman. Safapour decided to call the police, because he
knew the men were up to no good and the likelihood of something bad
happening was increasing. The woman was saved when the men turned
their attention on a man who was walking by himself. They went to him
and more aggressively demanded his wallet, eventually wrestling with
him and taking it.
Hardonk was watching from the car, about 80 to 100 feet away, when he
saw them harassing the man. He jumped out of the car and began to run
over to try to help the man, whom he did not know.
He wanted to make sure, though, that the man was being robbed and was
shouting, "Is that your wallet?" as he was running toward the incident
in progress.
Hardonk knocked over two of the men, but the third, who had the
victim's wallet, took off running. Hardonk followed. The man who had
the wallet dropped it and the trio managed to jump over a fence and
into a thicket of trees and get away.
As Hardonk thought about the incident later, he realized it might have
been best just to cooperate.
"In a similar situation in the future, it would probably be better
just to give them the money and be done with that," he said.
"Obviously, I had much better (fighting) skills, but is it worth the
risk? They could have had a gun, other knives, who knows?
"But I'm stubborn. And I fight to earn my money and that's a hard way
to make a living. And I'm not just going to give it away to guys like
that."
Though he knew he took a large risk by chasing the suspects down after
they had taken the other man's wallet, he said he has no regrets about
that.
Too many people would do nothing for fear of not wanting to be
involved. Hardonk's attitude is dramatically different.
"I believe if you can do something to help someone else, you should,"
Hardonk said. "We're all here and we should all try to help each other
if we can. It's the right thing to do. I just did what I thought was
right."
Los Angeles police told Hardonk and Safapour that there were three
similar incidents on the same block in the same week. No arrests have
been made.
"Really young guys, and I think they were probably on drugs or
something," Hardonk said. "It's too bad. But I didn't think it was
right just to stand by and do nothing."minal was smart enough to pick
and old guy, he just picked the wrong one.
No excuse for these idiots"
Id bet everythung i own that the reality based jim wagner type gurus
would have pissed themselves in a similar situation.or probably
accidently wounded themselves pulling out there hidden switchblade.

Good for him. I like him already.

I'm pretty sure that he already has.

That was my impression as well...he really thought like a person from
a civilized society. Must be something "wrong" with those kids, on
drugs or otherwise out of their minds. Because in his society that is
what has to occur for people to commit crimes like this.
In many parts of America, this is what passes for earning a living
among certain segments. This is one of the biggest flaws in the
western conceptualization of crime; they think like Dostoyevsky did.
He hadn't a clue about murder or crime but people mightily struggle to
understand something that is really very simple.

This seems to be a more "in depth" story of what went on.
