A suspected burglar got more than he could handle when he attempted to break into an Oklahoma City home, which ended up being inhabited by a boxing and kickboxing trainer — and apparently a good one.
Jonathan Wise, 19, was arrested earlier this month with two black and bloodshot eyes and in need of stitches for other injuries. He reportedly tried to rob the home of Norm Houston, according to police.
“I heard a thumbing noise on my garage door,” Houston told KFOR. “I swung open my back door and somebody was standing there.”
Wise, the suspected burglar, probably could have escaped injury and fled but he instead took a swing at Houston. It turned out to be a big mistake as this mugshot shows:
You know I ain’t the toughest, but I can hold my own,” Houston said.
Houston reportedly held the robber on the ground until the police arrived. Wise was later charged with burglary and taken to jail — after he went to the hospital for treatment of course.
tune up ping.
Looks like Jonathan needs to reassess his career choice. However, I kind of doubt one bad experience will dash his ambitions. A little jail to rework the business plan and network with his new friends will be all it takes to make him a better criminal.
Please show links to those threads. I have never seen a thread on FR in which FReepers endorsed killing a burglary suspect as they lay helpless on the ground.
This marks your first example.
I'm special.
Murder the burglar.
“I’m special”...
in a “short bus” way... :)
“a thumbing noise”
Well,,, evidently the “suspect” had a dangerous thumb!
Love it.
For some reason, I don’t think it’s wise to click on a youtube link from Lazamataz at work... :)
Maybe it’s just me.
It’s okay. Click it.
Post 99 on that thread is a particularly good example of the “logic” some were using.
I’m waiting for certain FReepers to come on and state that Houston went to far and with his kick boxing and boxing credentials, went to far and the burglar should sue him for everything he’s got. /s
I endorse it

Endorse yes, after the fact. You enter MY home (uninvited) you are subject to MY rules and the outcome may not be to your liking.
While I may not condone the outright ‘murder’ of a downed armed interloper, I surely am not wont to condemn or even chastise the actions of the resident vs the intruder.
Like the man says ‘Unless you have been there, done that, no telling what you will do, it all depends on the circumstance’
Heh. If title fights lasted 30 rounds, Cobb would have been world champ for years. He gives a good interview, too.
I love a story with a happy ending!
