This Is Why You Never, Ever Break Into a Boxer’s Home

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.

Do a search about the Pharmacist that was convicted of murder for killing an kid who tried to rob him. He shot the kid in the head, knocking him out. He then turned his back on the unconscious perp to get another gun then came back to shoot him dead while he laid there helpless. A number of people did not think he should have been convicted of anything, but one person in particular (Red in Blue PA) was adamant that murderer should have been given a medal and a ticker tape parade.

Holding someone down is not the same thing as having someone at your mercy exactly but I see your point.

My point was that when the assailant tried to punch him, had the homeowner responded with deadly force it would not have been murder.

I agree.

Indeed, it is. It would seem to me that upon ten seconds of reflection one would figure out that no CSI would be fooled by the movement of a body.
