in another forum.<br><br>"I hardly even know where
to begin, but here goes... <br>This last saturday, I
was in my truck with a friend. We noticed this guy
driving crazy and all over the place. My buddy says to
follow him, because he knows who he is. So we follow
him, and he pulls over. Turns out this guy has a 25
pistol in his hand, and a 38 in the small of his back.
He was looking for a cop, so he could have a shoot
out and kill himself. <br><br>We try to talk him out
of it, but he won't budge. Anyway, he was having a
nervous breakdown. My buddy stays in the truck with this
guy, and I follow them to his house. He keeps the 25
in his hand, and won't take his hand off the
trigger. After about 15 minutes, we talk him into going
inside. <br><br>Once inside, the guy wants a cigarette.
My buddy gets his lighter out, and hands it to me(he
nods at me, letting me know it's time to take
action).<br><br>I immediately do a Pak sao to straight blast,
punching him hard in the face. My buddy tackles him hard
from the side a millisecond later. We take him to the
ground, and the gun goes off. Luckily, I kept it pointed
away on the way down, and the slug goes into the
floor. I force the gun from his hand, and toss it away.
I work my way around him, and choke him out from
behind, while my buddy takes the 38 from his back. He
goes unconscious, but I hold him while my buddy takes
the guys keys from his pocket and calls the police.
The guy wakes up, and starts to struggle again. I
tighten the choke once more, and he gasps "I can't
breathe!". I whisper in his ear "Makes you want to live,
doesn't it?" So I hold him on the floor until the cops
arrive. <br><br>After telling them what happened, a cop
tells me that I saved a lot of lives today, including
my own. I watch them take him away, and he's sobbing
like a baby. All I can say, is thank the heavens I
have trained in MMA all of my life. I hope the guy
gets the help that he needs and lives a long life."
