One morning James M. Kilcer, who served as a Marine from July 2007 to August 2011, was at a Yuma gas station. According to the Yuma County Sheriff's Office, two out of three robbers entered the store in black clothing and a ski mask.
Confronting a Robber
The armed robber entered, pointing his gun in the direction of the cashier. Kilcer was within arm's length of the robber and was seen on the station's security footage grabbing the armed assailant's wrist and punching him.
The whole thing was over in about 5 seconds. Kilcer told the Yuma County Sheriff's deputies, "The Marine Corps taught me not to {mess) around."
The juvenile suspect is being charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault. According to Yuma County spokeswoman Tania Pavlak, Kilcer will receive a citizens valor award from Sheriff eon N. Wilmot next week.
Kilcer sat down for an interview with Fox News host Dana Perino and told her while his training in the Marines provided him with muscle memory to respond, he likes to make sure he is ready for emergencies.
a hero to be honered
Our country needs more like him! I bet he will get a lot of "Free Beer" and he deserves it!
How about that America, a REAL AMERICAN MAN
Good call by Vet shopper bad for robber fool
Thanks
I’m waiting for Brandon to embellish his Corn Pop yarn to include thwarting a convenience store robbery.
Don't wait, he loses track of where he is is in his Corn Puff tale between "bad" and "dude."
improvise, adapt, overcome!! He is an American ,Marine !!
YES!
Biden was not elected by the US citizens and to stay in the good graces of the DNC and his Chinese Masters, he must make the economy and crime rate so bad that the US citizens will sue/vote for Socialism just for peace. I have owned a weapon for several years and would like to see more second amendment articles of citizens protecting themselves from this criminal part of the Democrap party. The Democrap Gun-Control lobby would love to leave the US citizen defenseless against their minions. Lock-n-Load.
Careful. Right now they have a long reach, but their time will come. Remember the comment in WWII, you have awakened a sleeping tiger. I think the tiger is awakening now!
too many dumb kids in this country....watch them put up a statue for the gunman
Democrats have let there party go to hell the demons are out in force against America , not to help The country , but destroy it . The squad is the racist ones , they hate all Americans , why because we're racist , that's pure bullshit , everyone from other countries long to become an American . But our laws have to be observed . Every country has laws , they are there to protect us from harm by radicals who want nothing more than to put you 6' under , Panama has identified over 50 terrorist coming to our boarder , and no wall for protection , thanks to stupidity arrogance and insanity .
Good one Zepher - I'm afraid America is done for - the leftist and others are making sure..... and yes people from other countries want to come here and be Americans, but they usually want to change America to where they came from. Also, these people come here and more than half are young men.... How many are coming here to become Americans and how many come here to take the good things lawfully or unlawfully?
I cannot think of a single democrat politician that I can admire. How sad.
I used to be one. No more> Changed my reg. to R.
I was thinking of registering as a Dunceocrat, just so I can primary-vote against the biggest idiot (my blue-state requires party registration to primary-vote), but I consider primaries as the best place to eliminate RINOs - a more insidious threat.
Great news .Bless this youngman
EXCELLENT! Thank You Sir!
Wait for it.......somehow he is going to be made out to be the bad guy because he stopped a potential deadly robbery.
sad but true this country needs an enema
What a brave thing to do.Bless him.I hope everyone will be alright after this.I hope the creep spends a long time in jail.
Gosh I love Marines! So nice to see real men.
SEMPER FI
I LOVE THAT GUY, TO BAD WE DON'T HAVE REAL MEN LIKE HIM RUNNING THE COUNTRY.
Now let's see if the Soros-owned DA prosecutes the criminal punk or if VP Harris' go-fund-me accounts left over bail-out fund for BLM, will bail him out. The Democraps, see failed ambulance-chasing lawyers, no longer consider protecting the US citizens that pay their salaries as part of the job description to hold office.
Real man-1, Punk thug-0
It's a good thing the incident didn't happen in NY or LA. Our hero would have been arrested for assault.
YEA YEA……..FOR THE MARINES!!!!!!! The criminal will get a slap on his wrist!!!!!!!!!!! SAD!!!!!!! THANKS LIBERALS!!!!!!!
