huahh for my Army son

Ditto for my husband... 

I worked security at the cherry point exchange.

Isn't the law that they aren't allowed to confront the person untill after they have left the doors of the facility?


Not always, depends ont he situation. 

I think he was confronted at first by store employees. its says he was seen on camera. 

all those injuries from falling off the curb? How big was the curb? 

LOL...I honestly dont know what the marines say...Sorry.... 

That's a pretty big curb! ;D

Most places you can "talk" to the subject without actually "confronting".. You can't charge them with theft until they leave the store. There is that window that allows them to change their mind and do the honorable thing and put the item back until they walk out the front door.

Part of assets protection where I worked years ago we were told to offer help to anyone that looked suspicious because just the fact that they knew people acknowledged them in the store could be that shove to make them change their minds. 

all those injuries from falling off the curb? How big was the curb?

The curb was a as big as a Marine :) and hurt like H*ll from what it sounds 

Is that an actual article?

Toys for tots drive is when? October/Novemberish.

The picture posted above the article, which has nothing to do with the article, states the person in the picture addresses a group on April 2nd...

Which would indicate the picture ran sometime after April 2nd.

Marines wouldn't be collecting for T4T in April...

Interesting, I just found another version:

​WARNING: The following story contains so much manliness it might cause your rent to be raised. 24-year-old Marine Corporal Phillip Duggan was doing what manly men do on the day after Thanksgiving, working a Toys for Tots drive outside a Best Buy store in Augusta, Georgia...








Tracey Attaway held the silly notion that he could stab a guy made of steel

​What he didn't know was that inside, Tracey Attaway, 39, was on a shoplifting spree. He'd been caught by security cameras trying to stuff a laptop underneath his jacket. So employees confronted him, asking him to return the computer.

But instead of just taking a minor pinch, Attaway decided to pull a knife, knocking over a worker as he fled the store. That's when Duggan and his fellow Marines working the toy drive noticed employees chasing our dimestore bad guy. Duggan jumped into action, delivering a wicked clothesline tackle on Attaway.

Attaway managed to get to his feet. In the ensuing struggle, he stabbed Duggan in the back.

Attaway took off again but was tackled once more by fellow Marines and store employees. He was charged armed robbery and assault for trying to steal two digital cameras, an Xbox game, a PS3 game and a PS3 game controller.

Duggan, meanwhile, was taken to Eisenhower Army Medical Center. But you didn't really think a single stab wound could keep a guy this manly down, did you? He's already been released from the hospital and is recovering at home, because you can't really hurt a guy who's made of tempered steel.
