Thug Pummeled After Attempting to Mug Chicago Man Who Turns Out to Be an MMA Fighter

 

Chicago Convict Wrecked By MMA Fighter He Attempted to Mug | Anthony Miranda

One convict will think twice before attempting to mug anyone again.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that 24-year-old Anthony Miranda allegedly pulled a gun on a driver in a parked car on the Southwest Side of Chicago Friday night.

The thug ended up with two black eyes and a gunshot wound to the ankle.

The intended victim…turned out to be an MMA fighter.

The Sun-Times reports on the Cook County man who now faces charges of armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, a Class X felony:

“After getting some money, he ordered the driver out of the car, police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.

At some point, Miranda’s attention was diverted and the victim was able to grab control of the gun and the two wrestled.

During the fight, Miranda accidentally discharged his gun, shooting himself in the ankle, Mirabelli said.

The victim, who told police he’s a martial arts expert and ultimate fighting champion was able to pin Miranda down until police arrived. Police arrived to find Miranda with a face full of cuts and two black eyes.

Miranda had originally asked the man, whose name the police have yet not released, for lighter.

Fox Chicago reports that Miranda has had several convictions in the past, including at least one for a residential burglary. The 24-year-old was taken to the hospital Friday night and ordered held on $350,000 bond Sunday.

      I want to know where this guy bought the gun. This is the point where you don’t hear any fallow up reporting as to the firearm possession charge. Was he charged? We should see a story about how athorities are fallowing through and enforcing the 2000 gun laws we have on the books. Instead, this will be used to fill some statistic to prove why we need even more gun laws. by the way, nice beat down, kudos to that fine citizen that stood his ground.

      THis sounds like an article I read about a year ago about a 73 year old grandmother. As she was being held up by a druggie she put her hand in her coat pocket and just lifted the pocket and shot the guy in the stomach. The lady was a crummy shot because he survived. Last I heard was the District Attourney was taking legal action because she used excessive force and didn’t have a carry permit.

      ———————

      He was able to acquire the gun directly from thugs at Eric Holder’s Injustice Dept. Some kind of gun running operation called Fast & Furious or something like that.. And no, there won’t be any charges filed against this guy for illegal gun possession.

      Just another day in the life of MMA member fighting the falsehoods that fuel people like this guy to act as he did. He felt that he, as an individual, had the right to take whatever he could from whomever he could, rather than understanding that collectively we Americans have to work for everyone’s benefit, not just that of the individual. This kind of crime is all but nonexistant in asian cultures because they see the effects of their actions on their peers and on entire country. But in America some take the “superman” Ayn Rand position that whatever a person can take from another is moral. Those people don’t care if they are enriching themselves at the expense of others. And, ironically, some support politicians who would take their money to further enrich the billionairs. So the MMA guy stood up for himself and people like you and me. Here’s another example:

      “He felt that he, as an individual, had the right to take whatever he could from whomever he could, rather than understanding that collectively we Americans have to work for everyone’s benefit, not just that of the individual.”
      So you believe in collective salvation like Obama?
      “This kind of crime is all but nonexistent in Asian cultures because they see the effects of their actions on their peers and on entire country.”
      Are you saying there are no armed robberies in Asia? Or that there is no crime in Asia because they see the benefit of having no guns?

      Note that the Preamble doesn’t say “promote the welfare of the rich at the expense of everybody else, “ it says ”promote the general welfare.” That means all of us. Note also the phrase “we the people,” a phrase so beloved by the TP. “We the people” does not mean “We the 1% richest.“ It happens to mean ”We the people”, all of us, all Americans, not just the billionaires.

      Funny, I’ve read the preamble. I know what the government was constitutionally supposed to do for us and what it’s supposed to protect us from.

      I was more less looking for something from the founders stating that men should go to work at no benefit for themselves but for the express purpose of benefitting society as you claim.

      I asked you on another post but will ask here. Do you only hold disdain for the conservative fraction of the one percent or does that hatred also apply to the liberal fraction.

      I don’t have much time to post here any longer but when I get a chance I will find some of our founders quotes. If you actually believe what you are advocating, from each according to their abilities – to each according to their needs, you know little about our founders.

      To say the least Thomas Jefferson would disagree with you.

      “A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain mem from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits or industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and is necessary to close the circle or our felicity” Thomas Jefferson, first inaugural adress

      He would also disagree with your stance on the 2nd amendment.

      Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined mor determined to commit crimes…such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man” Thomas Jefferson

      On your view of morals And religion

      “Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other” John Adams

      “Political interst can never be separated in the long run from moral right” Thomas Jefferson

      If he looks ‘yellow’ it‘s because he’s a coward who has to hide behind a gun! And yes, this does just go to show that gun laws are useless because they only prevent law-abiding citizens from having them! I did a report in high school about gun control – there’s a town in Illinois where guns were completely outlawed and crime rates sky-rocketed. In Kennesaw, GA, it is (basically) illegal NOT to own a gun (most everyone has them!) and their crime rate went to pretty much ZERO! Duh! If you know there’s a chance YOU are gonna get shot, the chances of you committing a crime go down – it’s called INSTANT DEATH PENALTY!

      Hey Billy. I was thinking about the concept that in order to increase demand for American products you give money to the top 1%, rather than people like you and me who actually buy the products. You know, the idea the rich guys are going to go out and create a bunch of jobs to make stuff to sell to people, when businesses are going broke because demand is so low now.

      JZS, please just shut up and go away. Nobody in this forum gives a crap about your victim card playing. If people don’t like their job they can quit. Nobody forced them to apply for a job where they’re at, or to agree on a wage in return for performed work. There are thousands of people looking who would appreciate the opportunity to have their position. Maybe your hero’s of slovenly immorality, and unethical nature should apply themselves to actually creating something the public is interested in. If they’re not willing to apply themselves life is simple, they should shut their mouth and do the job they were hired for and stop the damned begging for handouts.

      Hey JZS

      Obama tried that already, and it failed miserably.

      The only way that would work is if we all got a MASSIVE tax cut. Like eliminating the income tax completely.

      Then tax consumption only. Don’t you want everyone to pay their fair share? Should not the prostitutes, and drug dealers, and gun runners, and bookies, pay their fair share?

      I bet if it says “MMA Ultimate Fighter Champ” a thug may have second thoughts of harming that target?

      I also bet that if it says “Pistol Shoot Champ” he will pick a different target.

      This is the idea of being able to protect yourself under the 2nd Amendment.

      Did a little research; Anthony Miranda is a convicted felon. Lawyers and judges just keep returning these thugs to the streets. They usually end up killing someone.

      Anthony Miranda looked a lot prettier in his previous mug shots. That MMA fighter sure did a number on his face. All thugs deserve a little facial reconstruction like this.

      It’s an MMA technique, you’d call it a “sleeper hold” :) it’s technical name is a “rear naked choke”… it has nothing to do with being naked, the word “naked” means you choke him without using anything you or he is wearing such as a shirt or (karate outfit) “gi” or dobok”.
