Orville Smith, a store manager for Best Buy in Augusta, Georgia, told police he observed a male customer, later identified as Tyrone Jackson of Augusta, on surveillance cameras putting a laptop computer under his jacket. When confronted the man became irate, knocked down an employee, drew a knife and ran for the door.
Outside on the sidewalk were four Marines collecting toys for the "Toys for Tots" program. Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of the Marines, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back; the injury did not appear to be severe.
After Police and an ambulance arrived at the scene Cpl. Duggan was transported for treatment.
"The subject was also transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken ankle, a broken leg, several missing teeth, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions, assorted lacerations, a broken nose and a broken jaw...injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell off of the curb after stabbing the Marine," according to a police report.
That was one hell of a fall.. must of been a huge curb ;)
Though mad propz that the idiot that it's based off of is from my state. The thing that tips you off first is that Marines would be too disciplined to use such overkill in a largely non-hostile situation. And in the rare event that they did do this, their superiors would be busting ass to cover it up.

last commentI could be wrong but I don't think he'll do it again. He got what he deserved.

Of course it's probably fake. But I so want it to be true.
