Marine Stabbed by Suspected Shoplifter
November 27, 2010
AUGUSTA, Ga. - A U.S. Marine reservist collecting toys for children was stabbed when he helped stop a suspected shoplifter in eastern Georgia.
Best Buy sales manager Orvin Smith told The Augusta Chronicle that man was seen on surveillance cameras Friday putting a laptop under his jacket at the Augusta store.
When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an employee, pulled a knife and ran toward the door. Outside were four Marines collecting toys for the service branch's "Toys For Tots" program.
Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of them, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back. The cut did not appear to be severe.
The suspect was transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken leg, several broken ribs, possible fractured skull and assorted lacerations and bruises he obtained when he fell trying to run after stabbing the Marine.
The suspect, whose name was not released, was held until police arrived. The Richmond County Sheriff's office said it is investigating.

Two things tend to make me believe it is not true.
1. He managed to cut a Marine.
2. He is alive.
;D ;D ;D

One of our Aussies posted it a week or 2 ago about an SAS Toy collection down under.

I was wondering where I heard this. Still funny.

This is true... I travel a lot and was talking to an army officer that works in the Pentagon on a flight. Somehow we got on a discussion about BDUs and camo differences between the branches. When we got around to the Marines I mentioned the brown they chose and he responded... "The Marines don't care about camo, they tell their enimies when they are coming."
I thought that was pretty funny.
