It's not every day that one of your old pals is the subject of an article in the newspaper (or the "newspaper"...since I read it online) under the headline: Man fights off would-be carjackers. Stories like this are only cool when the outcome isn't horrible. In this case, my friend beat up three criminals in self-defense and left them running away without his car or any ill-gained profit. He's a regular old school Charles Bronson. Glad to have him on my side.
