I thought this was hilarious. You would think that a robber would consider more carefully his target for robberies. I guess not!!!

BOGOTA (Reuters) - A karate academy was not the best target for a robbery, a Colombian thief found when his attempt got the chop from practicing students, police said on Friday. The robber was recovering in a hospital in Santander province north of Bogota after the martial artists used their combat skills and took away his gun.

"An individual entered a martial arts school with a firearm but they managed to react, put their knowledge to use and disarmed him," Santander police commander Col. Julio Cesar Santoyo told local Caracol radio.

Sounds like the guy was lucky he only got beat down instead of getting shot.

That's almost as good as the story of the guy who tried to rob a bank, but the place was full of FBI agents who were depositing their paychecks that payday.
