Irving station robbery thwarted

A man trained in Brazilian jiu jitsu took home some free energy drinks after he put his martial arts training to work to thwart a robbery at a convenience store in North Springfield.

    Mixed martial arts? It would have been a lot cooler if he was a ninja!

    Thanks to Springfield's BEST (Nick and Jason) for thwarting the crime that Springfield's "finest" (SPD) can't seem to stop!

      So according to you, the SPD should be positioned at every place of business that has cash? Before you bash the SPD think about what you type...they could probably stop more crimes if idiots like your buddy weren't smoking weed and burning their parents house down.
      Before I forget, Great job Nic and Jason!

      Gee, why so defensive and mean spirited? The fact is, Nic and Jason accomplished something that SPD has failed to do - be in the right place at the right time with the right skills to take down the perp. I'm guessing Nic and Jason could also probably solve alot of the unsolved crimes in Springfield, too, because they are men of action, not Bureaucrats with Badges!

    They did a great job in restraining her and bringing her back to wait for the cops. If I saw something like that, I can't say I would've been so brave. I admire that in people.
