This Can Be Fixed

The Greatest Generation is still doing its job of letting foreigners know that you shouldn't mess with Americans:

A tour bus of U.S. senior citizens defended themselves against a group of alleged muggers, sending two of them fleeing and killing a third in the Atlantic coast city of Limon, police said on Thursday.

One of the tourists _ a retired member of the U.S. military aged about 70 _ put assailant Warner Segura in a head lock and broke his clavicle after the 20-year-old and two other men armed with a knife and gun held up their tour bus Wednesday, said Luis Hernandez, the police chief of Limon, 80 miles east of San Jose.


The representatives of the Lamest Generation who inhabit the State Department will have to work overtime to reverse this impression of strength and resolve.

But I know the nuanced folks of Foggy Bottom are up to the task. They've done so much for America already. I'm sure they'll have a formal apology to the family of the dead mugger drafted and sent in no time at all. And maybe even cash!
