Unless you're a marine:
The victim was walking home after getting off work as a waiter at Jocks and Jills.The five suspects pulled up in a car and confronted the victim in the 500 block of Penn Street just before midnight.
The victim began running down the street yelling for help. Residents who heard him called 911. While he was running, the victim pulled a pocket knife from his backpack.
Two of the robbers jumped from the car. When one of the robbers pointed a shotgun at him, the victim kicked it out of his hands.
At that point two of the robbers jumped on the victim. During the struggle he stabbed both of them. One, a female, died of her wounds. A second is in critical condition.
(Via Fark.)
Wasn't there a joke circulating around where the punch line goes:
"There's two of them!" or "He's faking it!" about Marines facing overwhelming odds and coming out on top?
I'd say he remembered his training and aquitted himself outstandingly in the face of overwhelming odds here.
They were all cleary too stupid to realize it, even after one of the number was mortally wounded.

Stone Mountain and one lone confederate soldier...
after he kicked half of Sherman's troop's behinds..one of em came back and said "It' a trick..there's TWO of em"...
In this case, seems it's a trick..there's just one !
Taking the high ground, obviously..honestly I can understand..he probably busted his butt for tips..and I would fight like a dog for them, too.
