Quote : | "The robber was holding a gun to 5-year-old Mary Long's head when a 3-foot-tall Mighty Morphin Power Ranger leapt into the room. "Get away from my family," 4-year-old Stevie Long shouted, punctuating his screams with swipes of his plastic sword and hearty "yah, yahs."
........
They were forced on the floor. The robber pointed the gun at Mary and a 1-year-old girl named Sierra, said Stevie's uncle, Bernie Evans, 33, who lives above the Longs.
Enter Stevie.
"During the robbery, a ... boy snuck into his bedroom, dressed himself in a Power Ranger costume and armed himself with a plastic sword," police said. "The child then exited his room and approached the armed suspect, in an attempt to protect his family."" |

I've escorted a guy screwing around with cars out of the U Woods parking lot with a shot gun. I've also grabbed a baseball bat and scared off some creepy guy at my gf's. I've also found someone going through my stuff at a party, and chased him 3/4 of a mile with a golf club (I was drunk).11/30/2006 1:37:19 AM |

You know
I think if that kid ever manages to figure out he's not really a power ranger
He's gonna be like "Oh Shit. I could have died.." Then he's going to end up like Snewf. 11/30/2006 1:46:37 AM |

I saw that title on the front page, but didn't buy the paper that day. I thought it would be about a kid who called 911 or something. wasn't expecting a mighty morphin power ranger 11/30/2006 5:40:53 PM |
