Video shows Mormon missionary beat back would-be attacker

While his companion watches, the larger missionary proceeds to offer not the right hand of fellowship but a flurry of overhand rights and straight left jabs that send the culprit reeling across the street and finally tumbling onto the asphalt. The minutelong video, apparently captured on a security camera last Saturday, ends with the would-be robbers fleeing on foot — and the missionary, shirt and tie askew, standing victorious, his arms held out from his sides and seemingly ready for more.

Was going to say magic underwear but more like fists of furry. It looked like he had had some wrestling at some point.

….against a Mormon when death is on the line?

Seriously, kudos to a guy who made good use of his adrenaline in this case and ruined the whole day for a young thug. Or two.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
