Meet 30 y/o David Menzies of West Chapel, Florida in Pasco County. That's his mug shot below...
In the evening hours of Thursday, May 7th, 2015 David tried to break into the "Kona Swim Bike Run" store in Wesley Chapel, FL.
David is NOT a smart criminal as he failed to a) engage in proper "recon" (reconnisance) prior to his botched robbery and b) he apparently also did not have sufficient "HumInt" (human intelligence" beforehand. I know this (as does David... now...) because he failed to notice that right next door to his intended target was "Hammerfist Krav Maga".
Krav Maga is an Israeli-based self-defense martial arts form which is considered by many to be the world's preeminent contact combat system (you can read more about Krav Maga here). It was developed by Israeli Special forces and is taught, and used, world-wide.
David also failed to pay attention to the fact that while he was [reportedly] trying to steal $15,000 worth of bikes there was a class going on on next door, with adrenaline filled folks aggressively training in Krav Maga.
So a poorly prepared David broke and entered into the Kona Bike shop, grabbing clothes and bikes. At some point he got paws on the keys to a Jeep, which he also liberated, backing it up to the store in an effort to load up his loot. But, per Jason Carrio, a co-owner of Hammerfist: "Immediately me and a couple of other guys, we went outside and we did notice the glass and there was some noise going on... We started yelling to him you know, 'Hey, is that your stuff? Are those your bikes? What are you doing?'..." David did not reply but continued to load his booty into the Jeep, prompting Carrio to advise David that he was calling the police, and David to reply that he'd wait in the car. Again unfortunately for David, Carrio was not...
Per Carrio: "I knew as soon as he got into that car he was going to try to take off and the car was running... I just reacted, to be quite honest with you. I just reacted. I just felt like this is the right thing to do." So Carrio and others ran over to the vehicle, removed David thereto from and jiu-jitsu'd his ass into submission until the cops arrived. Memo to David:
Bruce McCarthy, a co-owner of Kona recognized David as having been inside and browsing (um Bruce... we call that "casing") the store the day before and opined: "Who would rob a store that has a Hammerfist next door and they're there?" This is an excellent question / point which Carrio addressed when he said: "Clearly he didn't read or he doesn't know what Krav Maga and jiu-jitsu is but definitely a bad environment to come and try to break the law". Again, Memo to David: Your silver lining... No matter how dumb you may be there's almost always going to be someone who acts even stupider... like this guy...
