Keith Woolford Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Things worked out OK in this case for young, buff John but I don't know whether his moves would be recommended for an old guy like me.http://<iframe src="https://bmplayer-a.akamaihd.net/shareable/embedssl.html?dc=ctvnews_web&cid=745069&col=379&w=480&h=270&pl=0&plh=0&adSite=ctv.ctvnews&adZone=home&omniAcct=ctvgmnews,ctvgmglobal§ion=CTVNews&site=ctvnews&shareUrl=&v7=canada&v8=story&v9=&v10=" width="480" height="270" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" ></iframe>CTVNews.ca StaffPublished Sunday, November 8, 2015 12:38PM EST John Oughtred and Rebecca King-Jones only met three weeks ago. But the couple has already flown to Panama together, rented a romantic vacation home, and fought off an armed intruder.The pair from Victoria, B.C., was spending a relaxing morning on the picturesque island of Bastimentos, Panama, when a masked stranger burst into their rental home."As I turned the corner, there was a guy standing there and he was completely suited up," King-Jones told CTV Vancouver. "He had a mask, a bandana over his face, hat on, gloves, and he was pointing a gun at me."With little time to think, Oughtred sprang to action.He charged at the intruder and wrestled the gun out of the stranger's grip."My focus was the gun and getting that away from in between the two of us," Oughtred said.Then, with the weapon out of the man's hands, Oughtred lifted the intruder up and hurled him off the balcony."I just proceeded to pick him up over my shoulder and I ran about another 10 feet carrying him, and then just basically shot him down about 20 to 25 feet off the balcony," Oughtred said.John Oughtred and Rebecca King-Jones was spending a relaxing morning in Panama when a masked stranger burst into their rental home. The gun allegedly carried by the masked home invader is seen on the ground. John Oughtred says he threw a masked and armed intruder about 20 feet off this balcony.Local authorities arrived and apprehended the man, who, they said, was actually wanted for a string of robberies in the area."All we know is that he was taken into custody and that they had sort of mentioned that he (had) some big cuts to his face," King-Jones said.After the violent encounter, the couple decided to cut their holiday short and head home to Canada, arriving back Saturday night.But despite trip's abrupt ending, they say they still think highly of Panama."It's a beautiful country and the people are pleasant and super welcoming," King-Jones said. "I don't want to create a negative buzz from this story."With files from CTV Vancouver Edited November 9, 2015 by Keith Woolford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Wolf Technology Group Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Keith,The link to the video doesn't work because the software being used here does not allow "iframes". It is a security measure in the Chiriqui Life software.Here is a link to a similar video without the iframes issue:http://video.theloop.ca/watch/man-fights-panama-home-invasion/4601519366001#.VkDV57erSUl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct that this website blocks certain "high risk" protocols and codes; high risk refers to the ability of crackers* to pry open a website and do bad things. We prefer to keep our member's data safe.Twin Wolf, you clearly are very good with Internet, computers, and software things, etc. Glad that you are here helping everyone. Thank you. ___________*Contemporary terminology would have been the word "hacker" instead of "cracker" in this context. Hackers in times past were the good guys creating things and keeping people safe. But the terminology has shifted with the times due to bad press. I am from the old school (and obviously showing my age). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
