Remember that terrorist attack in London (yeah—which one, right?) where that one Chinese-looking guy got stabbed in the throat and was walked to safety by the police? Turns out the guy's name is Geoff Ho, and he's a martial artist who, in the heat of the moment, rushed to help out a bouncer who was being double-teamed by two of the knife-wielders. As Ho put it: "Don’t know whether it was stupid or noble to jump in and break up the fight outside the Southwark Tavern, but two [assholes] trying to do over the lone bouncer on the door isn’t happening on my watch."

Story here and here. Ho is also a journalist. He's got bigger balls than most of his ilk.

In other happy news: a father and teenaged son managed to overpower and shoot a man who had tried to rob them at gunpoint. Bravo to these two. The would-be robber is dead.
