Gunman picks poor choices in Alaska robbery try

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - This robber chose the wrong victims.

Police say Benjamin Galdo, an Alaska commercial fisherman, and Kyle Dickerson-Lockwood, an amateur hockey player, were confronted by an armed man while returning to their room at the Anchorage Sheraton early Monday morning.

The suspect took them inside the hotel room, where police say he pointed the gun at their heads and demanded money.

Instead, they overpowered him and knocked the gun from his hand.

Police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker says the suspect, 22-year-old Terry Butler of Anchorage, lost consciousness in the fray. Parker says Butler woke up in a closet with a hotel security guard standing over him.

Parker says Butler has been charged with assault and two counts of robbery.

Um ya...cool story and all but....

I wonder what the circumstances were in this situation. If someone held a gun to my head and demanded cash, I would happily oblige. General rule of thumb I live by, is that if someone has a weapon and they want something somewhat meaningless of mine, then fine. Now, if that person were after my 65 mustang, hockey bag, or my Rolex, I would probably tell them that they would have to kill me to get them. Also, this is why I have guns.

^So you would trust a felon not to kill you once he has whatever it is he/she wants? I'd rather die fighting.

Valid point Monty, I guess I put a little too much faith into people.

My other thought is...what's with the two dudes sharing a hotel room?

Cheaper cost?

Doesnt say they were in the same room.....not like they were gay or anything. Maybe it was only one of the guys' room, and the other was just a guy he picked up at the hotel bar and they were going to just have a little bit of....er......oh....right.

Never heard that one before? So a Hockey player, a Fisherman, and a strung out Felon walk into a hotel room.........
