As the fundamental factor in real estate is location, the prime objective of violent criminals should be to choose the correct targets. In a recent case that exploded in Oxon Hill, Maryland, about 10 miles from the nation’s Capital, the bad guys chose poorly.
Four suspects thought the odds were in their favor on Wednesday afternoon when they noticed a solitary man working on his truck. Little did they know that he was a ready U.S. Marine veteran, and even though one of them was reportedly armed, their plans quickly went awry.
Choosing the wrong target could have had deadly consequences for four suspects
Jheyco Borda was fixing his truck in his community near the local high school. The four suspects allegedly approached him and demanded that he hand over keys and other valuables, but the goal for the day turned sideways quickly for the attackers.
One allegedly pulled a gun and pointed it at Borda’s head. This was no ordinary target, however, and the Marine veteran quickly seized the weapon and attempted to end the dramatic showdown.
That’s when Borda’s brother realized what was rapidly unfolding in front of the house, and he immediately ran out and subdued another of the alleged attackers. One round from the contested firearm was fired, but it did not strike the Bordas or the suspects.
Youthful suspects had no idea what they got themselves into
Yes, there are happy endings—even in 2026. According to The New York Post, “Within moments, both brothers had thrown their attackers to the ground and restrained them until Prince George’s County Police arrived and took all four suspects into custody.”
As for Borda, he shrugged off his heroic stand with a simple observation. “Once a Marine, always a Marine. It took me one split second. We went to training for the Marines, and that came out right at the moment.”
That moment was clearly demonstrated when Prince George’s County authorities arrived. They arrested all four suspects, and no injuries were reported to the two valiant brothers who defended themselves from apparently random violence.
There’s no better way to show your patriotism than with merch that speaks before you do.
Defend America is more than a name, it’s a stand for freedom, resilience, and the values this country was built on. Every tee, hat, and mug is a symbol of unapologetic pride. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and let the world know: freedom isn’t negotiable.
