Happy 2-Year Anniversary: Connecticut Man Fought Off Four Carjackers

Happy Anniversary to the "Rocky" of Rocky Hill, Connecticut. It happened two years, and two days ago (April 16,2023). A brave Connecticut homeowner said not today, Satan.

In 2023, this was big news all over the Nutmeg State. In case you don't remember a Rocky Hill resident physically fought off four would-be carjackers who attempted to steal his car right out of his driveway. Keep in mind, all of this happened in broad daylight, check it out.

I love that it took four punks, and even then, they couldn’t take this guy down. Classic coward strategy: fight poorly and bring backup. Every time I watch this video, I get the sudden urge to Kool-Aid Man my way through the living room wall and start brawling with villains. Unfortunately, the last time I tried that, I made it halfway through the drywall—only to realize I was home alone. Not my proudest moment.

All the articles from that time end the same way: “The investigation is still ongoing.” I’ve scoured the internet and couldn’t find a single update. Hopefully they caught those guys—but if not, odds are they’ll walk into another well-deserved thrashing somewhere along the way.

There’s a famous quote from the Battle of the Bulge that goes, “They’ve got us surrounded again—the poor bastards.” That’s basically this dude’s mindset in a nutshell. Absolute tank.

P.S. I’ve watched the video probably 20 times over the years, and I’m starting to seriously believe the homeowner might be Shane Gillis.
