Stick to debate
Let it be a lesson to rookie Salt Lake City councilman Luke Garrott, right. When it comes to vigilantism, we can't all be Ogden mayor— and defending flyweight champeen — Matthew "Floats like a gnat, stings like flea" Godfrey.Less than a year ago, all 5-foot-4, 110 pounds of Godfrey, left, grappled with a bicycle thief twice his size. Matthew "The Mauler" put the bandit in a hammerlock a
nd held him for the cops. Don't let Godfrey's boyish looks fool you — opponents describe him as "Opie Taylor on 'ludes."Billed as "Loquacious Luke," Garrott, a UofU political science prof, didn't fare so well in his debut utlimate fighting rumble. The Central City councilman was slugged twice in the kisser when he tried to stop a late-night argument in a neighbor's yard. Apparently, it took all the fight out of the councilman.
The TKO did not require a hospital visit.

The difference being Godfrey was going after a bike thief on his property while Garrott was breaking up a knife fight on somebody elses property. Don't knock the guy because he got punched twice, it takes some cojones grandes to try and stop a guy with a knife. And mad props for Garrott because the scuffle wasn't even on his property. Godfrey sure can get worked up defending his bicycle but it also sounds like Garrott will put himself in between a knife fight for his community.

Yeah, Luke got punched a couple times, but he succeeded in doing what he was trying to do, which was to avert a stabbing incident and protect his female neighbor. Mister Knife ended up in jail, so it sounds to me like the Councilman won. I wish my Councilman was this cool. Oh wait, Luke IS my Councilman. Sweet.
Seriously though, I'm glad he didn't get knifed or anything worse than a couple bruises. Cojones grandes indeed.
The Godfrey incident was a sham! The bike thief he took down was a totally stoned teenager.
