Dear Criminals: What have I repeatedly told you about @#$%ing with old Marines?

It is perilous for your health. In our latest example, an 84-year-old Marine handily defeats a teenaged mugger armed with a knife. Snip from the Mercury News:

The boy said, "Old man, give me your wallet or I'll cut you," Bair said. The man told the boy he was a former Marine who fought in three wars and had been threatened with knives and bayonets, Bair said.

The man then put his bags on the ground and told the boy that if he stepped closer he would be sorry. When the boy stepped closer, the man kicked him in the groin, knocking him to the sidewalk, Bair said. The ex-Marine picked up his grocery bags and walked home, leaving the boy doubled over, Bair said.

The man reported the attempted robbery to police 45 minutes later.

gotta love a good kick in the stones. LOL!

Dumb little punks just have no style anymore. What ever happened to criminals with style? Going after an old man, sheesh.

My new hero! They don't call them the Greatest Generation without a reason!

DD, what a great read "the greatest generation" was too. Yes they are a part of it.

[doggydaddy]

I also want to thank this man for his prior and current service to his country.

Sir, may you continue to live, thrive and squash punk nutsack for years to come!

but, but, but, but

the teen was a poor misguided victim of poverty. The *man* has kept him and his family down. Poor Kid. The old man that has served his country in 3 wars needs to be convicted for violating this young mans civil rights.

The little M'ter F'ker got off light.
A combat Vet of 3 wars Vs. little punk B*tch. Punky Brewster is luck grandad didn't put a KBar in his chest.

Take this as a lesson: if you are going to commit a crime, wear a cup.

I couldn't follow the link to the story. Folks around the country would love to send this Marine $$$$$$ to thank him, not only for his service to his country, but for his and his style.

[Patty PV]

Oops, meant but also for his style. Editing too fast this late in the week . . .

As a former Marine I'm proud of that fellow Marine for his moxy! I would have capped him and avoided even touching his skanky hide. Idiots thugs like that need to be included in Mother Natures Form of Natural Selection leaving this Earth and quit wasting my oxygen. SEMPER FEDELIS

I'll bet this never even happened, You guys believe anything you hear coming from a white man!!!!

[Patty PV]

Funny kato. How do you know the ethnicity of the marine? or the kid? Or that the perp wasn't a white kid? Do tell. Thanks for playing though.

Here's a good link for the original story. It doesn't say much more than the recount above.

FROM THE BIKERNET ZEN CATALOG-- As John Steinbeck once said: Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you

[me]

That's what I'm talkin' about! Oorah @#%$ with the best, Die like the rest. The guys lucky.

Score one for a Hero!! Well done! A surprising beating by somebody's granddad sure teaches a greater lesson than a bullet to the chest. Classy old dude!
