TheyThought He'd Be Easy"

The thug who attacked this 84-year-old man thought he'd be an easy target because he was so old. Boy, did they get a surprise. When it started, he beat him unmercifully and severely injured him—until he got his gun and shot one of them, who was found wounded when the cops (finally) arrived. In a similar incident, a 54-year-old man took a gun away from a robber and shot him to death with his own gun. These incidents should give a message to armed burglars. Don't underestimate old men. They'll surprise you sometimes. I'm 78, and for the first time in my life I'm a bit “fearful” of simply going to the grocery store because I know the thugs—who always choose “easy targets” will view me as such. If they try men though, they'll find out different. I remember a time when my daughter was approached by a guy with a gun. She took it away from him and threw him in a creek. Men with guns don't always win. (Guns)
