This next homeowner is a force to be reckoned with. He's 91, he was buck naked, but he and his dog decided to go after a would be burglar. He held the man at gunpoint until police arrived. Deputies say they found the would be burglar on the back porch by the pool drunk and trembling, probably not how he thought it would all go down. He got more than he bargained for when he decided to mess with this elderly man and his trusty rottweiler mix. 91-year-old Robert Thompson and his 5-year-old dog Rett tag-teamed a thug trying to break into their Lake Worth home Friday night.
Thompson said, "I think the guy was scared to death, he was screaming."
Thompson jumped out of bed, totally naked he went to go check things out with Rett by his side.
He said, "I started to let him out the door and he was so anxious he got caught in the door."
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office 26-year-old Jose Pascual was the man on the porch. Rett pinned Pascual, but this purple heart World War Two Veteran wanted back-up.
Thompson said, "I went in and got my cell phone and dialed 911 and got my gun."
Thompson says Pascual was coming toward him so he fired a shot. Authorities say he held the drunk intruder at gunpoint until deputies arrived, but he's giving his best bud Rett all the credit for the happy ending.
He said, "He's the hero."

Guess the old fella believes in open carry.
I can tell you, I see a naked 91 year old coming towards me, I’m going to run. Gun, no gun, I’m lighting the afterburners.
Some things should just scare the living crap out of anyone. That’s one of those things.
What, NO PICTURES?
ping-a-ling ...
Guy may have been drunk but seeing a 91 year old naked and holding a firearm probably traumatized him for life.
PUT THAT BACK IN THE HOLSTER.
At least no one is gonna get their eye poked out.
Been there done that.
My X woke me in the middle of the night
by whispering, “There’s a man in our kitchen!!”
At that time I didn’t have any of my weapons
in the house so all I could grab eas a baseball
bat, chased him out of the house and me stark
nekkid with a bat, he got away as I wasn’t going
to climb over chainlink fencing in that state.
He had climbed in a den window, one that was
completely blocked by the X’s plant collection
without knocking over a one and was going through
the refridge.
Now I sleep with a .45, it’s amazing how much my
life is like it was forty years ago in Vietnam.
No longer accurate since we live in the age of Viagra.
Nah.
Palm Beach County... ?
Could be.
The guy kept his priorities straight: gun essential, clothes non-essential. He and his doggie deserve medals. The responding police officers deserve medals if they managed to handle the situation without bursting out laughing at the sight of the armed-and-dangerous nekkid 91-year-old geezer.

Please, no photo’s.
I hope the cops are ready re ready when this punk returns to this location. I hope the old mans family moves the old gentleman before this slime is released.
FWIW, the guy is a WWII vet
I might run around naked when I turn 91!
U wanted a pic of the homeowner didn’t ya? ;-D
ping
And IBTP
NO, IT ISN’T!!!!!
It’s just fine without pictures.
Did I say that? < g >
NO skivvies? Tsk tsk.
Der, I can’t imagine why anyone would want a tough breed like a rottweiler...
Yeah, I know. Should have just given the
ol lady the bat and let her take care of it
but you know how it is, then I’d have had to
hear about it FOREVER.
you just cant make this stuff up...

You and yer dog okay?
Yeah but my 18 year old girlfriend is still shook up a bit.
Nothing more scary than a 91 year old man “shaking to the wind.” Anyone who has a gym membership and spends even a minute in a locker room knows what I am talking about.
Guat Mayan from the looks of him (of which there are many in Palm Beach County). Probably doesn’t even speak SPANISH, let alone English.
“...you just cant make this stuff up...”
“THIS is my rifle, THIS is my gun...
This one’s for shooting...THIS one’s for fun...”
Other than that...I have absolutely NO comment...
Nekkid...tag team...no, no, I just ain’t going there...
God bless his ol’ Rebel heart.
Heh heh heh...
Here’s one more event the left will forget when they try to make sure folks can’t arm themselves.
THIS is my weapon, THIS is my gun... ;-P
What was that old joke...??
“She had a pair of 38’s...and a 45 pointed right at me”
bttt
Dude! Gundefense.net! A little Freeper loyalty, eh? :-)
You know...I’ll just BET he watched “Gran Torino” on DVD lately...But the REAL question is - did he say “GET OFF MY LAWN!”
Nekkid...91...damn, I hope I’m that full of piss and vinegar at that age!!! Ha!
If you’re a LEO, how in the HELL do you explain THIS one to the wife after a day on the beat???
“Honey...the damnedest thing happened...this older gentleman with his Johnson hanging out, chased some young pr*ck ...” Nah that won’t work...
“Honey...you should have seen the piece he was carrying...” NO, that won’t work either...
“Man, that old guy had some BALLS...” err., maybe not...
“Crotchety?” Uh uh...
I mean...what the hell can you say?
LFFN (Live Free & Fight Nekkid)
