As the saying goes, never p*$$ off an old guy. If he can’t beat you in a fight, he’ll just pull out a gun and kill you.

Yep. This shoplifter was lucky the 75-yr-old decided he could whip him.

While I applaud this man’s spirit, I recall well the experience, of a friend of mine.

He worked in the Meat Dept at the supermarket. Caught a woman, red handed. stuffing steaks in her coat, and on out the door. He chased her, got bitten for his efforts, took a trip to the hospital, blood poisoning, the whole bit.

DA declined to prosecute her, she turned around, sued the store, settled with the insurance company for $15k ($10k to her, $5k to her lawyer).

The only good thing that came out of it was that he took a job with a competitor, in the wealthy part of town. For some strange reason, people would pay for what they wanted.

Ok, kiddees, this guy will no doubt make ‘the tazer report’ on the walton and johnson radio show tomorrow morning, if not their ‘stupid criminal report’.

Just in case, yes, they have a link:

Yes, but: “Fekete translated from the Hungarian is “Black”.
