Old men should never pick a fight. This bozo was stupid. And I’m glad he got what he had coming.
On the other hand, never pick a fight with an old man. If he can’t whip you, he might just kill you.
Old guys can’t last in a fight. That’s why the ones who know what they are doing will inflict serious injury in the first few seconds, and then walk away.
That's very true. I have the sense that there are a lot of old dudes out there packing heat. Can't do it here in California, but if I lived anywhere sensible, I'd be one of them. One's physical (and mental) decline in old age is frightening, as I've long known.
