FLORENCE, SC- Thanks to a 72-year-old Army veteran, a suspect that the Florence County Sheriff Deputies have been searching for since Friday, May 21st has now been taken into custody.
According to reports, John Earl, the Army veteran said that he was at home when the suspect ran through his backyard on Saturday morning, May 22nd. Early said that he tried to ask the man why he was running, but that the suspect just pushed him away.
After the suspect pushed him away, Earl took down the suspect, hogtied him, and called the sheriff’s office. Many would call what Earl did fearless, but Earl states he was just doing the right thing. He said:
“I haven’t been pumped up like that in a long time. It felt good, but it felt good when the officers came and put the cuffs on him and took him out. They’re some fine officers.”

The other guy was, well, racism will be brought up.
Dude will probably get sued by the perp.
Woot! ‘Old’ men rock! Take that, you whippersnapper!
Way cool!
He looks like uncle Jesse.
Old guys will usually just shoot ya. This perp was lucky.
Mirror image! Damn! My long lost Twin Brother!
Although I’m 85!
dude assaulted an elderly texas guy on his own property
being elderly enhances the crime

Let himself get hogtied by a 72 year old?
He’s going to have a rough time in the prison showers...
“He tried to lam, but they cleat hitched him.”
“Oh, now I understand!”

Hogtied! lol.
“No he DID’nt!!”
Yes, he DID!
I have nothing but high praise for the old guy who took that suspect down, but the press should have known better than to post the elder man’s name and face pic. I hope he stays safe.
Hogtied???
Obviously a hate crime against BIPOCs!
hogtied him?
Did he have some rope laying about on him to do this?
I may be cynical (or maybe realistic) but it’s certainly possible the press knew exactly what they are doing and did it for that reason.
Maybe the 72 year old Texas guy could have asked to remain incognito, and they would respect that. On the other hand one wonders why news outlets aren’t held responsible for any retaliation or revenge that might occur. On the other other hand (I’m running out) I’d think they would have counsel to warn about such things in today’s climate.
Wait until BLM shows up on his doorstep.
They probably outed him on purpose, and feel good about themselves for doing it. Too many patronizing Libs see every Thug as an unfortunate UnderDog, being repeatedly victimized by the white patriarchy.
We laugh about it here, but for many of these young zombies, they accept the rhetoric as fact.
This is the attitude drummed into them starting in the First Grade. Some can resist it, think for themselves, while most cannot.
