Some punks think older people are easy marks. That's not always true.

Some older people stay in good physical and mental shape and aren't to be messed with.

This 79 y/o appears to be one of the strong ones.

Several years ago, I read a story about three couples in their 80’s walking along a beach in the Caribbean. Four local knuckledraggers thought them an easy target.

The three elderly gentlemen were all veterans of the War in the Pacific. When the dust settled, three knuckedraggers were dead and the fourth was badly injured.

I love stories with happy endings.

If the victim is elderly, in addition to the minimum mandatory sentence imposed by the statute, the statute also reclassifies battery from a misdemeanor to a felony, punishable by a term of prison of up to five years and a fine of up to $5,000.

I had a neighbor that saw an interview with John Glen some time ago. Said he thought he was really sharp, for his age...had all the answers when the interviewer asked them. I’m sure Glen was just regurgitating talking points.

The neighbor was a political illiterate, and his benchmark for elder behavior was his grandmother, who sipped beer all day snd talked back to the TV.
