...what was he doing in Costa Rica in the first place.

No extradition treaty with the U.S.?

[xcamel]

Do you pay to use it?

"...Don't forget the baggy shorts....."

Used to call 'em "Bermeuder shorts"; you know- the ones with the grey, wheat, white, and black plaid.

[Dick Vomer]

.........A retired member of the U.S. military aged about 70 put suspect Warner Segura in a head lock and broke his clavicle after the 20-year-old and two other men armed with a knife and gun held up their tour bus, Luis Hernandez,

I hope Chavez and the other South Americans take note.... Our 70 YEAR OLDS CAN KICK YOUR A$$ES....choke you out and kill you.... bwahahahahahahaha.....70 year old!!!!!

and you asshats want to screw around with our military that has men between the ages of 18 and 35 in the prime of life, full of piss and vinegar.

Hey Chavez, buy some more subs.... that way the sharks can eat you dead.

I love the new term that the media and the libs have found... "asymmetrical warfare".... well the 70 year old had an asymmetrical choke hold on a punk a## b#tch and killed him. take that as a warning. bwahahahahahahahahahahaa

[azhenfud]

Wow! a lot of seniors are killing yoots!

[dmz]

LOL. Do you really have a difficult time with the adjective "retired" modifying "US Tourist".

Please explain your grammatical issues with this construction, as it seems very clear to me.

[Dick Vomer]

the first thing that popped into my head when Samantha Brown popped into your head was.......

[xcamel]

I can't wait to see if the MSM spins this as "Evil senior American GI terminates poor panhandler...."

[AnAmericanMother]

My dad's 82, a WWII combat veteran (N Africa and Italy), and that's exactly how he dresses (although in the winter he wears jeans instead of the Bermuder Shorts).

He's had a little heart trouble and is fighting cancer right now, but I think he could still clean somebody's clock (with the aid of his trust Parker 16 ga. double shotgun, preferably. I don't want him to strain himself.)

[azhenfud]

Don't dare cut the AARP discounts for that guy!

"Just how BIG a senior coffee would ya like?"

[Muzzle_em]

Lol!
Tourist guy gets around!
What do you expect from a guy who "surfed the crash" of the towers on 9-11, even had the photo to prove it!
lol.

[Leisler]

The thugs must of gotten the wrong bus. The must of wanted the bus of old Americans lefties. The one were the guys have weak, gray little pony tails, and the women all wear buttons that say, "Ask me about my cats."

[Malesherbes]

A wonderful story. I was in Puerto Limon years ago, a rather seedy place, but it produces a rarity: cashew wine.

[Lurker]

Don't know how you didn't get pinged.

[MadelineZapeezda]

The tourists left on their Carnival cruise ship after the incident and Hernandez said authorities do not plan to press any charges against them

Sure, do you think they want to jeopardize that cruise ship port stop? I'm sure if it were someplace other than that they would put the old man in jail

Bravo for the senior citizen!

[MelonFarmerJ]

This is the amazing ending to this story, that the Costa Rican authorities quickly released him and the other passengers after determining that they had acted accordingly. Visualize this NOT happening just about every where else on the planet....

[TimeLord]

This was a DISPROPORTIONAL response by the evil, imperialist American military. Waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
He should have TALKED to the assailiants. Diplomacy, not force, is the answer!

[Back to my bong.]

[WV Mountain Mama]

LOL! It was in my head, just didn't describe the entire outfit!! :) Let's not forget to envision the straps that hold up the socks...

[WV Mountain Mama]

Prayers for his beating the cancer in his cool outfit!

[AnAmericanMother]

We have high hopes. Prostate cancer is quite curable, and they caught it early.

I forgot about his little billed driver's cap . . . and he wears penny loafers in the winter time, not sandals. Still the thin black "Air Force socks" though.
