Don’t be messing with the cuddly old grandpa. BTW Mr. Vernon does NOT look 75! He’s a certified bad-ass! Love it.

If the Government learns that he is a homosexual, all charges against him will immediately be dropped and he will be given a high position in Government.

The out come would have been a whole lot different if the defender would have been armed with good handgun.

Also it would have been different if the attacker would have been trained in proper edge weapons use.

Very likely the only reason he isn’t dead is that Mr. Vernon is 75. If he had been 20 years younger, the fight might have ended very differently for the perp, which is not to disparage Mr. Vernon in any way; at 75, you’re just not as powerful anymore. Mr. Vernon deserves every plaudit coming his way, and ought to get a seat in a nice parade car next Memorial Day for continuing to defend this country and everything it values and stands for.

There was an article yesterday about a lady who ran a daycare and was hit by a shovel as she stopped a drunken dad from taking his kids.

I’ve never seen a single article where the hero was someone without prior military experience.

Partly because we'd (the Vet) be ashamed of ourselves for not doing something if we could.

He looks as crazy as a sh!thouse rat. (Thanks dad, for all the nasty little military sayings you bequeathed to me. : )

Not surprised he is a sex pervert to top it off. Also notice it was a classroom of homeschool children who had a chess club. Homeschoolers are usually Christians. Wonder if they were targeted by this demon because they are homeschooled children.

> Too bad the perp wasn’t killed.

my wife used to get angry when I said there are just some people who need to die. But that was before 2009. She understands now...so that others can live free, unharmed and unmolested by others.

my wife used to get angry when I said there are just some people who just need to die or be killed. But that was before 2009. She understands now...so that others can live free, unharmed and unmolested by others. There are some very mentally unstable, evil, and dangerous people that lurk out there in the world today. Its the reason every law-abiding Christian should carry a weapon on him at all times.

> meds again Ban knives.

I wonder which operative in the Valjar war room engaged him online to rile him up to get him to lash out? The op forgot to make sure he had access to a gun first. No bonus for him.../s

From the picture the perp is obviously a loser who everyone shuns. His mother should never have left him out of her basement. Weren’t people like this placed in mental institutions? Oh...I forgot. LIBs closed mental institutions.
