That stupid teen is lucky to be alive. If he'd picked on someone younger, his intended victim might have taken the knife away from him and completed the drill.

If he kicked him hard enough e mighta helped keep the gene pool a little cleaner that old guy musta been one hard as nails marine in his younger days

Ooh Rah Marine!!!

Reminds me of the movie 'Second Hand Lions' with Robert Duvall and Micheal Caine. I love the part where they are eating BBQ, the gang of young punks try to mess with them and Duvall teaches them all a lesson! If you've never seen the movie, it is WELL worth the watch.

I love that movie and that is my favorite scene.

As for the old marine, remember this quote
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
