They can't run and they can't fight, so if you pose a real threat to them, they just shoot you.Oldgringo wrote:Don't mess with old people, they don't fool around.
Makes sense when you think about it.

I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
