Things Don’t Turn Out Well for Group of Thugs

Post by baldeagle »

75 year old Minnesota man defends himself against armed thugs.
Following a struggle with one of the intruders, Carlson was able to grab his own gun and shoot the armed suspect, who was later pronounced dead at the scene, according to Pine County Sheriff Robin Cole. The dead suspect is identified as 23-year-old Gypsy Watts. A second suspect fled.
Three suspects are now in jail.

They can't run and they can't fight, so if you pose a real threat to them, they just shoot you.

Makes sense when you think about it.

Yep. I am too young to die and to blasted old to take a butt whupping.

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.

There it is. I recall Crossfire posting several years ago: "Never pick a fight with an old man. If he's too tired, he'll just have to kill you." :mrgreen:
