Title: A little bit of justice from a 71 year old
Post by: Meds on July 01, 2009, 03:11:39 PM
Nothing worse than waking up to find some cretin breaking into your house. Looks like this waster broke into the wrong pensioners house. Little warning the photo does show a chap with some cuts and bruises and a bit of blood but hey ho he got what he deserved.

You know he is going to be the butt of jokes in prison.  Hmmmm maybe I should have worded that differently...

He is going to be 'The guy who was beaten up by an extra from the movie Cocoon.'

The thug will probably try to retain a lawyer to sue the 71 yrs old for beating him up  :roflmao

Totally, two punks robbed a pharmacist in Oklahoma City at gun point, he shot one, the other got away, and he is on trial for murder when he should have been given a metal.

Imagine what would have happened if we were habitually armed in this country!

You would have one less burglar.  And detoured others from attempting that activity.

When you are brought up with guns in the house it just feels normal.  I was in my high school gun club and my grandmother was on the college rifle team.  Which I fully support because guns are just as dangerous as cars.  Just like teaching auto safety is very important, so is gun safety.  One gun accident is one to many.

When I see a shotgun it's like seeing a golf club.  A lot of kids in America grow up and watch television and almost never see guns used properly, like target shooting and hunting.  When kids are shown guns are for shooting people they don't like, and no positive messages to counter, and no gun safety in the home or shooting sports activities, it just contributes to gun accidents.  IMO.

OK, soapbox time over for alan.
