You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Glad, for once, the innocent one wasn't charged.

Saw an interview with prisoners once, they asked who THEY gave the most respect when they encountered armed homeowners. A large percentage said old men. "Many of them are WWII or Korean War vets, have seen real combat and being elderly, just don't care. When they say they'll shoot, they aren't just threatening. They will."

The old fella has style. Love the red white and blue suspenders. Too many punks see old folks as an easy target. In most cases they are. I am glad that this gentleman proved these punks wrong.

Don't pick a fight with an old man. He is too old to fight, so he'll just kill you.
