So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Love it when this happens overseas. Here in the states the old fella would not have had his right to defend himself, his rights to privacy, nor his right not to be bothered by the press recognized. Complete respect for the man !!!

Dude, great story. Can you imagine being a 25yr old guy in that group, watching the old man come to the rescue? That would be humbling, to say the least.

He's probably an ex-Marine or ex-Army who still gets up at 6AM every morning to workout.

I'm still confused as to how 2 armed men couldn't do anything while the other mugger was getting choked out. Pussies...

well they were probably a little stunned. Originally Posted by Goodfella9783

He probably squished his breathing pipe, and he died minutes later of asphyxiation.

Yeah I know but you'd think if the other 2 saw their man getting choked out they'd start shanking the American immediately. Originally Posted by Brachiisaurus

Most armed criminals (thugs, muggers) are pussies in general. They prey on the old and weak. Originally Posted by Goodfella9783

Could have been adults or kids. I was just putting together that they ran and also they had knives rather than a gun. It just seems like kid stuff to me. Like an older leader with two hoods.
