    80-year-old John Wayne fan puts attacker in hospital

    Investigators say they were definitely going to rob him - possibly even kill him.
    But an 80-year-old North Texan wasn't about to let that happen, so he took action.
    One of the suspects is in the hospital and both are facing charges.

    Two men obviously thought James (AlBob) Pickett, 80, was an easy target when they showed up at his home on Saturday with a knife.
    "He just came through that door, stabbing and beating," said Pickett.

    Captain Clint Pullin said it looked as though the men wanted to kill him.
    But before you worry too much about Pickett, learn a bit more about him.
    He's a WWII veteran, former firefighter and lifelong John Wayne devotee.
    In short, even at 80, he is someone you just don't mess with.

    What the men didn't know is Picket had taken a pistol and put it in his pocket before opening the door.
    "He jumped and turned and I shot him," Picket said.
    The two brothers, Paul and Holden Perry, ran but didn't get far before calling an ambulance.
    A bullet just missed Paul Perry's spine.
    "The only problem was I run out of bullets," Picket said.
    A neighbor describes Picket as a "hero."
    Worried about retribution, friends are sticking close.
    Both brothers face assault, burglary and robbery charges.

    Deputies assure James (AlBob) Pickett they aren't likely to get out of jail anytime soon but he isn't worried.
    "I think I'm a ten times better shot than and he is... But they best not come back," he said

    I like to joke about his age, even though he's really not that old.

    Why?

    "In short, even at 80, he is someone you just don't mess with."
    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.

    This kind of thing happens about 2.5 million times every year, according to 13 independent studies.

    But don't tell Min0 lee that, she thinks guns are bad.

    "The only problem was I run out of bullets,"
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
