GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Bill Barnes says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when he felt a hand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash.

He immediately grabbed the person's wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened

1. That is a great story!!!

Good on him!

2. reminds me of something

..my Dad would do. I remember when he was 60, a big bouncer got drunk and out of hand and thought it would be fun to pick on my Dad. He didn't think it was so funny when he was getting stitched up in the ER :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. That is SOOOOOO fuckin' sweet!

And not just cuz it was an old guy beating the perp. I think any time a perp gets the crap beat out of 'em, it's fucking funny.

Especially when it's a 72 year old Marine, steel worker, Golden Gloves dude, and the phrase "there was blood everywhere" is part of it.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

6. yeah, they just showed

the security camera tape on the news here. He grabbed the guy by the arm and gave him 2 head shots and 3 body shots before he knew what was happening. In short, he beat the shit out of him :evilgrin:

4. He doesn't look like someone to mess with.

His forearms are huge! Good for him, though.

5. "There was blood everywhere," said another manager on duty, Abby Ostrom, 25.
