Naked 91-year-old holds burglar at gunpoint
LAKE WORTH, Fla. -- This next homeowner is a force to be reckoned with. He's 91, he was buck naked, but he and his dog decided to go after a would be burglar.

He held the man at gunpoint until police arrived. Deputies say they found the would be burglar on the back porch by the pool drunk and trembling, probably not how he thought it would all go down.

He got more than he bargained for when he decided to mess with this elderly man and his trusty rottweiler mix. 91-year-old Robert Thompson and his 5-year-old dog Rett tag-teamed a thug trying to break into their Lake Worth home Friday night.

Thompson said, "I think the guy was scared to death, he was screaming." Thompson jumped out of bed, totally naked, went to go check things out with Rett by his side.

He said, "I started to let him out the door and he was so anxious he got caught in the door."

Lawful use of firearms.... every one reduces the chance you will be able to ban them someday. Think that guy is every going to support a ban on firearms? What about members of his family?

10. Every time you post, it reminds me of Eric Cartman screaming...
"GAHD-DAMMIT!". You might try a setting other than 'full meltdown' for your posts.

11. was briefly on the greatest page
This post was briefly on the greatest page, and I for one believe that "Naked 91-year-old holds burglar at gunpoint" belongs there. The un-recc'ers in this case clearly lack senses of humor AND justice.

I've already given my rec (got it to 4 the first time), so here's my kick. Y'all will have to do the rest.
