Man, 73, Thwarts Home Robbery With 'Karate Skills'

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Each morning Bill Garner sips a cup of coffee on the front porch of his north Columbus home. But on Tuesday morning, his routine didn't go as planned when he said two armed men tried to force their way into his home.

Garner, 73, had just stepped outside at about 7 a.m. when two young men confronted him. Garner (pictured, right) said one of the men put a gun in his face and demanded to go inside, 10TV's Patrick Bell reported.

.....

"I'm 73 years old, I know karate, I know judo, I know everything," Garner said. "Nobody comes into my house without my permission."

Garner said he wanted to defend his home in part because his wife of 51 years recently died, and he did not want anything stolen from the home, Bell reported.

1. Geez, what baaastids. Maybe he'd better have his coffee with his friend Mister Revolver from now on

Or move to a safer 'hood.

I hope they get those bums, and I hope they are shamed in jail for trying to beat up an old dude.

That's just reprehensible.
