Caught On Camera: 72 Year Old Walmart Greeter Punched In Face-Serious Injuries
Edited on Wed Dec-02-09 05:36 PM by RamboLiberal
NORTH VERSAILLES, Pa. -- An elderly Walmart greeter was punched in the face and seriously hurt outside of the store in North Versailles.

Channel 11 got surveillance video of the incident Tuesday. The video shows a man walked up to Thomas Jenkins, 72, of McKeesport, and knocked him to ground.

Police said the man is Paul Washington, 55, of North Versailles.

Jenkins was taken to UPMC McKeesport Hospital and then to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital because of the extent of his injuries.

“He just cold cocked him. He went up there, and there was no ‘Hey you.’ He just went up and whacked him,” said James Comunale, North Versailles police chief.

The Ahole that punched this elderly man claimed he bumped him - I hope they stick this f*ck in prison for a very very long time.

BTW, this Wal-Mart is only a couple of miles from me.

1. Ah, the holidays! Peace, joy, love, and giving.
Time to be with friends and family, and remember the true spirit of the season.

I HATE THIS TIME OF YEAR. They could just cancel everything between Thanksgiving and Memorial Day and it would be fine with me.

3. Paul Washington should look over his shoulder for a long time.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone does the same to him some day, after what he did to that elderly man.

4. He was waiting on someone it's obvious...
I doesn't look like a random assault. I'm wondering what the back story is.

In any case that was a ruthless punch. I hope they throw the book at the idiot.

6. Pre-existing condition. Works at a location where violence is likely. Don't cover.
