If you're going to try and mug an 84 year-old ex-boxer, you'd better bring more than a commando knife, youngster

And, this being England, how long until he's charged with assault?

I guess he can thank his white trainers for his boxing prowess.
Oh, that means something different over there?

More likely, no matter what weapon you choose, it has to be coupled with the will to use it.

The attack happened on Colville Road, close to Cherry Hinton High Street in the south of the city, at about 22:30 GMT on Wednesday.
Mr Sandy described his attacker as white, slim, aged 18 to 20 with short, dark hair. Police further noted that the attacker seemed to have two arms, more than one leg, and was hatless. The attacker was likely human, and may have had a nose.
Police are appealing for witnesses.

Am I that spoiled now that I always expect a video? Wow. Didn't take long in the grand scheme of things. Considering I still get a kick seeing these words on the screen and then the responses which evidence their existence elsewhere.

A lesson to be learned here for the young Farkers and Farkettes. When you get to be our age death is something that is not feared, we will kick your punk asses and then laugh at you.

When the old timer came to his senses the next day, rather than tell the police, he should have wandered the streets to find the little bastard and whipped his arse a second time. Just for good measure.

So they didn't get this on CCTV? Really? B-b-but... I remember seeing a documentary that said that England's towns and cities are riddled with CCTV cameras, that Big Brother -- in the form of the police -- were watching EVERYTHING to cut down on crime and protect the citizenry.
Darn. I was hoping to see this posted on YouTube before too long...

Well, not to mention that they don't have the crime problems that the US has because they got rid of guns. Oh, and that Europe is better than everyone else.

You shoot the right arm (only 30% of people are lefties), that way they know you're business and they can't use a gun if they're carrying.
And you do it in back. A shot hurts more when they don't see it coming.

I did two years of Kung Fu training nearly fifteen years ago and haven't practiced since.Someone took a swing at me last year, and my training kicked in. He was on the ground before I even consciously realized what I was doing.
A lesson, kiddies: trained fighters never lose their training. They have it in them at a base level. That is what happened here. Ask any boxer or martial artist and they will tell you.
/yes, cool story, I know

It's not a matter of just having training, but having good training. I've practiced martial arts since I was 5 thanks to my dad, had some ok teachers and some really bad ones. Thankfully I've also had some fantastic ones. It still astonishes me how many assholes come out of a McDojo after plopping down the money for their belt test and think they are a badass.

You're thinking Massachusetts (new window).
Anyone with a modicum of literary skills would be able to figure out that the guy in Massachusetts was defending property and not his own life, but get on with your bad self.

I often find that the skill to use it is also rather important.
You may want to use a weapon, but if you don't know how to use it, the odds can easily change.

Anybody with a modicom of reading comprehension would be able to see that there were two guys in Massachusetts. The alleged thief and the guy charged. The alleged thief was carrying at least two weapons one of which was a bladed one. The guy charged said that the alleged thief came at him which is why he admitted to hitting him in the face.

Hoodlum: Hey, who do you think you are, huh?
Hub: I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN and loved only one woman with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!
