Yeah, I read that on a different site. Cool thing is that these were seniors!
So kids, next time you see an old lady smuggling drugs in from Canada...LEAVE THEM ALONE!

Brave, but it still was dangerous. Still, there's a part of me that likes to see the senior taking out the mugger. Don't mess with old people. They'll give you a good woopin.

Hello, These people were brave and stay and fought as a group.
United we stand..divided we fall. There was several families attack by some young people (teens and young adults). Yet each one was did't resist. So the campers were beaten up.
But as a group...they did not get together to form as a unit. The kids went camp to camp. (NO one want to help the next campers.)
It is amazing how one person can control a group? If threaten by that one person. United you stand strong!
At 70 years old? ....What a brave guy and it shows anyone can applies a choke hold too.
In Hawaii the word : OHANA means family (related or NOT) anyone can be a part of your OHANA!
We all must become a OHANA...to be united and protect ourselves....Aloha: You are welcome to be a part of my OHANA! |

Read about that in the paper. Pretty crazy.

Yeah, and I'm not sure how many of us really are know how to take it that last step. That's not something you get to practice. Most of us don't even think about it much, I'll bet.

I agree. Honestly, most of the fighting instructors out there would not advise action like this. I am not downgrading what he did...it was very admirable. However, there are very few of us who I think would actually do it.
