72 year old marine kicks robbers butt

ALPINE TOWNSHIP -- A 72-year-old former Marine fought off a man who tried to steal money out of his pocket.
Bill Barnes says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket around 9 a.m. June 22 at the Next Door Food Store at 4616 Alpine Avenue in Alpine Township. That is when he felt ahand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash.
He immediately grabbed the person's wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened. Get the rest of the story here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19442397/

Good for you Marine. People need to realize senior citizens are still people. No respect. It's sad that I can see the degenerating state of the world and i'm only 17.
