80-year-old John Wayne fan puts attacker in hospital

"The only problem was I run out of bullets," Picket said.

"I think I'm a ten times better shot than and he is... But they best not come back," he said.

Now that's how you get shit done.... :bow:



80-year-old John Wayne fan puts attacker in hospital | Latest News | WFAA.com



Investigators say they were definitely going to rob him - possibly even kill him.
But an 80-year-old North Texan wasn't about to let that happen, so he took action.
One of the suspects is in the hospital and both are facing charges.
Two men obviously thought James Pickett, 80, was an easy target when they showed up at his home on Saturday with a knife.
"He just came through that door, stabbing and beating," said Pickett.
Captain Clint Pullin said it looked as though the men wanted to kill him.
But before you worry too much about Pickett, learn a bit more about him.
He's a WWII veteran, former firefighter and lifelong John Wayne devotee.
In short, even at 80, he is someone you just don't mess with.
 
The idiocy of criminals amazes me. Take a look at that guy. Even at 80, that man has one of the nastiest "don't screw with me" looks I've ever seen. He even resembles Coach Earle Bruce a bit. If these guys had a micro-ounce of brains they would have proceeded on to the next target. This guy ought to be a big hit on the "talk-show" circuit, which I'm sure will be forthcoming.

Thank You sir for your service to this country.

Here Here for the older gentleman. I find it wonderful that the spirit was very willing. The Duke still lives in his heart. Kudo's.

I wonder what the Duke is thinking right now?

When in doubt, wipe them out.
