- subliminalurge, on 10/11/2007, -0/+45It's footage like this that makes me wish security cameras were HD.
- Jonmad17, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21He was handling him just fine by himself.But the the other guys couldn't just stand there.
- ladyarcher85, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17You go gramps!
- chalkboy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11What is a VCR?
- xxTazxx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Because its cooler.
- pifko1987, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Aren't all criminals black?
- dime, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6You're right. Perhaps he should have just asked him nicely to stop pickpocketing him and to sit in the corner to wait for the police.
- Desolite, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6i like the kindey shots he throws in liberally.
- loganhid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6that look like a 3 man beat-down
- pifko1987, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'd pay to beat up a robber
- chesbomb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5SEMPER FI!
- cynicalirony, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Eye for an Eye. The robber attempted to take something of theirs, so attempt to take something of the robbers (pride, dignity, life). It all works out.
- xmkatx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4That guy was 27? He looked like a teenager next to those big guys.
But anyway, haha that guy got PWNED. - PhillipL, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Maybe because they were angry.
- griz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2That store clerk is the size of 2 marines. I seem to recall the article saying the store clerk pinned him outside while they waited for the police. Just the thought of being pinned by that guy would have made me think twice about trying anything in his store.
- brstilson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I've been in that gas station several times. Why couldn't I have been there then? This is quite a badass video.
- pifko1987, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Original story:
http://digg.com/politics/72_year_old_ex_Marine_beats_the_crap_out_of_27_year_old_pickpocket - nickvegas, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3the sped-up video and lack of sound demands you watch it with this song for the soundtrack.
http://content.ytmnd.com/content/b/a/7/ba77336d3667ae04571edf39ed990386.mp3 - DenTPuzz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yes, but without the video I think
- dbz253, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2i'm glad he jumped in. i hate seeing people not take action when bad things like this happen
- sully213, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I don't care if the story is a dupe the video is new. It was awesome to read about it and even better to actually see it. Once again, that old man makes me want to stand up and cheer!
Dugg again!!!! - sundancekid503, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Thieves deserve to be beaten
- xyqxyq, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Is VCR a new programming language?
- OckToePoos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That’s' definitely his Golden Gloves fighting coming back to him there. Head, Head, Body Shot, Body Shot. I would've loved to see him do a "bob and weave" and hit that punk one more time.
- underrun, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1He did get a couple of shots in but it's not like it sounded before. I recall the phrase "blood everywhere" but those punches wouldn't do that.
- Waterrat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1 I agree. It's so refreshing to see a criminal thug get the ***** beat out of him.
- dime, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I dunno.. that first right he lands could have easily split a brow.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Why don't they just pin him down and wait for the police?"
Easier said than done. Ever tried to pin down an attacker who is fighting back? Either punch first or be the one going down (or get knocked the ***** out anyway if you don't no how to fight, lol) - dadood, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Kidney shot!
- adgallant, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1....leaves the world blind.
- Wartz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I have a VCR! Old VHS tapes ftw
- sigginike90, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Lol isn't that a moded version or something of the Ogrish.com site.
- DenTPuzz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Looked like minimal force to me...
- hapasc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0the price is wrong b!tch!
actually one punch could have put blood everywhere. it only takes one punch to bloody a nose... - houndeyex, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2And of course the thief had to be black to fit the stereotype.
- pifko1987, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Wait a minute...Did the crook escape!?!?
- maxer64, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0He's from Grand Rapids, MI, not Rapids Grand...
- brstilson, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Actually the thief is white. He probably thought he was black, though, until now.
- imran7, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1that looked like 1080i, great quality! made my eyes bleed
- imran7, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1accidental double post
- Scheissen, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1really?! A video? In the video section!
Buried. - DevinOlsen, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2It did look sweet, don't get me wrong.. But the way it was worded in the news story made this SO much more bad ass...
- Palintheus, on 10/11/2007, -5/+0Didn't this make the front page about a week or so ago?
- litmus101, on 10/11/2007, -9/+3Is it me or did anyone notice the camera date said 2001 ? someone forget to set the clock like my VCR blinking 12:00am. Oh boy I just dated my self. lol
- FadieZ, on 10/11/2007, -7/+1Which one's the marine?
- OpCzar, on 10/11/2007, -10/+2Why do people insist on beating the robber? Why don't they just pin him down and wait for the police?
- weeeezzll, on 10/11/2007, -11/+1Damn you beat me to it by 1 hour....lol
