dealing with thugs senior citizen style

This gives a whole new meaning to going "old school" on somebody. Talk about a rough day for those muggers. I mean, if you're a Costa Rican dude who wants loads of cash for little effort, then a tourist bus full of seniors from the U.S. should be a safe bet, right? Well, not so much. Anyone thinking of robbing an old guy at gunpoint would be wise to read this article first:

Tourist Kills Mugger With Bare Hands

Suddenly, one of the tourists, a U.S. military veteran trained in self defense, jumped out of the van and put the gunman in a headlock...the American, whom [the police chief] refused to identify, struggled with the robber, breaking his collarbone and eventually killing him.

That's what I'm talkin' about! To heck with just fending them off, why not deal with the problem once and for all, and even put on a demonstration for any shady fellas watching? I'd give almost anything to witness something like that first-hand. A punk freaks everyone out by holding up a bus, then some grey-haired guy bursts onto the scene from nowhere and opens up a huge can of whoopa$$ on the unfortunate assailant...priceless. Talk about picking the wrong bus at the wrong time. Just thinking of this has me laughing.

It's worth noting that the guy was obviously from the days before the kinder, gentler military we have now. He met a cowardly act with deadly force and left no questions. He saw a problem and he dealt with it, simple as that. You know, maybe we could call up a few of these guys who know how to get the job done and send them to the Middle East to punish some evildoers. Why not?

Elderly or not, the guy sets a good example for people everywhere to follow. If somebody (or some nation) wants to play rough, then serve it back to 'em!
