A 76-year-old man in Broward County, Florida recently went to a nearby ATM to withdraw some cash. While facing the ATM, two goons approached the victim from behind in an attempt to take the man’s money. But this senior citizen wasn’t the easy target the thugs had counted on, as the man effectively fought off the would-be muggers.
Check out this security footage that was released by the Coconut Creek Police Department: On the hierarchy of scummy-ness with regards to criminals, the most contemptible are those who prey on children. Fortunately, prison communities have their own curious honor code for those who perpetrate such crimes, and other convicts go after such offenders behind bars with utter brutality. It’s like a self-policing morality among felons. But second on the ‘despicability index’ is most certainly those who feed on the aged.
It’s difficult not to smile when we see how this man handled himself and think about the stories he’s probably telling his grandkids about the incident. Good for him, he should be proud of his tenacity. But this incident also tells another tale and one which is much more troubling.
For every 76-year-old who can pull off this type of resistance, there are many more who would not have been so lucky. Time takes its toll, and the older we get the less capable we are of defending ourselves as this man did. Imagine if this man had failed in his struggle. And imagine if that money was all he had to put food on his table for the week. And imagine if those punks had been more persistent and more violent, and this man had ended up in the hospital; or worse.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
