A Glimpse into the Future of Hardcorp
Awesome story that reminded me of HC and why punk kids shouldn't mess around with Marines, even at 84

SANTA ROSA - A boy in his mid-teens learned Wednesday afternoon that it is not a good idea to try to rob a former U.S. Marine at knifepoint, even if the former Marine is 84 years old, police said today.
Santa Rosa police Sgt. Steve Bair said that's what happened around 2 p.m. in the 1600 block of Fourth Street. The elderly man was walking with a grocery bag in each arm when the boy approached him with a large knife, Bair said.
The boy said, "Old man, give me your wallet or I'll cut you," Bair said. The man told the boy he was a former Marine who fought in three wars and had been threatened with knives and bayonets, Bair said.
The man then put his bags on the ground and told the boy that if he stepped closer he would be sorry. When the boy stepped closer, the man kicked him in the groin, knocking him to the sidewalk, Bair said. The ex-Marine picked up his grocery bags and walked home, leaving the boy doubled over, Bair said.
The man reported the attempted robbery to police 45 minutes later.
Bair said the teen is described only as 15 or 16 years old. Anyone with information is asked to call the Police Department.

Thats awesome. A while back there was a parade somewhere for marines returning home from over seas duty. One of the tree hugging hippies come running out into the parade and spit onto one of the marines and called him a baby murder. I think it was in california. The most amazing part of the story is the marine after living through hell that no one truly "wants" to do, the marine managed to keep a straight face and keep walking. Personally i would have snapped his head off and **** down his neck.

RE: A Glimpse into the Future of Hardcorp
i heard a story like that about a year ago
i think the guy was in his 60s though
oddly though both ex-marines didn't report the attempted robbery until an hour or so later

that's because when they got home and told their wives what happened...it took almost an hour for them to convince their husbands that calling the police was necessary--because kicking a punk in the ***** to remind him that we do not take other's belongings...is nothing compared to the realities of horror facing those that swear on their lives to defend this country...
