1. oooooops

I hope the Marne and his wife are okay.

I am soooooo bad. I actually smiled at seeing that thug's face. I hope the rext if him look, and feels, worse.

14. You're NOT alone in that, niyad.

Saw the young smart-ass in his freshly-pummeled look.

These “just desserts” have a VERY sweet taste! (And they won’t make you fat!)

[niyad]

16. So very true. Endorphins are so useful.

2. Another Magat FAFO moment!

12. Since it happened in the UK...

... I'd hazard a guess that the attacker would be a Reform... oops I mean Deform voter. Though the attacker opted to vote for being deformed instead.

3. Dumb ass

Thanks for a feel-good story, NJCher!

4. HA ha heh! Serves the little shit right (pardon my language).

5. The old dude looks pretty tough to me

I wouldn't mess with him and I am 11 years younger and a former practitioner of close-quarters combat techniques. I say former to mean over 30 years ago. Plus I am out of shape and hate confrontation.

6. I don't know why, because this is different but,

this reminds me of an old MADD Magazine cartoon. A skinny fella is laying on the beach with his girl friend and a huge guy walks by and kicks sand in his face. The skinny guy signs up for Charles Atlas school of body building and after while he changes into a muscle bound stud. He takes his girl friend to the beach again and this enormously huge giant guy kicks sand in his face.

There's always someone.

7. As a friend put it many years ago when we were discussing egos and

competitiveness. . there is ALWAYS someone. .better than. .smarter than. .stronger, taller, etc., etc. And the opposite.

8. Now his head is perfectly bent for a beret.

Damn. That must hurt.

[erronis]

9. At least the loser's head is still attached to his neck.

Bet he wishes it wasn't.

10. Please describe.

Unable to view in UK, please describe.

11. Forgive the link source please..

Sadly it's the Daily Fail. Summary is that a former junior boxer (who also served in the Royal Engineers in North Africa ) beat the crap out of a would be home intruder who attacked him with a knife. Pensioner restrained him. Police stated would be thief looked like he'd been in a car wreck.

15. that's a good, detailed story, regardless of the source

snip

Recorder Angela Morris said: 'Luckily, Mr Corti was an able-bodied 72-year-old who was able to defend himself.

'The jury might well have concluded you got what you deserved when you entered that property and took a swipe at him with that weapon.

'The elderly and vulnerable people are entitled to demand the protection of courts from people like you who decide to take matters into your own hands and enter a property with a weapon.'

Thanks for providing the link!

13. Looks like the old man

Got him good.

Good..

[niyad]

17. Although this story is from 2009, it is still satisfying. The young thug got

4 1/2 years. I notice that, in the linkd article, he was a Royal Engineer, and nothing about combat instructor, unless there were other articles.

18. An early lesson I learned the hard way while studying martial arts...

Underestimate your opponent at your own peril... You never know who you are up against with a stranger.
