Happy ending when the weak wins...

I'm glad the couple was unharmed. Wonder what new tattoo the perp will be put on his skin--maybe picture of his butt being kicked by a senior citizen.

That is hilarious!

Too bad the GG wasn't carrying - the BG desperately needs to be permanently removed from the gene pool.

There is a difference in prison and professional tats. This guy maybe has a mixture, but none of what I would call high quality even for those that may be from a shop.

You do see a lot more women these days (and men too) that have numerous tattoos. There is one lady in the local Home Depot where I shop that has a large number of tattoos that are visible. Also, if you watch the television show American Pickers, Danielle that runs their store has a lot of well designed body art. If someone with a large amount of very good quality tats approaches me, I will be much less on alert than if a person with gang/prison tats confronts me.

Either way, tats or not, I will always look at the demeanor of the person who is approaching me and what their body language is, if I have time, to asses the possible threat before it reaches me. If I have someone that comes on me quickly without warning, I will be going to level orange no matter until I can verify they are not a threat to me or others.

I think the title to this thread is wrong. Sounds like the victim in the case was anything but weak!

I am happy this turned out the way it did. Would love to see how this thug is treated in prison when the other inmates learn his crime was thwarted by some 'old dude'.

Hair, clothing, and body art are what the person wants them to be—or wanted at some point in his life, in the case of tattoos.

For some people it's a personal idiosyncrasy. For others it's a warning or advertisement that says, "Don't hire me."

Keith, asses are two or more donkeys. It is a good idea to assess the behavior of others.

And plenty of neatly dressed people with good hair have turned out to be rapists and murderers. They are probably the scariest, because they can glide in under your radar.

Oops. Spell checker didn't catch that one. LOL

The word asses is spelled correctly.

The problem with spelling checkers (as I am not the first to point out) is that the bigger the dictionary, the greater the likelihood that misspelled words will not be flagged.

Yeah, I need a grammar checker on these.

I hate to say it, but Microsoft Office is getting pretty good. Sometimes it can figure out enough of the context to know if you are misusing words like right and write or its and it's.

Maybe there are third-party grammar checkers like that. I haven't looked. If I start screwing up that kind of thing, I need to get a different job.
