72 yr old pummels pickpocket....

[KDOG]

PWNED?

Har! Ex Marine, former Golden Gloves = pummeled punk.

 

[Regs]

Hah! That's great!

I would of loved to been there. How was the guy still standing after 7 punches? I'm surprised the crook didn't press charges for assualt.

 

[Toastedlightly]

So many stories of badasses recently.

 

[Flyback]

I hate thieves as much as the next person but:

Jesse Daniel Rae, the 27-year-old Newaygo County man accused of trying to pick Barnes' pocket, was arraigned Monday in Rockford District Court on one count of unarmed robbery, a 15-year felony.

WTF? 15 years?

 

[funkymatt]

15 years and a punch in the face, actually.

 

[keird]

That's awesome. I don't know if a surveillance/security video would help this thread, but I'd like to see it.

"I wouldn't want my wife to give me hell for lettin' that guy get my money," he said with a smile.

theres the real reason for ya. His sweetie back home would have kicked his ass

 

[ExPFC Wintergreen]

15 years seemed really harsh to me too. I can see that for a robbery where you're threatening someone, but the whole point of pickpocketing is to go undetected. Maybe it would be too hard to legally differentiate, so they just call it robbery.

 

[Greyd]

Where is the AWESOME video that this would be? I would love to see it.

 

[Goosemaster]

That guy, being a marine, probably has the biggest grin in the world right now after what he just did at his age...hidden back here...you know, in the shadow of his heart where no one can see it

And the kid.....ahahha...dude must have been shocked as hell....

"yoink"
*boom bam* *more batman noises*
"what the fu..."

 

[yhelothar]

7 clean punches from an ungloved ex-champion boxer right on the face?

He must be in critical condition now.

 

[Nerva]

wow, got his ass beat by a 72 year old and 15 years in prison. he better not let the other inmates know, or they are gonna make him toss a lot of salads.

 

[Born2bwire]

Damn, even at 72 he looks like he could dole it out.

 

[Tiamat]

wow, nice! Hah, his wife would have whooped him :laugh: scary!

lol that would get laughed out of court. Attacking a senior citizen ....no jury in the country would jconvict him there.

 

[DaShen]

Awesome!

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

"There was blood everywhere," said another manager on duty, Abby Ostrom, 25.

Bwaaahahahahahahahahahahaha... that was priceless.

BTW, nowhere did it say the guy go 15 years. It just said that the crime was a 15 year felony. This kid isn't getting anywheere near that. Still funny as hell though. :thumbsup::laugh:

 

[paulxcook]

Good one, old badass guy. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

haha yeah.

a buddy of mine's grandfather was a golden gloves champion and spent 10 years as a marine. even at the age of 76-80 (not sure) he was a strong man. no way would i fvck with him. heck he would have kicked my ass and not even broke a sweat.

If you know how to fight, it really does not matter the age. Most people dont fight any more, they just grab a gun or something to make themselves feel big. Alot of older men can dish it out very well, mostly because they have done it before, the kid that was beat up probablly never has been in a real fight, does not know how to be tough because he never has had to be.

For instance, My father was home listening to his Johnny Cash and having a beer or two. My younger brother comes home from the bars with a couple of friends. My father was like 64 at the time, my brother was 21. Now my father is maybe 5'9" and almost 165lbs. not big at all.
So one of my brother's friends gets in my dad's face, dont know why or how, so my dad clocks him once, chipped a tooth and dropped him to the ground, the kid did not get back up. Shock and lack of expirence will drop most and keep them there.

This will make me happy for the rest of day. Thank you for posting this!

15 years is insane for an attempted pickpocket

Glad he got his ass kicked, but wtf...15 years? Did i read that right?

 

[GDaddy]

15 is probablly the maximum for his crime, also we dont know the crooks past record. Could be a 3 strikes type thing.

This is not how the legal system works. Police always after an arrest charge an individual with the worst crimes for which they qualify. Now the dependent attorney and prosecutor have an initial negotiation. Based on many factors, criminal history and the context of the crime. A lessor charge maybe immediately substituted for the initial charge. So right off the bat the new charge may only have a 5 year max. In this case maybe 3rd degree larceny or something like that which is not a felony. Now if the guy is a junkie or has no criminal record he will likely do no time. Rehab or accelerated rehabilitation with probation is likely to follow. Again, the circumstances would have to be pretty severe for this guy to receive the maximum sentence of the initial charge.

I'm not a lawyer but this is my understanding of how the legal system works.
