91 Year Old Badass

Well this is definitely the story of the day. A 91 year old retired sheriff, and war hero beat the shit out of a guy who tried to steal from his house.

"William Hook battled back after thug Michael MacKinnon broke into his home and took him prisoner. The lout covered his head with a cloth and tried to nick his war medals. But the furious veteran gave the cowardly thief a BLACK EYE and forced him out his back door - where he got stuck in a river and arrested by cops. Recalling his ordeal, Mr Hook said he feared he'd never again see the medals he earned while fighting the Nazis during the Second World War - before he was held for five years as a POW in Germany (The Sun)."

The story only gets better, as the robber ran into trouble after going into the sitting room where he tried to cover Mr Hook's head and told him to hand over all his money. The ex-sheriff, who said he was known as "Hang 'em Hook" (awesome) in his 30 years on the bench, said "The chap walked in and stuck this thing over my face".

"He didn't scare me in the slightest, in fact I like a bit of fisticuffs.

"He gave me a black eye so I gave him one back."

Badass. That's what that is. Anyways, he chased him out the backdoor, and the guy fell in a river and was caught by police.

"But I've come through worse things in my life. I had a tough time as a POW, but I survived. And here I am today, still fighting off what the world throws at me."

Everyone, next time you drink a beer take a second, raise your glass and salute Mr. "Hang 'em Hook" William Hook.

FIU's Kendall Berry Stabbed To Death

I don't know anything about him, or FIU, or anything about this whole incident. All I know is that this happened in Miami, which is going to be the next place I'm going to move. The thought process of me moving to different places hinges on 2 things. 1. It needs to have a high crime rate. 2. It needs to get struck by hurricanes frequently. Miami fits both of those, so it's a perfect match. It's New Orleans but with more Cuban people and beaches. Bad Bays 1 and 2 was also filmed there. Plus I would get to go to work in white pants and a Hawaiian Shirt, now that's a place for me.

Oh yea, my condolences go out to the Berry family.

Jonathan Wilhite Hurt Running From Attackers

"New England Patriots cornerback Jonathan Wilhite, who was a last-minute scratch for Sunday’s game, told police he pulled his groin hours before kickoff while running from two men who approached him outside his home, police said today. North Attleboro police responded to a Cumberland Farms near Wilhite’s home after the Pats player ran into the convenience store and asked a clerk to call authorities, cops said in a statement. Wilhite, 25, told police “two subjects” approached him in his parking lot when he arrived home. Police did not give an exact time of the incident. Wilhite said one person “approached him on foot and yelled at him,” the police statement said.

“Mr. Wilhite became concerned and ran to Cumberland Farms where he asked the clerk to call police,” the statement said. “He did mention that he had pulled his groin while he was running (Boston Herald).”

I was wondering why he wasn't on the field. I figured he pulled his groin during practice, but instead it was cause by some North Attleboro scum. It sounds like he is fine, and will be able to play next week, but this is a very bazaar story.
