He was doing his daily routine...exercising around his neighborhood. All of a sudden he noticed two guys riding bikes in the back of him, but didn't think
much of it. He was almost to his house, so he pulled out his house keys and put them in his hand. The two guys put a gun to his back and demanded money. My
grandpa repeatedly told them that he didn't have any money. They started to fight with him on his front porch...pistol whipped him, punched him, kicked
him. My grandpa fought the whole time as they tried to force him to open his front door since he had his keys in his hand. After they got a joy out of
beating him up, they stole his keys and ran. He yelled for help, but it was 1130am...everyone was at work. Thank God he is okay after the chaos. He said the
only thing he can think about was that if he would've let them in the house...they would've killed him since no witnesses were around, that's why
he fought so much and so hard. What in the effing world are these two 20 year old thugs doing at 11:30 in broad daylight beating up an old man, minding his
own business? Police came and got fingerprints from the bikes that the thugs left in my grandpa's yard. Welcome to New Orleans. I am disgusted and
furious.

Your grandad sounds amazing, I'm glad he is ok.
Seriously though, beating up old people, who does that? Fucking cowards. |

That is just totally totally disgusting!!!! I cannot stand people who commit violent crimes on the elderly!!!! This just made me remember that story a few
years back about the young guy that broke into an 80 year old woman's home and raped her repeatedly during the night! SOunds like your grandfather is quite
a scrapper though. Poor guy!

I hope they rot in maggot-infested hell. That's horrible. Hope he feels okay soon.

That's horrible! I can't understand why someone would do that to an elderly person. It's not as if older people carry around loads of cash, either.
I hope your grandpa is going to be OK.

Your grandpa is tough if he kept them out of the house, damn. I hope he feels better soon.
Those men sound like psychopaths. They need to be taken off the streets, scary. |

That's disgusting. seriously, what is wrong with some people? Good for your grandpa though, I'm glad he's okay. I hope they catch those two
douchebags. Only real cowards would attempt to rob an 80 year old, and sounds like they failed in the actual robbery.

I'm glad that your grandfather is okay. He may want to consider packing a weapon next time he exercises.
I love NOLA, but you couldn't pay me to live there right now. |

I hope they catch those assholes. How could you beat an 80 year old man? No conscience whatsoever.

Dude if someone every did that to my grandmother, they'd need to pray the cops found them first cause it would be over. I'm glad your grandpa is
alright. He should look into getting some mace or something if he's going to keep up that routine. Did he get his locks changed?
