My dad was shopping at a local Wal-Mart a few days ago and used the restroom in the back of the store. A late teen early 20’s Latino man approached my dad and demanded his money. My dad has a bad ankle from Vietnam so the guy probably thought he was an easy target due to his limp. Put a man with PTSD in a corner and make demands it’s not a good situation, I think dad broke his jaw and knocked him against the wall and someone else came in and the guy fled. Not that I agree with his actions due to the robber maybe having a weapon and the police were involved in this as well, but good for dad for being 60! 
I would just use the restrooms at the front of your local store, just a word of advice to keep you and your family safe.  |

i'm glad he's ok and maybe the would-be robber will think twice before stealing a straw to eat his liquid diet for the next several weeks

My dad is a simple man. 3 kids and 2 parents growing up in rural WV with no running water and an outhouse.
I was scared and proud at the same time when my mom told me the story, I haven't seen him in person yet to give him a hug. |

I wish people were more like him. Criminals need to get the message that not everyone will submit, some will fight back.
I probably would have held him down so he couldn't flee...
