With the economy failing the crime rate is going up. Criminals, robbers and other bad people are committing crimes against senior citizens because they think they are easy targets. Lol, that’s all about to change as my generation is starting to enter their 60′s. MOF they have already started. I’m 61 and at the leading edge of the baby boomers.
I feel sorry for criminals who think seniors are going to be easy pickings. Many of us carry guns and aren’t afraid to use them. Way to many of us served in Nam and aren’t afraid of violence. Many of us aren’t going to be pushed around because we know we can take care of ourselves.
I keep seeing ads for Clint Eastwoods new movie, which I haven’t seen, and I’m not surprised that an old man isn’t afraid of gangs. Nor am I surprised he’s not afraid to take the fight to them.
So I have a message for the criminals who might think older guys are going to be easy targets. Be prepared to die because us older people aren’t afraid to shoot and then ask questions later. If you aren’t prepared to die for the twenty bucks in my billfold then go find someone easier to rob cause if you come after me I’m going to kill you if I can.
I’m not going to play fair, there are no Marquis of Queensbury rules, lol, we learned that in Nam, and I’m going to hurt you before you have a chance to hurt me. Hell, we may even form vigilante groups and go after some of these punks to make our own neighborhoods safer.
Can you imagine that? Bald, fat, skinny, frail old men in gangs with guns going after young idiots that think seniors are easy prey. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that in the next 10 years a high percentage of killings are done by seniors protecting themselves from the various criminal elements that would prey on them.
Can you imagine a neighborhood watch composed of old men with nothing else to do but watch out the windows with their rifles and shotguns. What the young punks don’t know is we’ve already been through hell and made it so a few gang bangers aren’t much to fear. Not when you’ve been attacked by a few thousand NVA determined to kill you or die trying. We all fought them off and we sure as hell aren’t afraid of a few gang bangers or stupid punks.
We will protect what’s ours, we will protect our families, we will protect our neighbors and we really won’t mind if we have to kill a few people to have some peace. We will not live in fear or be victims. Criminals and robbers are going to find we aren’t afraid and we aren’t afraid to retaliate either.
Makes me wonder how laws are going to change in the future because as a voting block seniors will definitely be in control.
