Omgosh! I hope he has a quick recovery. Some people are truly sick!
wth is wrong with people!!!!!
Hope they catch the scumbags….
You pieces of dog **** they should stab you 18 times and put you in a room with rats and let them eat you alive
Unbelievable.Never ends. WTF
It almost sounds like they knew him and that he had money stashed. What a shame. Hope he recovers.
I agree. One of these punks knew he had money in his home and they stabbed him until he gave it up.
There is no room in the jails. we should have a tent prison grounds on Bondi’s Island with 20 foot fences all around . No perks. Just sit there and do your time. after school programs obviously do not work. Same as the punks who commit these crimes.
Those rotten litle b*stards.I hope they hang ‘em.
Hopefully they left dna or evidence
Thats bull****!!they will get whats comein 2 them!!
Insane!
WTF!! He’s 73 years old… People are crazy!! I hope they catch the ********!!!
There is no excuse for this. I hope whoever did this is caught and does life. My brother went to jail almost 20 yrs ago for the same thing and he will never see the outside again. Cowards attack the elderly!
This may have been someone close to this elderly man and due to the injuries sustained they may find whoever did this, I hope to hear soon of those who committed this crime. Stabbed 18 times should also be held with attempted murder.
This is just crazy! What in the hell is wrong with ppl in this city? To attack an elderly man is just plain idiotic. I hope he pulls through.
Elderly man stabbed 18times would b a Miracle from God if this poor man makes it these sick fcks should still b put away for life and yes it sure sounds like someone who knew he had alot of money there it’s nit a coincedence that’s for sure!!
OMG! What the hell is going wrong with people? Poor man! Hope he recovers with no permanent damage, or ill effects from this! Catch those scumbags! And hope the stupid Justice System works!
To bad the old man didn’t have a gun to shoot the Mother-f@&$?#. I’d rather he shot the SOB and got rid of the douche bag to better society. But this is the problem many people face . The question of guns has always been for one of these reasons. TO DEFEND YOURSELF . This could’ve been anyone physically inferior to their attacker at any age and any ***. And many say let the cops protect you it’s their job . Let’s cut the **** here illogical liberal thinkers, cops can not be there all the time and almost all times they show up after the crime has happened.

The unidentified elderly man was also an active member of the NRA and was fully trained in the use of a firearm. When the unidentified man was asked why he shot the thieves 18 times each, he replied “I ran out of ammo”.
The elderly man stated that due to the number of violent crimes and home invasions commited by thieves with illegal weapons and knives, it was his belief that every citizen should have the right to arm and protect themselves as he did. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE….. PLEASE DON’T GET MAD, IT’S JUST MY OPINION.
Hope they catch these losers! Screw putting them in jail, bring back the death penalty! Unreal.
That’s f’d up. What’s wrong with people-!!???!
