GET SOME, OLDER DUDE!!!

He was all over that punk. See? Us older dudes can still tap into the OMS (Old Man Strength). My only critique is that he should've hit him a lot harder with the chair...then he wouldn't have had to wrestle him. Hit him like your trying to kill him. Saves time and energy.

Suspect in Starbucks Armed Robbery Plans to Sue Good Samaritan

Back in July, Fresno Police say 30-year old Ryan Flores used a gun and tried to rob the Starbucks near Herndon Avenue and Highway 99. 58-year old Cregg Jerri stepped in to stop the crime, and the two got into a fight. Both men were hurt, but the Flores family said their son plans on suing Jerri for excessive force.

Flores remains in jail, and faces a felony attempted robbery charge. His mother, Pamela Chimienti, said the family does not condone what he allegedly did, but she said Flores should not have been attacked back the way he was.

The surveillance video went viral. In the video, you can see Jerry enjoying his drink at Starbucks. Suddenly, a man wearing a Transformers mask pulls out a gun, a knife, and a bag, and demands money from the barista. Investigators have identify the suspect as Flores. In the video, Jerri is seen hitting Flores with a chair, and a violent fight ensues.Investigators said Jerri was stabbed in the neck during the struggle, but managed to wrestle away the knife and stab Flores several times.

Chief Jerry Dyer calls Jerri a hero. But Chimienti said her son is a victim too.

There is no excessive force claim....

Some people simply shouldn't be able to speak. Her poor thieving son got hurt while breaking the law.

It's embarrassing that this even makes the news.....

Yes, yes... This is all very interesting. But I read the article and after washing down a couple blue pills with a macchiato, I'd hit both of he-man's daughters like the proverbial barn door in a hurricane (in Virginia, no less), I mean did you look at them?

Idiot woman needs to look up the word condone. They've already condoned it. Suing the guy who stopped him adds insult to injury and makes her an accessory in my book. She's looking to continue the harm done.

That video reminds me of what the old guys are doing to the young guys in this year's mod election.

Yeah, well, it's real easy when you all apparently voted for each other 6 times.

Everyone at Starbucks that day should counter-sue and add the old lady in for good measures.

I like the way you think....

That's usually how I react when the barista fucks up my macchiato.

Apparently you don't understand how this works. I voted for myself six times.

Apparently the perp is suing because he got stabbed 17 times...
