The battered and bruised face of a burglar who got on the wrong side of a 72-year-old

A knife-wielding burglar had a shock when he attacked a pensioner in his home - and discovered his victim was a retired boxer.
Senior citizen Frank Corti, 72, a former junior boxing champion is still a bit handy with his dukes.
And when he spotted the aforementioned intruder, Gregory McCalium, in his hallway he sprang into action and delivered two right hooks.

Reluctant hero: Frank Corti, pictured here with his boxing trophies, is pleased with the sentence and has insisted that 'most people would have acted the same way'
Quote:Quote:
The blows were so powerful that McCalium, who had just lunged at Mr Corti with the knife, was left looking like he had been in 'a car accident'.
The pensioner then restrained him until police arrived. He was jailed for four and a half years yesterday after a judge told him he had 'got what he deserved.
After sentencing, Mr Corti said: 'I was scared when he first drew the knife but most people would have acted in the same way. If you can't defend what's yours, where are we at?'

Good man.
He gave that punk what he deserved.
Although to my mind 4 and a half years seems pretty damn lenient. I don't care if he was intoxicated or not.
He broke into another man's house wielding a knife, what was he there to do - have a tea party?

I'm surprised the PC brigade isn't trying to pull the old timer in jail.

When I grow old, I want to be this man.

I wish I could find a bar where old dudes like that hang out. Note the tat on his forearm and perpetual, but someone good-humored scowl. Inspiring.

Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.
