Being old doesn't mean lacking nerve. It means having even more nerve since old shits are far less able to defend themselves. Punks didn't do shit like this when he was their age; be damned if they are going to do it now so long as he's around.

When you're old and want to go out with a bang just go around being a super hero like this old dude. My favourite story was when some young idiot who broke into some old guys home and brandished a knife at him and his wife, who then got his ass whooped by the grandpa who turned out to be an ex-heavyweight boxer, karma.
