Couple in their 90's attacked

[kent]

Yep, you read it right, they are both 90 years old!  The video will tug at your heart unless, of course, you don't have one.

I seldom post profanity on this board but, I'm REALLY tempted this time around.  A sweet elderly couple attacked by slime [followed by many descriptive expletives] is more than I can stand!

.....The visitors left, and only later did the couple realize that the man and woman had stolen a wallet, police said. The couple called their son, who had their credit cards canceled. But police weren't notified, De La Campa said.

About 5:20 p.m. Saturday, the man and the woman returned to the victims' home - with a potted plant as a gift - and again talked their way inside, where they attacked the couple, police said.

"I told them even while they were hurting me, 'Why do you do that? I've been nice to you,' " Paz Nagal, her face badly bruised, told reporters. "You didn't need do that, please stop hurting us. They just keep hurting us."

The woman punched Paz Nagal at least twice in the face, shoved her head against the wall, kicked her and tried to stab her in the jugular vein, she said. "She wanted to kill me, and the metal went into my ear - that's why I cannot hear you," she said.

Jaime Nagal was bound with duct tape and his wife was stabbed in the arm and....

Obviously there is a severe lacking of guns in this story........

OMG, Kent! I sure hope someone saw something that will help to get these monsters caught! Those poor people. Just trying to be kind and friendly and look what happens. I understand your need to curse. I've got it too!

Take the carp about guns to Politics, EVT1. It's not relevant here. There are plenty of other threads to rant about guns in.

That the elderly couple allowed the two low lifes into their home the following day after they knew the two probably stole the wallet the previous day concerns me. The elderly are often too trusting, be it to strangers at the door or scammers on the phone and Internet.

sorry, but i am not watching that video.  18 people die of starvation every minute.  they will never reach 90.

not that i have no sympathy.  i do.  it is sad when people die.  and i am sure the circumstances are gripping and tender.  but.....

I hope I retain the wariness to not open the locked door unless I'm expecting someone.

Concerns me also.  My mother is getting up there in years.  I don't think she'd be easily intimidated or convinced to let strangers in, but I do wonder sometimes.  More than likely, she'd beat them senseless with a ball bat.  Man...would I be angry if sometime victimized her in this manner.  Those poor people.

It's deplorable that someone would do this to anyone, let alone a couple in their 90's. Many are very trusting and welcome to having visitors.

To have this happen to them turns my stomach. I won't comment on what EVT1 or djAdvocate had to say.

Thank you!  Some people just can't help themselves I guess....
