This is crazy:

Here's what happened:

An 82-year-old man was filling up his gas tank in Atlanta when a young perp jumped him, flashed a gun, and demanded his car.

"I thought he was going to shoot me," the man said. "As I put my gas nozzle back and was getting ready to get in the car, I turned around and he was there with a gun in his pants, and showed part of it. He just said 'Give it up' and I asked 'To give what up?' and he said 'You know what I'm talking about. Give me them keys.'"

The man used a moment when the low life was distracted to grab him and throw him to the ground.

"I saw he wasn't looking and I grabbed his arm with the gun in it and we started 'tussling' and we hit the ground."

The stones on this guy!

The perp was able to fight off the man and managed to regain control of his weapon, then ran to the man's car to steal it.

Except it didn't start.

The young dumb dumb was forced to flee on foot after nearly being whooped by an elderly man. Serves him right.

Kuddos to this man for teaching a criminal to think twice before assuming someone is an easy mark.
