Ohio Man Fights Off Robber!

Ohio man fought off robber.

While I worked my two jobs this week, I missed the local junk food media news. There's one story that went viral across the internet.

An 90-year old man fights off an armed robber at his laundromat in Dayton, Ohio. It turns out that owner George Hicks was knocked out once before. He decided to strap up.

It's been a local laundromat over at the east end.  It's been a part of this dying city. One of the very few local business still thriving in a city ripped by economic woes.

Again, it's best to let the local law enforcement deal with these situation. Why would you want to lose your life over a few dollars or a piece of electronic?

Again, what this man did was great, but given the possibility, the crook could have easily put an end to that man's life.

Hicks owned his laundromat in Dayton for decades. He's been robbed before. Hicks had enough and purchased him a gun license and was ready for anything.

A man wearing a hoodie entered a laundromat on Monday and held up a gun demanding money from the 90-year-old owner. What he most assuredly didn't expect was the old man to take out a gun of his own and chase him out.

George Hicks was robbed once before, in 2010, and so this time he was ready. He had his gun handy and spooked the robber into leaving the laundromat.

You gotta admit that he was bold to say at least. No one got hurt and this robber will probably think the next time about trying to rob the little guy.

His laundromat sits on East Fifth Street in Dayton, Ohio. That part of town is pretty run down and its one of the fewest areas in the city that has more locally owned businesses than the west end.
