Feel Good Story of the Day

From today’s edition of the Grand Rapids Press.

Bill Barnes didn’t have any luck playing a $2 lottery ticket last Friday at a service station in Comstock Park.

But he scored big-time against a man less than half his age who allegedly tried to steal $300 in cash from his pocket while he stood scratching his ticket.

Barnes, 72, pummeled the 27-year-old alleged thief with six or seven punches until a store manager moved in to assist.

And here’s a few words from a the witnesses.

“There was blood everywhere,” said another manager on duty, Abby Ostrom, 25. She and clerk Amanda Clark, 22, used bleach and water to wash off the door, stoop and outside pavement.

“The trash can tipped, there were coffee grounds flying—it was something to see, let me tell you,” Clark said.

Who said 72 was old?
