    This is so awful! How could anyone live with themselves knowing that they took advantage of and beat an old man? This old man did nothing to deserve this kind of treatment.

      Aw. This is really depressing. It's sad to know that there are actually people in our country that will do something like this. Everyone knows that a 100 year old man can do very little to protect himself and that makes this robber a sick man. Some people just need help.

        Thank God he is alright. I can't even begin to imagine what would lead someone to attack a fragile old man like that. If you are so in need of money surely there are better ways than sending an elderly man to the hospital.

            I am truly repusled by this article. Just imagining something like this happening is enough to make me want to cry.

              That is really appalling, I don't understand how some one could do a thing like that to such an elderly person.
