Brave 84-Year-Old Defends Himself During Attempted Robbery with Pair of Jeans

A brave 84-year-old man defended himself during an attempted robbery with a pair of jeans. The elderly gentleman refused to let the criminal do anything to or take anything from him. Watch the amazing clip as the man battled against someone looking to harm him.

Sin has utterly destroyed anything and everything it contacts. Nothing is ever made better after encountering sin; things, including our world, only worsen. As a result, we live in a lost and broken world where the impact and influence of sin are, unfortunately, easily visible all around us.

One of the places where sin is most evident is on the news, where crime, death and destruction are documented daily. Flip to any television news broadcast, and within minutes, you’re bound to see a story where a horrible crime was perpetrated against innocent bystanders. Those people just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one older adult came face-to-face with a criminal, someone attempting to rob him or possibly planning to do worse. However, instead of becoming a victim, the man fought back, using the only thing in his possession at the time, a pair of jeans, to ward off the attacker.

The situation, which appears to take place in a laundry mat, begins with the man trying to fold his clothes. Moments into the clip, a young man dressed in black from head to toe rushes into the establishment and quickly approaches the elderly gentleman.

The criminal lunges at and reaches for the man’s back pocket, likely hoping to find a wallet full of cash. But the 84-year-old was not having it. He immediately turned around and started fighting back, and even landed a few punches to the criminal’s face while holding a pair of jeans.

The criminal momentarily leaves but then returns and again approaches the older man. The criminal in black clothing demands his wallet, but his evil efforts are thwarted as his targeted victim refuses to comply.

Romans 12:21 “Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.”
