GO, GRANDPA, GO, GRANDPA,
GO, GRANDPA, GO!

According to a Tacoma, Wash., TV station, an 84-year-old man fended off two would-be carjackers by kicking one in the groin and the other in the stomach.

Ted Mazetier said he stopped one night last week to help two men with a disabled car when one punched him in the face and demanded his keys. He responded with self-defense, and the two men fled as a passer-by stopped to help.

Police arrested two suspects for investigation of assault.

Mazetier, who suffered a black eye in the incident, said he'll think twice before stopping again to help someone on the street.

I bet he still will. Now he's both older AND wiser . . . and unlike his assailants, he still knows right from wrong.
