Green DNA Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 24-year-old burglar Gregory McCalium beaten by 'victim' - 72-year-old retired boxer DAILY NEWS STAFF Updated Tuesday, June 30th 2009, 12:53 AM Thames Valley Police Gregory McCalium got more than he bargained for when he broke into retired boxer Frank Corti's home last August. He should have picked on someone his own age. Gregory McCalium, 24, was left with severe facial wounds after the knife-wielding thug attempted to rob his elderly neighbor in tBotley near Oxford, England, Britain's SkyNews reported. The would-be burglar broke into the home of Frank Corti last Aug. 19 - without realizing the 72-year-old was a retired boxer. A mug shot released by the Thames Valley Police reveals the results after Corti disarmed his attacker, let loose with two punches to the face and restrained McCalium until the police arrived on the scene. On Tuesday, McCalium was sentenced to a 4 1/2-year sentence for the crime. "'I was scared when he first threw the knife, but most people would have acted in the same way," Corti told London's Daily Mail. "If you can't defend what's yours, where are we at?" Corti, a veteran of the British armed forces, was at home with his wife during the mid-morning attack, according to testimony in the case. McCalium, a bartender, may have held a grudge over a noise complaint lodged by the Cortis earlier that morning, the Daily Mail reported. "The jury might well have concluded you got what you deserved," prosecutor Angela Morris said to McCalium during sentencing, according to the Daily Mail.

J/K True, the ACLU would probably not be interested because the burgular was not a poor minority or a terrorist, but still they like to jump in every now and then just to stick it to a good guy (the old guy).

Panzer Division Marduk Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I love it. Of course, if this happened in America, the ACLU would have the old guy brought up on charges. I'm surprised the Brit cops didn't jail the old guy instead of the burglar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
