I am lost for words

If the money was in a bank, he'd have suffered anyway, but for nothing.

Awful.

It is disgusting, hopefully justice is done.

justice in this instance would be more than what the law could do

How did the scumbags know he had the money in the house anyway??????????
I wonder if it's someone who knows the poor chap.
I'd love to send round a couple of friends of mine who are ex SF when they get the tts.

I am in no way making excuses, but old people do bruise very easily, so the mans injuries, while horrible, are probably much worse because of his age.

Have you considered a glittering career as a criminal barrister?

I lost my aunt and uncle within a year of each other, about 15 years ago.
They were both rational people, of sound mind etc.
A month or so after my aunt died, my uncle was turning the mattress, and found 9k hidden underneath it.
No idea why it was there.
I suspect that this is more common than people realise.

My Dad was a clever, intelligent man.
Kept his money in the bank etc., but when he passed away 5 years go, his hiding money skills were discovered.
He would put 1k into envelopes and slip them inside books, under his veggie draw bottom liner, taped up under draws.
We found quite a few thousand when emptying his house and had to check everything.

I have said that I'm not making any excuses for what was done to the old man, but the media does like a good picture and because old people damage very easily the picture may make it look like he was the victim of a sustained, violent attack when in reality he probably didn't put up much of a fight and may have just been pushed to the floor. Again, I'm not making excuses. My grandmother fell over when she was in her late 80's/early 90's and looked like she had been mugged.

To reiterate, I am not making excuses for the person that did this, but am trying to put some balance to the emotive picture.
