He cracked her jaw and her face was covered in bruises.Can you believe this? I just caught the story on my local news. I did not hear where it happened, but saw the video of him punching her then hitting her more times, to get less than $80 from her purse. He left her sprawled on the floor. This is an example of pure evil. The woman was over 100 for crying out loud!*o* Did any one one else see it? Where did it happen? Can you believe it?

No, tammy...I didn't see it but hearing it is enough to make me sick. That's horrible. People do stupid things for money and hurt them without guilt nor conscience. I wouldn't hurt a fly if I can but a woman over 100 is too much. Did anyone or the police caught this insane lunatic?

I don't think they did catch him. I hope they do though, it is inexcusable IMO!

Thank you for the link. I could not view it but really did not want to see it again. It is good for some who may want to see it.

I saw that on CNN. They just kept showing it. What a sad person that was to do such a thing. He kept hitting her. I did not catch where it was. I was so upset that I finally turned the TV off when my husband left the room. What kind of person beats a defenseless little old lady.

It has effected me hard. I also watched as they showed it over and over. He just kept hitting her. I cried, and have been near tears all day for this woman. Here is a link to my local channels story on this: http://wrcbtv.com/news/index.cfm?sid=6847 It says she was on her way to church, but I think she was coming home from church and he was waiting on her in her building. He then attacked another elderly lady, saying he wanted to help her. There is no other word but sicko!

Hello, I saw it on the news and couldn't believe it. Funny thing was the 101year oldlady says"he's lucky he didn't do this 20 years ago. I would have killed him!" Spunky ole gal huh? If he had attacked her at 81 years old she said he would have been sorry. What a hoot she is! I sure hope that catch that rat! R

I was so sad when I saw that man hit the lady .How could he look at her and hit her and not think of his own mother or his grandmother and how he would feel if the same thing was done to them .Its like he has no feelings what so ever.

He must be such a coward to do this to someone 100 years old.If he doesn't feel guilty doing this to an elderly person ,then why would be spare the kids? I think he should spend a good number of years behind the bars so no one can ever dream of doing something this horrific.

That guy needs a serious but kicking, Come on the lady was 101 for god's sake. How much resistance could she really have given. I hope that when they catch this son of a female dog he experiences some prison justice if you get my drift.

That is incredible in the worst possible way. I didn't see it or hear about it until i saw your post. As bad as that is, the ones that are totally incomprehensible is when they don't stop at mugging. It is just too sick to contemplate.
