Heroes of the Day, Hooah!

Posted by Hazel Stone | Filed under Heroes

Today’s heroes are a courtroom full of folks who weren’t really in the mood for a throat-slashin’:

A female federal prosecutor was viciously attacked by a hulking, razor-wielding drug dealer in a Brooklyn courtroom yesterday – and was saved when the thug’s 72-year-old lawyer and others tackled him.

Now that is what I’m talkin’ about! Numbers beat brawn EVERY TIME, people. Of course, it helps when a couple of those numbers are ex-soldiers:

“Why don’t you try me instead of her?” stenographer Ron Tolkin shouted at the cowardly criminal as he leaped on Wright, before the group fell to the ground in a heap.

Both the elderly lawyer and Tolkin, 60, are former military men who served in Vietnam.

If I may transform into a 17 year old skate punk just for a moment here… Dude! 60 year old man just totally DISSED you. You better hope your new roommates don’t read the paper, homes!
