oh, please! Mr. Thompson is THE nicest man, Father, friend, citizen I know! He was mugged at least a dozen times in that “THUG” nieghborhood!! We have to stick up for ourselves when even the police don’t show their presence in THAT neighborhood!!! He stood up for his own protection, and at his age it is not easy to do. They tormented, stalked, and threatened him REGULARLY!!!
