An 82-year-old Detroit man attacked a home invasion suspect with a hammer Sunday after the intruder refused to leave his property, MyFoxDetroit.com reported.

George Bradford told the station that he woke up to the screams of his daughter and granddaughter after someone broke into the home through a basement window.

Bradford "could hear him walking up the stairs" and said he went into his kitchen to fetch a hammer. When the intruder refused to leave, Bradford said he "let him have it."

"He asked me not to kill him," said Bradford. who hit the intruder once with the hammer.

Detroit police officers then arrived at the scene and say they found a man in his 30s in the front living room area with blood dripping from his head.

Does the heart good. Of course had it been cops that entered he would just be another statistic and the media would have bleated "82 year old man, suffering from dementia, refused to put down the hammer and was shot by police who feared for their lives. Department spokesperson Sgt. Harvey Headbanger said that "the officer feared for his life and appeared to have followed department policy." The officer was on paid administrative leave while the department investigates."

This is Detroit. 90% of murders go unsolved. In California, the 82 year old would have been listed as the Criminal, and the Invader as the Victim.

Always remember the Monopoly on Violence is why we DO NOT CALL COPS.
