Florida man beaten by truck owner after attempted carjacking: ‘Play stupid games…win stupid prizes’
Blake Robinson, 29, was charged with felony battery of a person over the age of 65 and attempted burglary
By Landon Mion
A Florida man took a beating after he attempted to break into a truck, which resulted in him making a hospital visit for the injuries he sustained from “getting his butt whipped” by a 66-year-old man, according to deputies.The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said the 66-year-old man called 911 early Thursday morning to report a noise outside his home. The man went outside to see what was happening and found 29-year-old Blake Robinson attempting to break into his truck, authorities said.
The 66-year-old man went back inside to grab his phone and report the incident to law enforcement but could not locate his phone. When he returned outside to confront Robinson, he was reportedly attacked, with the suspect punching the victim in the head, throwing him to the ground and kicking him in the head.
The older man managed to defend himself and hit the suspect, causing the younger intruder to fall back, so he could get away and contact law enforcement.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they detained Robinson, who appeared to have trouble standing up after receiving the beating from the 66-year-old man.

I saw a booking photo of the perp.
He wasn’t beat near enough.
But I’m sure he’ll enjoy the tender mercies of his fellow prisoners as his street cred falls into the sewer.
I wonder if Ruger stole the old Ma Bell slogan, “Reach out and touch someone”?
Not sure if Ruger stole it, Tox, but the Old Gentleman in the FGS surely did. This is a prime example of why one must keep oneself armed at all times. Mr. Paine called it, didn’t he.
Too bad Ruger doesn’t offer a variety of calibers. Oh…wait “…is built sans iron sights…” Iron sights…the stick shift for weapons.
IIRC from the linkie (not gonna go back and re-read it) so far Ruger is offering in two calibers, one being 308. Variety enough? With more to come?
They offer a lot more than just two calibers. We started getting the Gen 2s in earlier this year and I’ve seen .204 Ruger, .243 Winchester, 5.56, 7.62×39, 6.5 Creedmoor, .350 Legend, and 7mm-08, among others: Ruger® Ruger American® Rifle Generation II Standard Bolt-Action Rifle Models
