Lend a Hand…or Else!
CJ June 17th, 2007
Always remember to loan an old man money if he asks- especially if it’s Richard Johnson of Davenport Iowa!
Apparantly, Mr. Johnson asked his 81 year old neighbor for a loan so he could go and gamble and she refused - since she had already loaned him some money previously. He didn’t take kindly to that response and promptly beat her with a hammer!
The maintenance supervisor, Fuller, heard the commotion and calmed down the elderly man and called the police. Fuller said that as they waited for help, Johnson told him: “I’m old. What are they going to do, lock me up?”
The neighbor was treated for injuries and released.
I don’t know about you, but if an old man from a mental home asks me for money, I am going to run!
