SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CBS13) - A 72-year-old man was walking to his home when he was confronted by four male suspects and beaten in north Sacramento, all for the $15 he had in his wallet.
The victim, Robert Norris, described a brutal beat down, all for a few bucks.
They used their fists, he said. One of them kicked me.
It happened off Del Paso Boulevard and Forrest Street. Norris was feeling outnumbered Sunday around sunset.
They helped themselves to my wallet, he said. I wouldnt give it to them. Four of them and one of me, so I figured I didnt have much of a chance.
They made out with $15 and his ID, leaving him banged up and bloodied, his ear split.

“Yeah, should move to a state where these things dont happen.”
I’m currently considering moving to a county in a state just above the Mason-Dixon line that is 96% Euro, 2% Hispanic, and 1% Asian. Do the math...
The state I happen to be sojourning in right now is like that. Pretty much everyone carries a gun; the police chief thinks it is irresponsible not to. Over the last six months the weekly police blotter column in the local paper has typically featured major crimes like: Minor in possession of alcohol, jacklighting deer, fishing without proper license, and the biggie - lockers broken into in the high school gym.
The police have put out an APB for 4 males. So keep an eye out for 4 males.
I could not find the article but i wonder if the men who done it were just some hard working conservatives doing it for a laugh or was it some liberal peace loving socialists who believed the old guy owed them something? i will bet on the latter.
