A blind veteran was forced to defend himself after being attacked in broad daylight.
Fifty-one-year-old Gordon Besaw has glaucoma. He and his seeing eye dog, Derby, were headed to the VA Medical Center for treatment Tuesday when police say he was attacked by 27-year-old Christopher Andrew.
"He asked me, 'Are you blind?' I said yes," said Besaw. "He said, 'I can make you see before you see God'."
Police say Andrew punched the retired U.S. Army Special Forces soldier in the head.
"He said, 'I can make you see again' and he punched me in the head again," Besaw said. "I'm like, 'Man, you're not going to like the way this is going to go.'"

The attacker had to be one of Holder’s people. Good thing the Vet had restraint and didn’t let the rest of his training kick in. Good on the Vet.
Still one of Holder’s people (OWS).
I thought he was white.
Great story....
This should be classified as a hate crime.
The perp is a yellow chicken livered no good pond scum. What a suprise he got when his intended victim turned out to be excellent at self defense.
Serves him right. Karma bites.
Yes, that is cool but my inclination would be to tell the german shepherd to eat, not stay.
ah - theres’ s photo of the perp in the video -
Loved this story. Thanks.
