When Marvin Lail was confronted by a mugger while pumping gas at a 7-Eleven in Orlando, Florida the 79-year-old refused to cower in fear.
“He said, ’Give me your wallet, old man,’” Lail told the Orlando Sentinel. “The main thing going on in my mind is, ‘You aren’t going to get my wallet.’”
And he didn’t.
Lail, an Army veteran, fought back.
“He wasn’t getting my money, and he wasn’t getting my wallet and he had to kill me to get it,” Lail told ClickOrlando.com.
