Donald Sacco was on his way to play bingo last week when he was attacked in Florida. Sacco, 64, was at an Orlando bus stop when a man approached him and tried to steal his bag. The suspect, Thomas Thorpe, stabbed Sacco several times.
Jeffery Hopkins was in a nearby car, and when he saw the attack, he jumped out to intervene. He told WFTV that he was in the right place at the right time, and that he initially thought Thorpe was punching Sacco. Then Hopkins saw the knife:
“As I was getting out, I noticed the guy had a knife in his hand so I went for my gun and took him down,” Hopkins said. “He looked at me very scared. Then realized I was serious and dropped the knife and laid down immediately.”
Hopkins held Thorpe at gunpoint until police arrived on the scene. Former paramedic Josh Juliano pulled over and treated Sacco.
WFTV interviewed Hopkins, who did not show his face on camera. He said he doesn’t want attention and just wanted to help:
“If it was my father or anybody like that out there getting attacked, people need to get involved,” Hopkins said.

Great story about an armed citizen who rescued an elderly man who was being robbed and stabbed with a knife. It made the local news, but went no further. The mainstream propaganda media will never report stories like this because it would destroy the myth that guns are bad. Stories like this are buried all over this country, every day.
