Do NOT Try to Pick This Guy's Pocket

Bill Barnes, a former marine from Comstock Park, MI taught a would-be pickpocket a lesson
says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when he felt a hand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash.

He immediately grabbed the person's wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened.
Barnes, in addition to being a former Marine, was also a Golden Gloves champion and a retired steelworker.

Wrong target indeed.
