Last night my brother in California called and told me that dad's current wife of 7 years has tracked their phone number down and called them with the news that he has been in the hospital/rehab for the last 3 months. Seems when he was trying to board a city transit bus in Tarzana, a "homeless" person approaches him "telling" him to give him $20. When my dad refuses, the man starts beating him up breaking a couple of bones. When he falls as a result of this he also breaks his pelvic bone. Police is called, the man is arrested, and my dad gets taken to the hospital for a long stay and rehab to be able to walk again.

I'm pissed and cannot believe anyone who calls himself a human being can allow himself to do this to another who's that old. :mad:

Just sharing.

While the act is dispicable, and probably one of a man whose mental facilities are probably not working properly, I'm curious why you would be so pissed since it seems that you and your father have lacked any kind of relationship for a number of years?

Despicable act,but he probably told the hobo to give him a quarter because his IQ was 159.

Sorry about your pops, Frankie. But this one right here is pretty darn hilarious. But I hope your pops recovers and you two sit down over a bowl of pre-chewed cashews and work out your differences.
