War hero, 91, gives burglar a black eye for stealing his medals

When Michael MacKinnon decided to rob a 91-year-old man's home, he probably thought he was in line for easy pickings Unfortunately for him, his victim was a pull-no-punches retired judge who earned the nickname 'Hang 'em Hook' in his 30 years on the bench Rather than simply hand over his prized possessions, William Hook, a former prisoner of war, gave his attacker a black eye.

This is a feel good story that has brightened up my day, I’m surprised that the scum known as Michael MacKinnon wasent given a six figure sum in compensation from Gordon Brown and the brave aptly named `Mr Hook ` given a lengthy prison sentence for assault.
