One of the greats of all-time makes the news in LA!
 
A 90-year-old employee at Santa Anita saved a 9-year-old girl from a runaway horse ...

More importantly...

An able-bodied posting legend was "5-to-10 feet away" in his own words - he made no effort to save the little girl of course ... but he sure did jump in front of the news camera and turn on the charm.

This is awful. Not sure what the purpose of this photo is, or was but someday the police will be showing it door to door is my guess.

Sightseek 04-05-2011 03:24 PM

I just threw up.


A LOT.

Arletta 04-05-2011 03:24 PM

Is that a big Screen on his wall?

I was wondering about that also. I figured a dude like that would have a giant mirror over his bed.. but it doesnt look like a mirror. Maybe drugS can find out.

Sightseek 04-05-2011 03:48 PM

Isn't it sun shining through a window and highlighting the opposite wall?
