Someone sent us a story<\/a> on Facebook about 75-year-old veteran and retired chess teacher, James Vernon who protected sixteen students from a knife-wielding 19-year-old Dustin Brown at the local public library in Morton, Illinois. <\/p>\n

Vernon, 75, won his \u201c90 seconds of combat\u201d with Brown, \u201cbut I felt like I lost the war,\u201d he chuckled. He cut two arteries and a tendon on Vernon\u2019s left hand as Vernon blocked Brown\u2019s knife swipe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI failed my mission to kill everyone,\u201d Brown told police, according to a prosecutor\u2019s court affidavit that accompanied formal charges Thursday that included attempted murder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Vernon’s first mission was to get the children out of the room with Brown blocking the only entrance. He distracted Brown until all of the kids escaped, then Vernon went after the thug. You should read the whole story.<\/p>\n
