Jim DeMarce says he'll be filing a police report.
Four “cowards” who attacked an 82-year-old man who happens to be the long-time president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 40 and a proud military veteran, remain free and have not been charged following a disgusting act on Main Street just outside the main branch of the Penticton Public Library late Friday.
“Then they knocked me off my scooter and they gang tackled me.” As of late Sunday afternoon, DeMarce was sporting a large, quarter-sized purple bruise just over his right eye. DeMarce said he didn’t recognize any of the four men who attacked him. The one lead he has is a red broom that was sticking out of one of the shopping carts.
If a judge was assaulted like he at his tender years, “I have no doubt whatsoever, they would be going to jail for a very long time. It’s a hell of a thing to say, but that’s honestly how I feel.”
