Wheelchair-Bound Vet Would Not Be A Victim

"In one corner an aggressive panhandler. In the other a disabled, wheelchair-bound Vietnam veteran who turned out not to be the underdog. When the two met up five days ago in northeast Albuquerque, N.M., the attacker became the attacked.

"Gary Gould said the attempted mugging had him fighting for his life reminding him of what it was like fighting for his life in Vietnam. "I can't walk; I'm paralyzed," he told KRQE News 13 today. "I got blown up in Vietnam. I've been in a chair for 38 years."
