I was totally picturing my 73 year old mother and her bridge buddies on their way to a restaurant, doing this--!
He wasn't in a church parking lot, was he?
You bettcha.
A month or so ago there was a group of older women leaving an Eastern Star meeting in Texas City, TX. A guy run up and grabbed one of the ladies purse and the rest of the ladies, got him down and held him until the police got there.
Never underestimate little old ladies, especially here in Texas because you never know which one is packing heat, and many of them do.
