A grandmother stopped a would-be Christmas week jewelry robbery by shoving the perpetrator out the door of the store. The suspect attempted to shove his way through as the employees entered to prepare the Galleria-area shop. Judy Memmel, a grandmother of five, and her fellow employees opened the security gate of Houston Jewelry and unlocked the door as they prepared for a busy Christmas shopping day on December 18, Click2Houston reported. As she started into the store, a man approached wearing a suit, dark glasses, and a watch cap. The video below shows how Memmel stopped the suspected armed robber from entering the store.

Contrast this real woman with sub IQ snowflakes currently enrolled (in worthless courses) at your local liberal university.

Great but damn dangerous!!!

That Kwanzaa celebrant had a damn gun and could have turned it on her in a moment. Nothing in that shop is worth her and maybe other employees’) lives!

I love it. It looked so damned natural. I would guess she said,”Sorry, we’re not open yet,” as she shoved the fellow out the door.

I don’t think she even saw the gun before she evicted the guy. He was pulling it out of his pocket even as her hands were up for the push. He didn’t belong there. She put him in his place.

If more of us stood up to those aholes, maybe there wouldn’t be so many of them.

Texas women take the cake.

Per the article..(don’t you just love her attitude.)

“When he came up to the door and I looked at him, I said, ‘We’re not open,’” the 20-year Houston Jewelry employee said. After he pulled a gun and fired three shots into the store, “I shoved him and said, ‘No! You’re not coming in!’”

This is not the first time Memmel has faced an armed robber. She said a different set of circumstances 20 years earlier prompted a different response. During that incident, Memmel, her fellow employees, and nine customers were taken hostage the Houston Chronicle reported. At that time, she fully complied with the robbers’ instructions.

She also stood up to burglars in the living room of her home. The thieves were attempting to take her silver, fur coats, and jewelry. She chased them out of her house and kept her stuff, the Houston newspaper reported.

Grandma we of the Rat Bastard Clan have taken a vote and it was 100% in favor of giving you honorary Rat Bastard Status.

Thank you for YOUR service, and a MERRY CHRISTMAS from a 17 year Veteran U.S. Rangers.

I agree her gumption was great — it could have gone sideways quickly.

But a happy ending so that is what is important.

Could those store employees have moved any slower?

Just Damn. They were slow as molasses, so it’s a good thing that guy was a complete amateur.
