Authorities are praising a woman's quick thinking after she was attacked by an intruder.
The 52-year-old woman, named Carol, told police that a man was waiting for her in her garage when she got home on Tuesday.
"I said, 'What's going on? What do you need? What are you doing here?' He says, 'I have a gun, I want your purse and I mean it, I will shoot," Carol told WXIN.
Carol says she told that man that he could have her purse, but then he grabbed her and pinned her against a toolbox.
'So I grabbed a staple gun and smacked him on the side of the head. He went down to his knees,' Carol said. 'I loaded up with two more [staple guns] in my other hand and he started charging at me again and I said, 'I will crush your skull in if you touch me again."
At that point, she says the attacker left.
LOL
I prefer a snub nose .38, but that’s just me.
There is a place where everyone is equal, where the food and housing is free, everyone has free health care and only the police and guard have guns. It’s called prison and should be the liberals’ utopia.
When I was 38, in the hospital with a new baby, my roommate was 19 and her mother, the grandmother, was 38!! It can easily be done. I thot I maybe belonged in the geriatric-maternity ward.
One of my HS friends was 15 and her mom was 28.
Hillbillies.
It’s a thing.
:)
;D
In the late 60s I dated a 29 YO grandmother. She said she got pregnant just before she turned 13 and her daughter did the same. She was a grandmother at 26 YO.
Life is weird when you can’t take your own kid to an R rated movie.
:)
Some weirdo kept calling from a blocked phone number, threatening my 80-year-old mother and saying he was coming over to hurt her. My gentle mom finally replied with much bravado, “Come on over and I’ll blow your $h!t away!”. The calls stopped. You’d have to know her to realize how funny this was.
Hell’s Grannies? /Python
“’I loaded up with two more [staple guns] in my other hand...”
Jeez, how many staple guns do you need lady???
Where’s yer dogs?
Same here. 52 is a child to me.
They stay home.
I do, however, take a snake along, sometimes.
:)
LOL!
Good one.
Made the Daily Mail.
Tried to find the follow up on what got the cops there faster but couldn’t find the follow up story.
Tell 911 that you're about to kill your attacker and that he's the guy who runs the doughnut shop.
Someone seriously told me that you can get a faster response from the fire department so that if I was ever in that position he told me to say that burglar was burning down the house. Otherwise I could be raped and dead before the POPO showed up.
