Rambo Granny

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81,was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down and shot off their testicles. The old lady spent a week hunting those men down -- and when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way,- said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp. Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant's desk and told him as calm as could be: "Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God."

Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and his testicles when outraged Ava opened fire with a 9-mm pistol in the hotel room where he and former prison cellmate Stanley Thomas, 29, were holed up. The wrinkled avenger also blew Thomas' testicles to kingdom come, but doctors managed to save his mangled penis, police said. The one guy, Thomas, didn't lose his manhood, but the doctor I talked to said he won't be using it the way he used to, Detective Delp told reporters. Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they're just happy to be alive after what they've been through.

The Rambo Granny swung into action June 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was carjacked and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding creeps in a section of town bordering on skid row. "When I saw the look on my Debbie's face that night in the hospital, I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself cause I figured the Law would go easy on them," recalled the retired library worker. "And I wasn't scared of them, either because I've got me a gun and I've been shootin' all my life. And I wasn't dumb enough to turn it in when the law changed about owning one.

So, using a police artist's sketch of the suspects and Debbie's description of the sickos, tough-as-nails Ava spent seven days prowling the wino-infested neighborhood where the crime took place till she spotted the ill-fated rapists entering their flophouse hotel. "I know it was them the minute I saw 'em, but I shot a picture of 'em anyway and took it back to Debbie and she said sure as hell, it was them", the oldster recalled.

So I went back to that hotel and found their room and knocked on the door and the minute the big one, Furth, opened the door, I shot 'em right square between the legs, right where it would really hurt 'em most, you know. Then I went in and shot the other one as he backed up pleading to me to spare him. Then I went down to the police station and turned myself in.

Now, baffled lawmen are trying to figure out exactly how to deal with the vigilante granny. What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it is difficult to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison. Det. Delp said, especially when 3 million people in the city want to nominate her for sainthood and a medal.

HA! Yeah, especially when those 3 million people get screaming drunk and lay siege to the jailhouse, Road Warrior style.

The Aussie liberals will just figure out a way to try, convict and imprison the gun itself, and depict granny as just another victim of its awesome and terrible power.

Snopes.com suggests its an urban legend.

If I recall correctly, it was born at Weekly World News.

using a police artist's sketch ... "I know it was them the minute I saw 'em,

This gives it away. Who could be that sure from a stupid police sketch.

Actually, in real life, Granny found the two at a Kentucky Fried Chicken, eating a bucket of deep-fried rat.

I went to their web site and confirmed another item I thought was an urban legend. I'm sure most of you have received and read the Christmas story written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa. As a former Marine myself, I knew that a poem written about a Marine would not refer to a Marine as a soldier. To call a Marine a soldier is considered vulgar and insulting and is a fast way to start a fight. It appears that the original version was written by a Marine (not stationed in Okinawa, though) and it was Marine specific in terminology, but later incantations were reworded to use the term "soldier". And now you know the rest of the story.

What she did was NOT wrong, especially given the care she took to make sure the perps were guilty.

Never give up your guns. Never, never, never, never.

Yes, once again we've all been "snoped" (see below). This is yet another case where snopes.com puts its liberal spin on what would otherwise be a good factual contribution to Internet users.

In this particular case, yes, there are a good number of police in this country who would admire what the fictitious Granny did. They just wouldn't tell snopes.com!

" But really, could anyone honestly swallow a tale of vigilante justice in which the police spokesman is characterized as "admiring" of someone who turned a firearm on two others? As righteous as a cause might be, the moment a crime victim or one of her sympathizers takes matters into her own hands, that person becomes a criminal engaged in illegal activity. "

Damn... Is this STILL floating around? This was debunked more than a year ago as an urban legend.
