Nashville liquor store owner May Boyce, an 88-year-old widow who stands 5-foot-3 and weighs 115 pounds, according to reports, got “fed up” of her store being robbed so she shot an alleged shoplifter.
She told police she grabbed her late mother Mary’s .38 Smith & Wesson snub-nose revolver and shot a suspect who was trying to steal alcohol last Tuesday, according to an affidavit obtained by McClatchy News Service.
“I did what I had to do, and I hope word gets out on the street that I’m fed up and I’m not taking it anymore,” she told The New York Post Saturday. “You’ve got to stick up for yourself sometimes.”
“I did what I had to do,” added Boyce, now out on $10,000 bond. “After you’ve been played for a fool by people stealin’ from you for years, you get fed up. And don’t put me in the category of a little old lady. I know how to take care of myself.”

People have lost confidence in the justice system. This is not good. Predictable but not good.

They are quickly losing confidence in the electoral system as well. And when that happens, Katy Bar the Door!

Wrong answer. Correct answer is she’s a little old lady who was afraid for her life. Nothing more.

All the ladies in my hand quilting group in TN are experts with weapons. Tennessee women are bad asses, and way cool.

Check out at least the beginning (after the Father’s Day intro) of this “Grand Finale”. . . this generation doesn’t have a clue. What is going on now was planned 100 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_kiCDI97-M

Too bad I’m not on her jury. “Not Guilty” is all I would need to say! Normally I’d not consider shoplifting a capital crime but it appears we are in real danger of losing respect for the law so crazy owners will have to do until that respect is restored.
