Stranger than fiction ! They won't do that again !

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.

Anyone on here from there ?

oh man...talkin about someguys worst night mare. None the less, by a courteous young 81year old lady. Im not sure if i would exactly be "glad to be alive" knowing the twigs and berries are snapped and squashed...ya know...I also agree with the ppl on letter the granny go and giving her a metal. Guys that do that should have their balls blown off, women should be treated with all respect and dignity.

To good to be true, look here:Snopes

Ok then, thanks for the update, that is why I titled it " Stranger than fiction" and asked this question:
"Anyone on here from there" ?
It did sound nearly impossible to me...................for an old lady of that age to have such perfect aim ! heh heh

well they do say, practice does make perfect...but what a HARSH thing to practice eh?

Hi Propig, I meant no 'gender bias' when I made the 'old lady' statement, had it been an 'old man' I would still have made the statement except with 'old man' , heh heh.

But then on the other hand, we both know that here in FL old folk that age still drive and pass their drivers test, and I am not against that either.

Sure hope I'm around in 60 years when Propig start cappin rounds at Jinx
