Rambo Granny of Melbourne

When my cousin, a lifelong educator, heard I was running for public office, he sent me this true story because he it reminded him of something I might do, given my stance against sexual predators, gun control and abortion.

I don't think I'm the only woman on this thread that these guys would have to worry about. We may disagree on aborting a baby resulting from this heinous crime, but I seriously doubt any woman on this board would want “Rambo Granny” jailed for what she did.

How about it kolanuraven? HMW? Heck, I wouldn’t even be surprised to hear that R2 had “disarmed” the rapists.

The Rambo Granny of 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 August 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 knew 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.

DEPORT HER TO AMERICA -- WE NEED HER!!!

Well, dang! Wouldn't you know a story this good had to be made up? It's still a great idea though. And I do know a couple old girls that would do exactly what this fictional granny did.

I'd be willing to bet you know one or two like her as well...

Yeah, like maybe my own mother. Mom and Dad used to run a general store from the '40's to the early '70's. As a little kid, I used to explore every corner of the place and one day I found this seemingly huge wooden club shaped like a pestel under the counter by the "cash register", or "till" as it was known. (The "till" was nothing more than a wooden drawer with dividers for the paper money and little bowls hollowed out of a wooden slide for the coins, and could easily have been reached from the customer side of the counter.)

My curiousity drove me to seek out Mom and ask her what that thing, the club, was for. I will never forget the look in her eyes as we walked over to that "check out". She reached under the counter, lifted the club out and spoke in a suddenly quiet, hoarse voice that almost made my blood run cold.

She said, "If anybody ever comes in here and tries any rough stuff, I'll give them this," and raised the club in a threatening manner. I am telling you, you never saw a little woman like my mother get so instantly tall and powerful. God help the poor soul that might have actually tried any "rough stuff". Thank goodness, she never had to put the thing to use; I think the fallout would have been horrific!

For the gentle, big-hearted woman and mother that she was, she had a side that you did not want to run afoul of. And they wonder where I get my temper! :)

God rest her soul.

It doesn't matter whether the Rambo Granny story is true or not. The thing is that people like to hear of someone coming down on S O Bs that don't belong in a civilized society.
I imagine there are a lot of grandmas who would do just that, if they could, after a granddaughter being raped.
Maybe we are too civilized. People who would commit such a crime as rape need to be tortured first and then have their privates shot off.
