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 calmly 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 cell mate 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 on 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 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 Mayor.”
DEPORT HER TO AMERICA – WE NEED HER!
Is that real? Link?
fake
The supposed news story reproduced above about a “Rambo Granny” taking the law into her own hands is a fanciful tale of imagined revenge and nothing more. It originated as a 20 October 1998 article published in the Weekly World News, an entertainment tabloid (now a web site) whose stock in trade is the fantastically fictional.
I THOUGHT it had the WWN smell to it. Besides, aren’t the Ozzies pretty much disarmed?
NO! There are now more (registered) guns and licenced shooters than ever before.
Trouble is, the Nazi Porkforce keep putting more and more restrictions on people.
Well, when “the state” won’t do their job, what do they expect? Too bad they didn’t meet their maker over their actions, because after they heal up and do a little time, that pair will be back on the streets to harm or kill someone. (As the number of incarcerations goes up, the level of violence goes up.)
I hope that old lady only gets probation, but they will probably lock her away for the rest of her life.
I do believe she is officially now a citizen of Texas.
Is there a crowd funding or a adopt a gramma?
shame she didn’t have a shotgun. but one thing I will say about the old girl.
she got more spine/backbone/ balls than most people today.
and she right about it too. they never will rape anyone else again.
one thing she might have done is also help the people there rethink their gun laws
and that would be a very good thing for them.
image the damn liberal clowns trying to bring her to court after this. they going to laugh at by most of the town/county/ country.
Forget mayor. Make her prime minister of Australia. They need the help and someone like her with a backbone.
Not easy to throw an 81 year old woman in the pokey huh? Ask the Germans for advice, they have been throwing 80 and 90 year olds in the slammer for years for simply denying the greatest Holocaust eva.
Regrettable this is a fable
If anyone touched our grandkids they would have the same fate.
What happens when people lose faith in the courts and society breaks down. I would expect to see more and more of this.
This story warmed my heart.
Best story I’ve read in weeks….
This is the way.
I do miss the World Weekly News. My favorite supermarket checkout tabloid. While the story may be fiction, it certainly touches a few salient points, don’t it?
My favorite all time WWN headline was “Woman feeds her husband birth control pill to stop him from cheating”. And the Ed Anger columns were great (many of them written by Kathy Shaidle) I have a collection of them in a book titled “Let’s Pave the Stupid Rainforests, and Give School Teachers Stun Guns!”
Cederq, you sure that you didn’t mistake Melbourne, Florida for Melbourne, Victoria? I’m already thinking a goodly percentage of your stories are a coffee-induced fiction.
