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 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 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 the m, 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!

Well, good on 'er. Rapists get off so much more leniently, hell, I think burglaries can get more years than rape.

And the sad thing is, the punishment for rape is milder than it was 200 years ago. Napoleon executed rapists in the countries he conquered, and his army was very well behaved because of that.

I think that story is a bit outdated...I do remember reading something along the lines of that a while back..

But you go Granny

Sorry to burst the bubble, but that is an urban legend first spotted in 2000.

Still a great story, though.

Had a feeling about this being a urban legend. sounds quite unlikely, and she would have gotten in trouble.

Wolfehunter 12-20-08 11:21 PM

Thats my kind of granny. Good job grandma. Those two turds won't harm any woman again. :rock:

Did you find proof of that? It does sound a little far fetched, but its a good story.

I wish it were true though...

Nothing like that reported in any Australian news source in the last 12 months that I can find. I'd suggest Snopes is correct.

Great reading all the same :lol:

Lucky we never bumped into her in Houston TJ.....some of the antics you got up to :p

Sounds like a good script for "Deathwish....whatever the number is now". Picture Charles Bronson dressed up like a granny...:D
