Granny beats purse snatcher

[DesertFox]

An 83-year-old great-grandmother thwarted a would-be purse snatcher with a gas nozzle and an iron grip.

Bernie Garcia said a young man approached her at a gas station as she was buying fuel for her van and asked for money. When she told him she had spent all her spare change on gas, he tried to grab her purse.

"But I had it wrapped around my wrist twice," Garcia said, and he was unable to pull it away.

She fought back, spraying his shirt with some gasoline. Both of them kept hold of the purse, and he pulled her to the ground and dragged her a short distance until another man confronted him.

Oh, for a match of fire
that would ascend to heaven
with great conflagration

Funny how old grannies like that can have that "iron grip." My gramma was like that in her late years, progressively failing in every way but that grip.

Granny's got mad skill. If she were shot and lived through it, she could've became a rapper.

I only wish that granny's other hand had been able to grip and throw a Bic lighter. She would be invited to personally set the Darwin Award on the satchel-snatcher's tombstone.

I've got one thing to say to this- GO GRANNY!

We need to hook her up with the old Marine who thumped the robber. Crime wouldn't stand a chance!!
