Subject: Gun-totin' Granny
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
######## will never rape anybody again, by God.'
Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his ----- 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 -----, 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 ######## 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.
