So if these guys turned on her and beat her senseless, it'd be alright because she "had a go"?
Don't get me wrong the outcome was good, but she obviously has no common sense to approach six guys with sledgehammers who are smashing windows and robbing the place. I'm not giving the thumbs up to the people who were just walking by, but there is no need to be a hero in situations like this. Call the police, record as much info about the people taking out the robbery as possible and give it to the police I say. |

Plus, she was probably thinking that she's had a good innings, she may as well go out with a bang.

Plus granted that they looked to be the pussy type of criminals as they basically fled once she started swinging that handbag around.

Hopefully before leaving us she can inspire others and impart her knowledge of how to stand up for ones' self and not be a pussy in life.
Others should have gone in to defend the 70 year old from these so called men. As for the nancy boys that did this, you can tweet from your cells. #Im so :-(

I think she has her tea with cream, sugar and a teaspoon of concrete every day

it may well have been a different story say if a 25 year old male tried intervening...
pretty easy to bluster up to another guy, but when a 112 year old granny starts swinging what are you gonna do? cant crack her, thats like kicking a puppy. bet these guys get honed out inside too... |

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Its an old saying but its very true. Good on her for not doing "nothing". Our society would probably be a lot better place if doing "nothing" wasn't the first instinct for most people. Is it just me or did the driver of the white Ford Transit Van actually try to knock one of the scooters over? He returned with his van to the scene to help as well. The reason these guys where arrested so quick would have been because of the one they managed to detain. Well done to those that did something!!!

The blokes could have freaked her out by yelling, 'BINGO!'
Sometimes the best COA is to call the cops. They won't do anything and the courts will allow these guys to be out on the streets with a good behaviour bond
