Yes, folks, even the elderly can kick ass when it's needed (http://home.peoplepc.com/psp/newsstory.asp?cat=TopStories&referrer=welcome&id=20080314/47da0650_3421_13345200803141523002959). :cool:

Although, I can't help but wonder. Suppose this would-be thief had worked for the IRS. Would the media still portray her as a hero?

As much as one part of me is saying "good for her," the other part can't help but think that if she'd been hurt, we'd probably be saying "a purse isn't worth your life/well-being".

Still. Good for her. :p

So you actually compare taxing to robbing? Well, okay, but then you can't quite walk on the streets your government paves and cleans.

Media be damned, she'd be a hero to me.
