There are some people that you just don’t mess with, and this Granny is one of those people. When a man came up to her and forcefully took her purse and started to walk off, she gave chase and ended up tackling the guy to the ground and getting her purse back, but it came at a cost.
Our Grandma bada$$ ended up breaking a few ribs in the process, which likely required a good deal of pain and time to recover.
Still, she made the decision to act as she did, and was successful in retrieving her belongings in the end. It’s a tough call to do what she did, because any number of negative outcomes can happen as a result. If the bad guy were armed, she could have been shot. If the bad guy fought with all his strength, she could have been severely injured. If the bad guy had a lurking buddy who jumped in to help, now you have an elderly woman against two attackers.
It’s a personal choice, but one that is serious and needs to be thought out ahead of time. What would you do if someone stole something from your person and ran off? Would you give chase? Or would you stay put and call police?
