Reply to: The old lady that stopped the robbery

She deserves to go to jail for assault. I think the robber should sue.

It's a disgrace the police aren't keeping our streets safe from these dangerous old ladies.

I hope she's sent down for a long long time and the blaggers are duly compensated for post traumatic stress disorder due to being beaten up in public by an old lady.

Also an honourable mention to the bloke who filmed it, for watching from a safe distance until Doris had downed one of them and beaten the rest off, before rushing in to share in the glory.

Paddy Power was running a live book on the outcome.

if you look carefully, you can see the lips of one robber
he is saying
'fck off mum, what are you doing here? this is my blag today'

Credit must go to the thieves too, who obviously had no wish to cause injury and did the honourable thing in beating a hasty retreat when faced with an old woman with a handbag. A rare honour amongst thieves?

They deserve our thanks and I wish that they would come forward so that we may thank them personally.

The shop staff were probably following a rehearsed protocol as demanded by the insurer.

WHS.

Plus the Sergeant at the local 'nick' will probably accuse her of being in on the robbery.

What cracks me up is that when she is hitting the robbers, the jewellers are pulling down the shutters. Leaving the poor old lady to fight on her own. Shouldn't the jeweller have helped the old lady once he saw she was involved? I suppose it all happened in the heat of the moment.

If the jeweller has a sense of decency he'll give her a smart watch or a high value gift voucher.

Thank goodness the old dear wasn't hurt.

I think the robbers were lucky they weren't hurt. She wasn't mucking about. She didn't exactly sprint over there but she was doing her damnedest.

Pity one of them didn't get run down by that white van

Englands finest woman today.

What an example.

The state should give her double pension for life and send her on a nice holiday to see her son in the USA.

AtW will be along soon to tell us that this wouldn't have happened if the old woman had been carrying an AK47

[MarillionFan]

won't be long before she is in court on an assault charge
