Granny’s Got A Gun
This is one of those horrible news titles that I hate to admit made me laugh:
Woman, 92, dies in shootout with police
I instantly thought of one of my favorite South Park episodes “Grey Dawn” in which old people from the AARP commandeered the city aiming guns at all the citizens. One of the younger guys said, “You’re bluffing” and an old lady immediately blew his head off (ok, so perhaps the humor is a bit lost in print but the scene is hilarious).
I know some people think I’m a terrible person for finding humor in certain people’s tragic deaths but come on, how often do you hear about a 92-year-old dying in combat? And think about how ineffective typical police negotiation dialogue would be with someone that age:
“Don’t make any sudden moves.”
“We understand this is a tough period in your life but things will get better.”
“If you do this, you’re going away for a long time.”
As it turned out, it wasn’t some homicidal old lady just someone who got screwed. So if you thought the title was funny, you’re better off not reading the whole story but if you want to, you can find it here, .


Gotta have weed for your glaucoma at that age and a gun to protect your stash. The “Man” just doesn’t understand. A no-knock warrant pretty much warrants a granny’s wrath.
