The Rambo Granny of Melbourne, Australia Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down - - and shot off their testicles. The old lady spent a week hunting those men down -- and when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way, said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp. Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant's desk and told him as calm as could be: 'Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God.' Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and his testicles when outraged Ava opened fire with a 9-mm pistol in the hotel room where he and former prison cell mate Stanley Thomas, 29, were holed up. The wrinkled avenger also blew Thomas' testicles to kingdom come, but doctors managed to save his mangled penis, police said. 'The one guy, Thomas, didn't lose his manhood, but the doctor I talked to said he won't be using it the way he used to,' Detective Delp told reporters 'Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they're just happy to be alive after what they've been through.' The Rambo Granny swung into action August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was car jacked and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding creeps in a section of town bordering on skid row. 'When I saw the look on my Debbie's face that night in the hospital, I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself 'cause I figured the Law would go easy on them,' recalled the retired library worker. 'And I wasn't scared of them, either-- because I've got me a gun and I've been shooting' all my life. And I wasn't dumb enough to turn it in when the law changed about owning one. ' So, using a police artist's sketch of the suspects and Debbie's description of the sickos', tough-as-nails Ava spent seven days prowling the wino-infested neighborhood where the crime took place till she spotted the ill fated rapists entering their flophouse hotel. I knew it was them the minute I saw 'em, but I shot a picture of 'em anyway and took it back to Debbie and she said sure as hell, it was them, the oldster recalled. So I went back to that hotel and found their room and knocked on the door and the minute the big one, , opened the door, I shot 'em right square between the legs, right where it would really hurt 'em most, you know Then I went in and shot the other one as he backed up pleading to me to spare him. Then I went down to the police station and turned myself in. Now, baffled lawmen are trying to figure out exactly how to deal with the vigilante granny. What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it is difficult to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison, Det. Delp said, especially when 3 million people in the city want to nominate her for Mayor. Linda

Its great isnt it Jean I think they should give her a medal at that age dont think I could have done it Linda lol

Linda brilliant;;; We could do with a few more like that,,,, hehe vigilante grannys love it ;;; babs

Fabulous !!

Hi,that is brilliant! A very brave lady!Suz.

nudge for the afternoon and evening shift Linda

Would she fancy living in UK do you think,))?all expenses paid,

A few more incidents like this and then maybe the 'low-life' would think twice. Where can we sign her up?

Why on earth is this woman being made out to be some kind of hero? What the rapist did was wrong and he should be punished. But who says that two wrongs make a right?

So why does that make it okay?

Budgie its true Deborah They had done it before Linda

Its not so much right and wrong but her courage at 81 in the way she --TACKLE-D --it--Tackle-d being the operative word. ))).

Im sure Deborah if it had been your grandaughter you may have done the same Linda

This is great,I agree Linda,What a lady:-) Thats two low lifes that wont be in action now. Roxanne x

Deborah,you do have a point,I have to say,but......... ....... if you think about how the system works these two would probably be out and about attacking women again, I dont condone violence,but a part of me has to think Good for her!!

The Lady said she had done wrong but the law would go easy on them Think she has a good case with 3 million backing her Linda

I don't have a granddaughter so its difficult for me to say exactly how I would react. I do however feel quite certain that I wouldn't 'hunt' two human beings in order to potentially kill them. What they did was wrong but who am I to take the law in to my own hands?

She never meant to kill them otherwise she would have shot them in the heart. But they will go to jail so dont really need the bits she shot Linda

Well,If it was my child,grandaughter I dont know what I would do, I probably wouldent because I would be afraid of what would happen,Im a coward, in that respect,but I think the lady was very brave. Most of the time the law is an ass!
