I love this story. Five thugs in hoodies burst into a jewelry store for a heist. They weren’t expecting to meet granny and her gun. 😛 Worthless cowards left three friends behind as they hauled ass out of there.

Too bad they weren’t caught. Cops are still looking.

I hope they are also charged with parking in a handicapped space. Assholes. 😉

Wanna bet this comes up on _World’s Dumbest…_?

Watching the video, I noticed the first robber had trouble opening the door to go inside. He was pulling instead of pushing. 😃

Not the smartest fruit on the vine.

Beware of old people with guns; they’ve taken all the shit in a lifetime they’re going to.
