Don't mess with Little Old Ladies--A warning!

===============================================
By Bob Wallace

Charges were dropped yesterday against Ruth 'Grammy' Gordon,
an 83-year-old wheelchair-bound grandmother, who was originally
charged with assault and battery, and assault with a deadly weapon,
because of an altercation she had last week with six airport security
guards, that left all six hospitalised.

'Justice has been served', said the 95-pound mother of three and
grandmother of six, as she sat in her wheelchair, aided in her
breathing by an oxygen bottle. 'Now I'm going to sue every fool in
the federal government for ignorance, stupidity, and just plain
 general incompetence.
 I'm an American, and I won't be treated like this.'

The problem began last month as Gordon was attempting to board
an airplane. 'These guys are supposed to be some kind of
professionals', she said, 'but they're dumber than rocks. Here they
were letting guys who looked just like terrorists walk through without
searching them, and then they pull me aside and tell me they're
going to search me? I don't think so.'

According to one witness, Bud Cort of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, one
guard, 'who weighed about 300 pounds, looked like he was drunk,
and had his shirt out, told this woman she couldn't board the plane
unless they searched her. He was really rude.
That's when the trouble started.'

Videotapes showed that Gordon ran the guard down with her
motorized wheelchair, then sat on top of the screaming man while
spinning her chair in circles. 'Doofus was so fat he couldn't get up',
said Gordon with a giggle.

One guard who attempted to pull Gordon's wheelchair off of the
screaming man from behind was hit over the head with an oxygen
 bottle and knocked unconscious. A third guard, who approached
Gordon from the front, was also left dazed on the floor. Witnesses
said she was cackling, 'Put your hands on an old lady, will you?' as
she bashed both guards. The tape also showed a fourth guard
attempting to grab Gordon's wheelchair. Gordon removed a knitting
needle from her purse and stabbed him in his left buttock.'
What a wimp, 'she told reporters.' He started screaming and
grabbing his butt and running like a puppy that someone kicked.'

'It was amazing', said another witness, a Scott Ryan. 'The whole
crowd just stood there cheering and clapping.
I mean, she was whupping butt.'

A fifth guard that attempted to grab Gordon had the seat of his pants
 set on fire with a cigarette lighter than had escaped detection.'
He just went whoosh across the concourse, screaming and slapping
at all these flames flying out of his rear, 'said Ryan.

A sixth guard did finally manage to get Gordon in a body hug.
'I think that was the wrong thing to do, 'said another witness, who
declined to be identified.' She just grabbed him by his greasy hair
 with one hand and cracked him across the jaw with her skinny fist.
 And down and out he went.'

After all this, Gordon's chair was still sitting on top of the first guard.

The tapes clearly showed her leaning over and yelling, 'Apologize
to me, you fat sumbitch, or when I'm done with you you'll just be a
greasy spot on the floor!'

As the crowd roared, the guard cried, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Uncle!
I won't do it again!'

Finally, Gordon surrendered without further incident, and was taken
 to jail and released on her own recognizance.' We didn't have any
choice, 'said an unidentified officer of the court.' Over 200 people
showed up to support her. I think if we had demanded bail, there
would have been a riot.'

Over 20 lawyers offered to defend her for free. However, realizing
the precariousness of the case, Gordon was not charged with
anything. 'I doubt there's a jury in the whole country that would have
found her guilty of anything, 'said one of the lawyers.

'I'm flying again tomorrow', Gordon told reporters. 'And I suggest
no one at the airport so much as look at me wrong.'
