Sword heroine

Swords don't kill people. People kill people... with swords? This is a great story. The sad thing is I am surprised this 80-year-old widow has not been charged with something.

Police have praised the bravery of an 80-year-old widow who used a ceremonial sword which she kept on display in her home to fend off two burglars. The raiders, both aged in their late teens, were forced to flee empty-handed after Jean Freke, who suffers from angina, wrestled with one of them before threatening the other with the sword which she grabbed off the wall.

Go Gran'ma Go! I hereby award her the 14th Century Landwarrior award for going medieval on their sorry punk butts.
