81-Year-Old Woman Chases Down Purse Snatchers

I have so much respect for people who face difficult situations and decide to be proactive and just take things into their own hands, especially when they put themselves at risk for the greater good. I'm impressed enough when young, fit people do so, but when people who are elderly or not in the best position to be risking their health to stand up for themselves is awesome. Old guys who chase away violent offenders or knock out criminals or whatever are my favorite people on the planet.

And this lady has just found herself in the same Pantheon of Badasses (it's a hall of fame I have in my head, don't worry about it). Wanna mess with this woman? She's got a few thousand pounds of steel coming your way, jack.

Check out the story below, and if anyone wants to start a comic book version of this lady, let's get this thing started.
