Don't Mess With Granny

DON'T MESS WITH GRANNY


Here's a quote from a government employee who witnessed a recent interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester in a Vancouver Skytrain station. There were protesters on the subway platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of Canada ..

I politely declined taking one.

An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely
declined.
 
The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, 'Lady, don't you care about the children of Iraq ?'

 

The old woman looked up at her and said, 'Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband, an RCMP officer, in a violent shootout in Alberta , and now I've lost a grandson in Afghanistan .......
All three died so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country.  If you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it.'
