SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -

Ramona Taylor Kamate is one brave woman who says, she's tired of being a victim.

The 56-year-old grandmother and great grandmother from Clinton Township has a permit to carry a gun, and when she was attacked on a city bus, she used it.

It's a bus route Kamate is quite familiar with, she's also grown accustomed to seeing some of the same people who take the bus with her.

She got off the bus, followed the robber, fired 11 shots, but is not sure she hit him.

"Somebody said he had a gun, and when he turned and faced me he went down, and when he went down I just pulled my 9 out and started shooting him,"

LOL not that there's anything wrong with that.

Under Feinswein’s plan, the first 10 shots were legal and number 11 was just gratuitous violence.

Good for her.

As an aside unrelated to her right to self-defense, I note she’s a great-grandmother at 56. Some short generations there.

"He was saying 'you smell good, looks like you have money' and I said no I don't," Kamate said.
It went downhill from there. "He grabbed my book bag and I grabbed it back and we started tussling, I bit him on his left hand.

There's a Grade Z horror movie out called "Rabid Grannies" - maybe the guy is in BIG trouble. :-)

When he struck me in my head we started fighting," she said.
According to the antis, the fight started when she hit back.

Granny was using a gun that Feinstein wants to outlaw.

I waded through the comments, where 90% gave Grannie a GoodOnYa and a few nit-picked the legalities.

The comment I liked best, and will adopt the distinction in future posts elsewhere, is this one:
“Unfortunately for Ms. Kamate she was not on a bus with strong Black men. She was on a bus with black males.

There is a difference. Black males are only good for standing around and talking tough, while doing nothing. A Black man would have jump to this woman’s aid and the thief would have not gotten away with her hard earned money.

Remember folks, black male = do nothing lay-about sperm donor. Black Man = respectable working man father and protector.”

"At first, I felt remorse because I have grandchildren. If my grandchildren are out here doing what these punks are doing, they need to get the same thing."

Money quote.
That sounds like my grandmother. Strong woman, she had no problem telling my dad, when I misbehaved, it was time to swat me, and if he didn't then she would. That kind of growing up made me what I am.
Forget mama grizzlies, worry about grandma t-rexes!

It’s unbelievable that nobody would help a woman being attacked, I would of felt great shame if I had let that transpire around me, I assumed most men would be the same way, I guess not, wow.

“It’s sad you have all those men on the bus”

There are fewer and fewer men anymore. It’s a shame.
