72-year-old Subdues Attacker

72-year-old Dawn Fraser confronted two teenage home intruders at her daughter’s home in Noosaville, Australia. One attacked her, thinking a little old lady wouldn’t resist much. What he didn’t realize was that Frazer has always been a tough lady.
"Out came this guy who then grabbed me around the throat and said 'I will kill you', and with that I grabbed him around the ear and hair and kneed him in the groin," she told Channel Seven television late Monday.

"I was threatened by the way he spoke to me and I'd never been spoken to like what he called me ... I think I lost it. I have got a titanium knee so it must have hurt him," she said.

The two youths were referred to child services. Fraser {wiki} won eight Olympic medals for swimming in 1956, 1960, and 1964, including four gold medals for Australia. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gy8dawMRBGvB2bk1VtWL7HjObs9w

I heard about this yesterday while streaming Aussie radio station Triple J and was just stoked to hear that dear old Dawn can still kick some arse! Good for you, Dawn!

Home-invasion robberies (and many other violent crimes) skyrocketed in Australia when all firearms were banned. Home-invasion gangs (overwhelmingly Asian and Middle Eastern immigrants) know that only their fellow criminals have firearms. This woman was lucky. Her attackers were weak and young. Also, not all 72yo women are former Olympic athletes (nor lesbians with the bodies and attitudes of 72yo men).

Dawn Fraser has always had a no-nonsense attitude and a wonderful sense of humour, which is why she's a much-loved champion in the Olympics and since retiring from swimming.

Neil @3, on the other hand, speaks from a position of ignorance with regard to crime and gun control in Australia. I'm astonished and saddened that his trolling also stooped to racism, sexism and homophobia.
