Grandma beats up Airport Security Guards.

Grandma beats up Airport Security Guards.

Charges were dropped yesterday against Ruth "Grammy" Gordon, an 83 year old wheelchair -bound grandmother, who was originally charged with assault and battery, and assault with a deadly weapon, because of an altercation she had last week with six airport security guards, that left all six hospitalized.

"Justice has been served", said the 95 -pound mother of three and grandmother of six, as she sat in her wheel chair, aided in her breathing by an oxygen bottle. "Now I'm going to sue every fool in the federal government for ignorance, stupidity, and just plain general incompetence. I'm an American, and I won't be treated like this."

The problem began last month as Gordon was attempting to board an airplane. "These guys are supposed to be some kind of professionals," she said, "but they're dumber than rocks. Here they were letting guys who looked just like terrorists walk through without searching them, and then pull me aside and tell me they're going to search me? I don't think so."

According to one witness, Bud Cort of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, one guard, "Who weighed about 300 pounds, looked like he was drunk, and had his shirt out, told this women she couldn't board the plane unless they search her. He was really rude. That's when the trouble started."

Videotapes showed that Gordon ran the guard sown with her motorized wheelchair, then sat on top of the screaming man while spinning her chair in circles. "Doofus was so fat he couldn't get up", said Gordon with a giggle.

One guard who attempted to pull Gordon 's wheelchair off of the screaming man from behind was hit over the head with an oxygen bottle and knocked unconscious. A third guard, who approached Gordon from the front, was also lefty dazed on the floor. Witnesses said she as crackling, "Put your hands on an old lady, will you?" as she bashed both guards. The tape also showed a fourth guard attempting to grab Gordon's wheelchair. Gordon removed a knitting needle from her purse and stabbed him in his left buttock. "What a wimp," she told reporters. He started screaming and grabbing his butt and running like a puppy that someone kicked.

"It was amazing," said another witness, a Scott Ryan. The whole crowed just stood there cheering and clapping. I mean, she was whupping butt."

A fifth guard that attempted to grab Gordon had the seat of his pants set with a cigarette lighter then had escaped detection. "He just went whoosh across the concourse, screaming and slapping at all these flames flying out of his rear," said Ryan.

A sixth guard did finally manage to get Gordon in a body hug.. "I think that was the wrong thing to do,"said another witness, who declined to be identified. "She just grabbed him by his greasy hair with one hand and cracked him across the jaw with her skinny fist. And down and out he went."

After all this, Gordon's chair was still on top of the first guard.

The tapes clearly showed her leaning over and yelling, "Apologize to me, you fat sumbitc*, or when I'm, done with you you'll just be a greasy spot on the floor!"

As the crowed roared, the guard cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Uncle! I won't do it again!"

Finally, Gordon surrendered without further incident, and was taken to jail and released on her own recognizance."We didn't have any choice," said an unidentified officer of the court. "Over 200 people showed up to support her. I think if we had demanded bail, there would have been a riot."

Over 20 lawyers offered to defend her for free. However, realizing the precariousness of the case, Gordon was not charged with anything. "I doubt there's a jury in the whole country that would have found her guilty of anything," said one of the lawyers.

"I'm flying again tomorrow," Gordon told reporters. "And I suggest no one at the airport so much as look at me wrong."
