“Gunspoint” (Greenpoint), Houston: Black Man Shot by Two Black Carjackers in Their 20s Says They Tried to Get into His Car Through the Open Windows, Screaming “Give it Up!”; Several Commenters Believe He was Buying Crack; Others Say Decent People Have to Drive Through That Area to Get Home

One reader posted a viral version of the generation-old gun-toting granny myth:

An elderly lady did her shopping and upon return found 4 males in her car. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at them at the top of her lungs that she "knows how to use it and will shoot if required.... so get out of MY car!"The 4 men didn't wait around for a second invitation. They got out and ran like mad, where upon the lady proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the drivers seat.Small problem: Her key wouldn't fit the ignition. Her car was identical and parked four or five spaces further down.She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station. The sergeant that she told the story to nearly tore himself in two with laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter where 4 pale white males were reporting a carjacking by a mad, elderly, white woman...... No charges were filed.
