August 7, 2023Attacking an elderly person is one of the lowest things a human can do. That’s what makes this recent story of an 87-year-old from Brunswick, Maine even better—not only did the woman fight back, but she also outsmarted the evil dirtbag that broke into her home.
Marjorie Perkins was home alone and asleep at the property in Brunswick, Maine at around 2am last Wednesday when she woke to find a teenager standing over her.
‘He said, “I’m going to cut you,”’ Perkins remarked. ‘I thought to myself, “If he’s going to cut, I’m going to kick.” So I jumped into my shoes.’
So, at this point in the story we’ve established that Marjorie is a complete bad@ss.
Marjorie and the intruder began an altercation, during which Marjorie suffered blows to the head. But our girl didn’t quit, and she eventually used a chair and some expertly placed kicks to fight off the dweeb.
ATTA GIRL.
The attacker eventually ran out of steam and went to the kitchen, Perkins said.
‘I kept saying, “You need to get out. You need help,”’ she said.
‘He said he was awfully hungry and hadn’t had anything to eat for quite a while. And I said, “Well, here’s a box of peanut butter and honey crackers. You can have that whole box.” I gave him two containers of Ensure and I gave him two tangerines.’
She then called 911 on her rotary phone while he was tucking into the snack.
‘I dialed as fast as I could,’ she said.
She added that the teen left before the police arrived.
A Brunswick police dog located him a few blocks away and he was taken into custody.
Can we please all chip in to get Marjorie a piece so if this happens again she can properly defend herself? K, thanks.
Hear Marjorie tell her story below. COULD THIS WOMAN BE ANY MORE AWESOME AND ADORABLE?!

Several years ago, I read about a 75 year old widow who woke to find a naked man crawling over the foot of her bed. Her late husband had been an infantry officer in WW2. When he came home, he brought his 1911a1 45 with him. He had taught her how to shoot and it was now under her pillow. She shot the intruder in the head and killed him instantly. Turned out that he was a serial rapist that liked little old ladies. The response from the LEO’S was “thank you, Ma’am. She instantly became one of my hero’s.
I love happy endings like that! It’d be great if the Maine Granny also had a gun, thus preventing that teenage reprobate from getting his three-hots-and-cot for the rest of his life.
