I don't know why they keep mentioning John Wayne in this piece, and I don't know why the formatting of this text is freaking out all by itself.
'The Duke would be so proud of me': Gun-toting granny holds fleeing carjacker at gunpoint... by copying hero John Wayne
Last updated at 6:38 PM on 25th January 2012
A Florida carjacker was likely expecting the Daytona Beach neighborhood to be fast asleep when he was running away from a his vehicle at 3am Tuesday morning.
He certainly was not expecting a John Wayne-loving 64-year-old woman to thwart his plan with a pistol and an attitude.
Karen Granville, who lives in Daytona Beach, was up late watching The Beverly Hills Housewives 'confess' on Watch What Happens Live, a Bravo show, and playing with her cat when she heard a helicopter overhead.
Volusia County Sheriff's department was on the hunt for Roderick Willis, 22, who was suspected of driving a stolen vehicle. He had ditched the car on Ms Granville’s street and ran through her backyard before trying to escape by hopping her fence.
As an avid fan of famed Western movie actor John Wayne, Ms Granville had seen shoot outs on television and had a feeling that this was her time to shine.
She grabbed her .38 Special revolver from her nightstand and ran to the backyard.
‘I said “Don’t you move, I will shoot you! Don’t move a muscle!”’ she told the suspect.

EDIT - Weird, I tried to edit this three times, but the quotes and endquotes coding keeps entering itself, breaking the text body into three parts. Strange.
And when I go in to edit it, the fonts and text formatting is all big and different, but when I post it, it looks normal.
I guess bombers must have scannned it.
