    Default Woman Thumps Thief

    I just caught a bit of it on fox news before I left for work this morning. It seems a 52 year old woman was coming home and found a 24 year old man running out her back door with her backpack full of stuff. She is a black belt in karate and a marathon runner. I guess she ran him down. Thumped him. Got her stuff back. And then ran after him until he could run no more. She flagged down a motorist and he called the cops. He was arrested. You gotta love that.
    If you find yourself in a fair fight; your tactics suck.

    Interesting news, but not a Straight Forward topic. Thanks for sharing though.

    Nah, you just want to make it look like you do.

    Can you see this guy down at the jail - a woman not only chased him down, but overpowered him and held him until officers arrived. He's gonna live hard in jail - just sayin'

    I think it's great she ran him to ground. I will bet after he gets out, he will never want to mess with a backpacker again.
