First these teens get their get their "tough" behinds kicked by one man - then being charged by police. Nothing better than a bunch of losers really losing out!
Kgw.com reports about four Seattle teenagers police say were active members of a local gang. The goons reportedly picked the wrong man to harass on a Metro bus late Friday night.
Police say when one of the teens attempted to take the man's glasses, he pulled a knife and fought back - swinging at his attackers in self defense. When the melee was over, four of the teens had cuts, including some with superficial cuts to their buttocks, and one had a dislocated shoulder. The man was not hurt.

I wonder...
Inrich.com reports about a 31-year-old former Sheriff's deputy and US Marine.
While out on bond, he broke into his wife's house October 30, 2006 and assaulted her at gunpoint while their infant daughter was there.
Authorities say the man, armed and wearing a mask, attempted to subdue his wife with duct tape. She fought back and broke free, at which point the gun fired and the man was struck in the right bicep.
Maybe, just maybe, this should indicate that being a man - and even having more than average training and preparation - proves no guarantee that a woman can not outsmart or outfight you...

Safe at work?
Safe at work? You mean, apart from statistics showing that more than 13,000 women are raped on the job each year in the United States?
...And then you have intimidation, harassment, neglect, bullying, assaults, threats, robberies, theft, murder...
Story:
Myfoxcleveland.com reports about a worker at University Hospitals who has been jailed.
University Circle Police say the male employee trapped another female employee inside an elevator at the hospital. According to a police report, the man forced the woman inside the elevator, picked her up from behind and started shaking her.
Police say each time the elevator stopped on a floor, the man would stop, but no one else could get on the elevator because a cart was blocking the entrance. Each time the elevator door closed, the man would resume assaulting the woman.
Eventually the woman was able to get out of the elevator. She reported the incident to police a few days later."Obviously it's a concern, but University Circle is one of the safest places in the region, it's one of the safest places in Cleveland," says a spokesperson with University Circle Incorporated.

A 'chest-nut'
Metro.co.uk reports about a would-be shoplifter who squirted her breast milk at a store detective when he tried to stop her stealing goods.
The woman allegedly exposed her breasts and fired away after being confronted at a Co-op store.
The attack in Leicester, UK is thought to be the latest in a trend in which thieves try to get their DNA on security officers so they can accuse them of sexual attacks if caught.
A security company representative said: 'It started off with people picking their noses until they bleed and then accusing staff of assault.'

Street-wise
Here's a great example of being street-wise, using your awareness and being prepared.
It also clearly shows how a perpetrator often times will ask an intended victim questions before striking.
I must add I'm full of praise for this young woman!
Gilbert, Arizona -- As a 21-year-old female walked home around 12:40 a.m. on Thursday, she became suspicious when she saw a truck parked with its door open and no one visible inside, azcentral.com reports.
The woman said she removed her knife from her pocket "just in case." It was then that a 22-year-old suspect ran at the young woman and first asked her for a cigarette and then to
borrow her cellphone.
The woman said she didn't answer him either time and kept walking, but had flipped open the
knife's blade. The intended victim said she carries her Winchester pocketknife everywhere, "because you just never know."
The suspect then grabbed her purse and started pulling it and her with it, the woman said. "He was just tugging me and the purse, and I just started slashing at him," she said. She's not sure how many times she slashed the attacker, but said she wasn't going to stop until he quit.
"I must have got him good because he finally left," the woman said, adding that she knew she was fighting for her life and her unborn child. The young woman said she is three months pregnant.
She said the men "messed with the wrong girl" and credited growing up in Chicago for being tough.

Another fire
Florida -- Deputies say a purse snatching was foiled on Monday when the 59-year-old victim fought back. The crime occurred in front of a supermarket in Englewood.
Reportedly, two late teen males tried to grab the woman's purse. The intended victim struggled with them and as they tried to pull her purse free she started yelling "Fire!" This spooked the "would-be robbers" and they took off, according to deputies.

Another tough cookie
I really wonder what goes through the head of people like this...
The answer is most probably: Very little.
As far as I know it takes a brain to have a thought process. Consequently, one may argue that folks like these thugs here have sh**-for-brains - or belong to a league of zombies we refer to as air-heads.
As for the woman here - now, this is a real fighter! I would have her on my team any day.
Story:
Arizona -- A 78-year-old woman is lucky to be alive after surviving a vicious attack. Police say she was attacked by two men -- one of them using a baseball bat.
"I'm very mean when I want to be," the Tucson woman said. The Tucson woman said the attacked occurred when she open the door of her home and to two young
men, one with a baseball bat. "He hit me three times over the head," she said.
The woman fell against the wall and screamed, "you get the hell out of my house, you're not coming in this house."
She struggled to slam the door, while she says one of the boys kept taking swings at her head. The boys eventually ran.

Nude dude in Duluth
Don't mess with angry seniors... Not all of them are easy push-overs!
Story:
Minnesota - A man who allegedly tried to burglarize a home lost his clothes in a scuffle with the 69-year-old homeowner and then tried to streak away before he was arrested, News.yahoo.com reports.
The home owner said the man made the mistake of grabbing his wife. "As soon as he grabbed my wife, I had him in the kitchen wrestling him to the ground in a headlock and arm-lock," he said.
First, he ripped the man's shirt off. Then, "his head was down over the railing, and in today's world, pants are worn fairly loose. I pulled his pants, and his pants and underpants and shoes came completely off. He was completely nude."
When police asked if he could identify the suspect, he said: "Oh, yeah. I believe he's the only guy running nude in Duluth."

Iron man
Sweet - hats off to this senior citizen!
Strange how these "tough guys" are not so tough after all when someone takes their "toys" away and doesn't want to play their game.
Story:
74-year-old Bruce Ferraro had no idea someone was following him as he walked out of a department store at the South Shore Mall in New York on Saturday and got into his car, according to News.yahoo.com.
The mugger demanded Ferraro hand over his wallet, calling the Bay Shore resident an "old man" and threatening to hit him with the tire iron, police said.
Instead, Ferraro grabbed the bar and the two fought, until the septuagenarian managed to snatch away the tire iron, police said.
Without the weapon, the 32-year-old suspect ran to his car and attempted to drive away, police said. But the vehicle stalled, and the man got out of the car and fled on foot. Ferraro later helped police identify the suspect.

He "saw him off"
Yes, I know, poor joke - sorry about that :-)
At least there's a bit of 'eye-kido' in this story...
Anyways, this kid did a great job! With all these witnesses, I do take it for granted that it's real - or at least close to what actually happened.
Story:
Florida -- While waiting for wire cables to be delivered to his home Saturday morning, the longtime student of Hapkido (a Korean martial art) fought off a neighbor who barged into his family's Pompano Beach home with a chain-saw.
The 17-year-old high school senior said his friends had just picked up a compressor for a robotics high school competition. He said goodbye and went back inside the house to wait for the cables he would also need, leaving the front door open.
Moments later, the teenager said, the 6-foot, 300-pound neighbor walked in with a chain saw belonging to the teenager's 56-year-old father. Screaming and spewing obscenities, the neighbor tried, in vain, to rev up the tool.

A simple lesson
I bet these Texas parents are more than happy they had their 9-year-old daughter Misty watch a self-defense lesson they saw on TV.
She remembered the lesson well, and a simple kick to the groin may possibly have saved her from being kidnapped, molested or even killed.
The young girl was approached by a man Tuesday at a playground in Allen, Dallas. She fought back hard when the perpetrator grabbed her - kicking, punching, screaming and running away.
The brave girl ran to a friend's house a few blocks away. "I ran. I ran as fast as I could. When I got to her house my heart was pounding so dang hard," the girl said.
You go, girl!
