Carjackers killed woman
In Texas, a woman -- a mother of five -- was brutally stabbed to death when she fought back during a carjacking in northeast Harris County (Houston). Now, one of the suspects have been arrested, according to khou.com.
The woman was walking into a mobile phone store when a man, attempting to steal her car, grabbed her car keys. It is believed that the woman fought the would-be carjacker because her 4-month-old daughter was still in the car.
The 24-year-old assailant, which authorities say are an illegal immigrant, stabbed the woman several times. He then got into a waiting car driven by an accomplice. The store's security cameras captured the brutal attack.
Not long before the deadly attack, the assailant was caught in security video stealing beer from a convenience store, police said.
The carjackers -- using knives and targeting women -- reportedly began their crime spree at convenience store Tuesday in Northeast Harris County.
A surveillance video shows the passenger of a car getting out of the vehicle and walking into the store. On of the carjackers then approached the driver, waiting in the vehicle.
Using a knife, he forced her out and she hurried inside, uninjured, police said. Then the second carjacker jumped into the vehicle, hopping in the driver's seat. The stolen car then takes off.
The next day, the same men targeted another woman, police said. Again, the carjacked victim was unharmed. The third woman targeted Wednesday night fought back, and was tragically killed.

Ruined robber's day
Robber's day ... is that something akin to St. Patricks Day, or Remembrance Day? It seems only fair that the robber's get their own day...
My bad jokes and similar bad taste aside, this 84-year-old guy really made my day. Sweet!
California -- A teenager may have been fooled by his intended victim's appearance. The would-be robber threatened an 84-year-old Santa Rosa man with a knife Wednesday afternoon, saying he wanted the man's wallet, according to pressdemocrat.com.
The elderly target put his grocery bags down. He then informed the young man he had been threatened by knives and bayonets before -- having fought in three wars as a U.S. Marine. He made it quite clear that the teen would be sorry if he came too close.
When the would-be robber stepped toward him, he proved his point by kicked the young criminal in the groin, according to police.
The teenager, who was estimated to be 15 or 16 years old, was reportedly left doubled over on the sidewalk around 1:15 p.m.

"Twist and shout"
Yes - that's what it is called - the ball squeeze... You, grab and twist - he'll most likely shout (you get the picture)!
And this is by no means a "ladies only" technique. If you've got the balls for it (sorry, bad pun...) also guys have used this attention grabber (another bad pun...).
Anyway, here are a couple of practical applications:
South Africa -- A woman told police he had attacked at about 4:30 p.m. Monday in her field between two villages near the Swaziland border in Mpumalanga.
The 53-year-old villager was busy weeding her field when a man appeared and allegedly ordered her to go undress under a nearby tree.
The woman refused and the man threatened to stone her and then physically dragged her to the tree. The two fell to the ground and struggled, until the woman was able to get on top of him and grab his testicles.
When the man surrendered, she ran for help.
Ohio -- Police in Warren said a man kidnapped a 32-year-old woman at 6:15 p.m. Thursday - then attempted to sexually assault her.
According to police reports, the woman parked toward the rear of the parking lot at the main library to drop off books. She told police her van was left unlocked while she ran inside the library (great idea...).
When she got back into the van, a man placed a knife to the woman's side and forced her to drive to Packard Park. The perpetrator forced the woman to the floor of the van and began cutting off her clothes and undressing himself.
The woman was reportedly cut on her shoulder, arms and leg. She managed to escape the would-be rapist by grabbing his groin and twisting until he ran off.

More quick thinking
I seriously wonder what goes to these guys head? Do they think that flashing a knife, and attempting to rape someone is romance?
Story:
Philippines -- Police said a driver allegedly tried to rape a 27-year-old woman in his taxi on Saturday night in Quezon City (Manila).
The woman told investigators how she boarded the taxi at around 8 p.m. Saturday. Soon, all the passengers, except for her, got off at the Metro Rail Transit station in Kamuning.
"The woman was sitting in the back seat, and the driver asked her to sit beside him in the front," a police spokesman said.
When she did so, the woman said the driver showed a knife, and started to touch her breasts.
The woman said she told the man that she would go with him to a hotel if they could eat first at a fast food diner nearby.
Inside the restaurant, the woman promptly asked the security guard for help. The driver managed to run back to his van and escaped. Police believe that the driver also had victimized other female passengers.
