At a Wal-Mart parking lot in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, a 19-year-old woman reported to police a man tried to rape her.
The woman stated that when she got out of her car about 1:20 a.m., a male with black clothes, black ski mask, black gloves and black shoes grabbed her waist with one hand and her mouth with the other and forced her back into the car.
The woman told police that the man pulled a knife and attempted to cut off her shirt and rip her panties, and that he then blew some kind of smoke into her mouth.
While he was trying to rip off her clothes, she stated, she managed to grab a crescent wrench from underneath the car seat and hit him in the head repeatedly with it until he gave up and ran off.

"Don't hit me anymore!"
I have probably talked about this on a couple of occasions, simply because I find it kind of odd.
Women protecting their children can give any man a run for his money.
And yet, when it comes to protect "only" themselves, many find it hard to show the same sort of aggression and "killer instinct".
Anyhow, this story is a great example of the first point above.
Story:
Taiwanese mum Guo Ping Xi, 34, fought the intruder, though he was armed, as she wanted to protect her daughter who was sleeping. Yes, he was armed with a gun and a knife. But that didn't stop Madam Guo from fighting him.
When the 34-year-old intruder allegedly put the knife on her neck, instead of caving in, she used all her might to resist him, reported Apple Daily Taiwan.
She punched him and kicked him till he was pushed into a corner.
Soon after, she had the intruder reduced to a bloodied heap on the floor loudly begging: 'Please don't hit me anymore.'
Her husband called the police and Yang was arrested.
Despite being of average build - Madam Guo is just 1.60m tall and weighs 50kg - she found the strength to take on the much larger man. The suspect weighs 75kg and is 1.65m tall.

Wrestled knife away
A 15-year-old girl stabbed and killed a man with his own knife last week in northern Moscow after he purportedly tried to rape her, investigators said.
Around 9 p.m. on a deserted platform at a commuter train station, the girl was apparently approached by a man who produced a knife. The man threatened to kill the girl if she screamed.
"It's my birthday, so you are going to make me happy," the man said, according to police sources.
The girl, who is a gymnast, kicked the man and ran, but she tripped moments later and was caught. The man snatched the girl's phone, and a scuffle ensued during which the girl wrestled the knife from the man and stabbed him in the back.

He could handle it
Well, I guess this guy should thank his older twin brothers for all the times he had to fight them both :-)
And it shows that it is vital in functional self-defense training to train also against more than one opponent.
Story:
Florida -- Getting carjacked, mugged or beaten up by total strangers at 11:00 in the morning outside a government building in Jacksonville isn't something most people worry about.
But it happened to a mortgage broker outside the Supervisor of Elections building, where his brother works.
"One guy got in the passenger side of the vehicle. He choked me in my truck. And the other one was trying to take my keys," the intended victim said.
He says he's got twin older brothers, and he's never fought them one on one. So when two came in for the attack at once, he says he could handle it.

False reports
This is such a cruel, egotistical, terrible thing to do.
First of all it shows a monumental lack of respect towards all those that are actual victims of sexual crimes.
Then it gives unneeded ammunition to those (few, but very vocal) who argue that "a large number of rape reports are false."
It also stir up fear, uncertainty and anger amongst other residents in the area of the bogus alert. Finally, it puts unnecessary loads of work on the police.
And for what? Because her boyfriend had forgotten their anniversary... I'm at loss for words.
I can understand that a young girl or a teen can make up a story to achieve something, like gaining sympathy, or covering up the fact that she's been out late. But from what I understand this is an adult. Again, I don't know what to say.
Story:
A woman who told police she was grabbed and dragged into the woods while walking in Lake Oswego Tuesday evening, sparking a widespread manhunt, actually made the whole story up, according to police who said she confessed Friday.
Her story changed after ongoing questioning from police who became suspicious when she refused to cooperate with investigators.
The woman allegedly filed a report of kidnapping and attempted rape because her boyfriend had forgotten their anniversary, police said.

On familiar grounds
This man was in the right place at the right time, which means another man was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The culprit was only out of jail for a couple of hours and must've missed it; police say the first thing he did after getting out of jail was steal from a store.
One of the store clerks went outside to confront him about stealing cigarettes. He turned around and punched her, and would've hit her again if not for a good Samaritan who knows something about self defense.
James Sjostrom immediately ran outside to help. The thief tried to punch him, but missed. In no time, Sjostrom had him down.
"I just grabbed him and threw him on the ground and sat on him and waited for the police to arrive. I was trained in the marines as a close combat instructor, so I'm pretty familiar with takedown techniques."

Mean bag
Florida --A 14-year-old girl told police that she used her book bag to hit and then escape from a man trying to pull her into his vehicle during an attempted abduction in Daytona Beach.
The girl said she was walking behind a Checker's restaurant when the man grabbed her, police said.
Police said the teen began beating her alleged abductor with her book bag and began hysterically screaming for help.

Surprised by the numbers
Surveys that showed almost 20 percent of female cadets at The Citadel said they had been sexually assaulted since enrolling surprised some of the military school's female grads.
The college this week released surveys taken last spring in which almost 20 percent of the female cadets and 4 percent of male cadets said they were sexually assaulted since enrolling. The news made headlines nationwide but the effect on recruiting women cadets is unclear.
Nancy Mace, the college's first female graduate, said the numbers were about on par with other colleges, but The Citadel is held to a higher standard "and that's the surprise here."

A real mystery
It's this sentence that gets me kind of curious: "Police are trying to figure out what prompted a man to attack a young woman early this morning (...)".
Does that mean they are contemplating if the guy was just trying to be friendly or something? Maybe they still haven't thought about sexual assault? Apart from robbery, what other options are there?
Story:
Police are trying to figure out what prompted a man to attack a young woman early this morning at her campus area apartment building.
The 20-year-old woman didn't see the man and safely entered her apartment building but, as she went up the stairs to her apartment, the man ran up behind her and punched her in the face several times.
The woman fought off her attacker, tearing his shirt, and he fled empty-handed.

He was "framed"
Noises from her neighbor's yard woke the 74-year old woman up just before 2 a.m. Sunday in Albuquerque. She told police she started to call 911 when she saw a man in her neighbor's backyard.
Before she could speak with the operator, the man was inside her house and had hit her over the head with a heavy object.
He then dragged her through a puddle of her own blood to another room, where he attempted to rape her. The man pushed the woman against a wall, according to the complaint.
A dispatched officer hollering his presence at the woman's home startled the man, and the woman took the moment to grab a picture frame from the wall and smash it over his head, according to the complaint.

Violent students
A teacher friend of mine says it is no wonder that a lot of his colleagues get into trouble.
In his opinion many of them - most of them female teachers unforunately - has no natural authority at all, and as such little or no control over the teaching environment.
Story:
Australia -- Teachers have been karate-kicked, punched, headbutted, sprayed with acid (!) and attacked with weapons in a disturbing range of assaults by violent students in NSW public schools.
There are more than 60 attacks on teachers in the past six months alone - including several in their own homes.
The growing threat to teacher safety has led to State Government plans for the most dangerous students to be sent home for tuition in addition to the option of placement in behaviour schools.
The crackdown on anti-teacher violence follows a 16-year-old student from Randwick Boys High School appearing in Bidura Children's Court for allegedly choking a female teacher on June 19.

Women can!
Raise your hand if you've ever heard a statement along these lines:"A woman is not strong enough to defend herself against a man!"
You've heard that statement more than once? Have I? Over and over again, almost like a mantra.
And the saddest part, I hear it often from women too!
Ok, here's a reality check for you: Girls and women defend themselves against male aggressors with voice, trickery, ingenuity and physical ways all the time!
Can any woman defend against any man? Of course not. Just as little as any man can defend himself in any situation.
The point is that 'ordinary' women fight back against violence in many shapes and forms - and they very often succeed!
The key to here is the will or motivation (call it guts if you like) to survive.
Fighting against someone who's survival instinct has clicked in is darned hard - no matter what age or gender that person has!
Want a proof? How about 2100? This series: "I Hear You Say Woman Can't Defend Themselves" is just that - two thousand, one hundred instances of women who fought back.
Read more about it here and gain new insight!

She's a knock-out
I'm tempted to repeat a rather common phrase: Only in America...
Where else could someone sue for being "attacked" by a store mannequin, you know the type that are used for displaying clothes - yep the man-made, lifeless ones?
Weird as this story may be, it shows something that you should be aware of. I'm referring to the "shopping-like psychosis" that some - mostly women - enter when they are working on their black belts in shopping.
When I did loss prevention work it was quite scary to see how people could literally try to walk over or through you to get to the items they had set their hungry eyes on. Their only concern was to "shop till you drop", and consequently they got tunnel vision and no awareness what so ever about the surroundings.
Did pick-pockets and thieves have a field-day during the big sales? It was like stealing candy from a baby - credit cards, codes, cash and open bags just floating around. Not to mention all the kids that where running all over the place while mommy was doing a *little* shopping...
The best part: These people couldn't understand how someone could steal from them (oh no, not ME!). Some also got very aggressive when you pointed out to them that their wallet was lying unattended or their precious child was about to exit into the streets.
Story:
LA -- A woman is suing the J.C. Penney Co. after an alleged run-in with a store mannequin that she says left her with a cracked tooth, a bloodied head and recurring shoulder pain.
Diana Newton, 51, of Westminster sued the Texas-based retailer last month in Orange County Superior Court, claiming she was cracked in the head by a legless female dummy at its Westminster Mall store.
Newton said the incident happened nearly a year ago in the women's department, as she was shopping for a blouse. The only one in her size was on the mannequin. As a salesclerk was removing the garment, the dummy's arm flew off and struck Newton's head, according to her lawsuit.

It was odd
Here's a great example of not trusting your instincts. Luckily the woman managed to get out of the dangerous situation unharmed.
Think about it: Why would someone park close to your car in a garage, when there are lots of vacant slots?
And asking for light, direction, a cigarette etc. is very often a part of what we call an "interview". The fact that the perpetrator "seemed pleasant", should also be considered a danger sign - it's a set up, for crying out loud!
Story:
A Maitland office worker's quick thinking helped her foil a kidnapping Wednesday morning even though she had been choked unconscious and dragged into her abductor's car.
"She's darn lucky to be alive," a Maitland police officer said.
The woman had parked in a multistory garage and was reading a newspaper about 7:20 a.m. when a young man asked her to light his cigarette, police said.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, told detectives she thought it was odd that the man had parked close to her car with so many other vacant spaces, but that he seemed pleasant.

Using MySpace
Finally (?) something worthwhile coming out of the site other than showing off your eight-hundred-and-twenty-two "friends"...
Story:
New Hampshire -- A 14-year-old girl was walking at a Manchester park over the weekend when she was attacked by nine girls, the report said. One of the girls grabbed her by the hair, turned her and punched her in the face. The attackers fled the scene with the teenager's cell phone and purse.
A friend of the girl said that one of her attackers may have a MySpace profile, so the mother went online with her daughter in hopes of tracking down the girls.
"As soon as we plugged it in one girl, all the girls showed up as best friends," the mother said. "They had pictures of themselves -- everything. They put it right out there."
The woman printed out the photos and names of the girls and contacted the police.

Desperate action
This incident shows a couple of things, apart from the outright stupidity and mindlessness of some middle-aged men.
First it shows that it is quite possible to defend against a strangle-hold with one of your own, especially if you know how, and/or uses some item to apply the hold with.
It also proves (again) the amount of strength, ingenuity and willpower that a person can apply when the survival instinct kicks in.
Brave girl!
Story:
New Hampshire -- "When people find you, you will be decomposing."
That was the threat that the 17-year-old girl told police spurred her into desperate action; she decided she had to strangle her assailant before he strangled her.
As he choked her in the front seat of his pickup truck on a back road in Auburn, she managed to grab an orange cord and wrap it around his neck, tightening it until the 45-year-old Manchester man gasped for air and she heard a gurgling sound.
According to court records, after she released the cord the man sliced his wrist with a box cutter and then began begging the girl not to go to police.

He had enough
There are some really strange individuals out there, that's for sure.
Story:
According to a report, 42-year-old James T. Hill of Shreveport, was walking when he was approached by two men.
But what struck Hill as most noteworthy, the report indicated, were the men's accessories: several handguns for the first robber, and one nickel-plated gun held by the second.
According to reports, Hill said he was approached by the men, who demanded his wallet at gunpoint. As he left after being robbed, the robbers ran after him, and he apparently had enough, the report said.
Hill told investigators he "commenced a martial arts kick" and knocked the gun out of one of the robbers' hands and started wrestling with his attackers.
According to the report, an unidentified man then left a nearby house, armed with a shotgun and threatened to shoot Hill. Hill fled on foot and went to a nearby convenience store to purchase a beer, reports continued, but the store was closed.

'Bats and bells'
Don't these guys ever learn never to mess with an angry mum?
And I mean, why use a dumbbell? I suppose the dumb part of the word says it all.
A. Go to the gym - pick up a dumbbell
B. Go to pick a fight
C. Get chased away by the mother
D. Go back to the gym
What will he use next time? A set? Larger dumbbells? Maybe the whole rack? No wait, go get the whole gym! That should carry some weight...
Story:
California -- A man armed with a dumbbell attempted to assault a Greenfield man in his home, according to Sheriff's deputies. He was beaten away by a woman with a baseball bat, deputies reported.
The incident allegedly took place late Wednesday afternoon in Greenfield.

And I mean, why use a dumbbell? I suppose the dumb part of the word says it all.
A. Go to the gym - pick up a dumbbell
B. Go to pick a fight
C. Get chased away by the mother
D. Go back to the gym
What will he use next time? A set? Larger dumbbells? Maybe the whole rack? No wait, go get the whole gym! That should carry some weight...
