Stay Classy, MAholes...

A friend e-mailed me this story. Unreal...

‘She-Hulk’ collars alleged Boston train creep exposing himself
A Boston woman riding a train turned into “She-Hulk” on Thursday when she single-handedly grabbed a creep by his collar and held him until police arrived. She says the man was exposing himself to her and touching himself, Boston Herald reported.

The 24-year-old woman, who asked not to be identified, said she noticed a man staring at her, but she “zoned out, listening to music,” only to look up finding the man hovering over her.
Kudos to her for doing something about it - she grabbed ahold of the guy and didn't let go until the train stopped and she could alert the authorities.  That's a pretty gutsy move, considering that this is Massachusetts, after all, where "we discourage self-help" according to our illustrious Attorney General. This young woman is lucky she's not being charged with kidnapping for grabbing the guy or a hate crime for hindering a Pervert-American.

It's heartening to know that not everyone is a sheep. I wonder if this young lady has thought about what could have happened - he could have pulled a knife, or simply started swinging - or if this was just a gut reaction. In any case, I'd like to buy her a beer for stepping up and getting one  scumbag off the streets.


Of course, this is Massachusetts, so he'll be back on the train exposing himself by nightfall...

That is all.

If only she had been carrying some mace/pepper spray. A shot of that on the exposed Johnson would have made the perp reluctant to try that again for a good long time.

At least she wasn't in central Ohio. You can get in trouble for attacking the mayor.

(Mayor of a suburb of Columbus got arrested - twice - for public indecency 20-some years ago.)

I want to see the perp's lawyer explain in court how his client is a fine, upstanding citizen. I want to see if he can keep a straight face.

Heheheh, I read that article, too. Apparently the dude claimed being inside the packed train and being jostled by the masses made his pants fall down. Riiiiiiiight...

At least she didn't grab him like the Chinese guy last week.
