Seemed Like The Thing to Do At The Time...

You know, sometimes, when that little nagging voice in the back of your head talks to you? Joseph in IL sends in a story illustrating what happens when goblins ignore that little voice.

Jogger targeted by teenagers turns out to be Kung Fu expert
VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Two teenagers got more than they bargained for when a Washington state woman they attempted to assault turned out to be an expert in martial arts.

KATU reports that Priscilla Dang was jogging in her Vancouver neighborhood last Friday when she was approached by two teenagers on their bikes.

After kicking the crap out of one of the two offenders, one of them pulled a knife and she backed off. Bystanders called 911, and police apprehended the two goblins-in-training. From the sounds of things, they were lucky the cops got there, because with a weapon in play, there was no longer any need for her to hold herself back...

What's saddening is that the 16 year old was released to his parents - you know, no harm, no foul. That's going to teach a lesson, isn't it? Assault someone, we tell your mom and dad! I'll take a couple of wild guesses here: The 18 year old will plead out to something minor, get a slap on the wrist, and the 16 year old, well... Let's just hope for their sake the shame of getting the crap kicked out of them by a single female will be enough to scare them straight.

Otherwise, I have a feeling we'll be reading about one or both of them in the DGC count down the road...

That is all.

As much (and maybe more) attitude and pure refusal to tolerate such cr*p than physical strength and training.

But those don't hurt....

I dunno. When I was a kid, were I to have gone miscreant like that, I'd have been safer behind bars than released to my folks.
