Marching Band Student Beats Up 2 Muggers!
Written by: Kim Sawyer
In lieu of everything that is happening in the world (e.g. the flat-lined economy, the unemployment rate, the Swine flu, etc.), the following story brought a smile to my face. I hope it does to yours too.
In case you haven’t heard this story, a 17-year-old marching band student beat up two guys who tried to mug her while she was walking to school. It seems the two guys came up behind the girl, grabbed her coat and demanded money. Oooooweee, what did they do that for?! This girl went straight “Trinity” on these muggers (if any of our readers are fans of the movie The Matrix, you understand what I’m talking about when I say Trinity)! She punched one of the men in the nose, kicked the other in the groin AND beat both of them with her large baton before she ran away! What?!! You Go Girl! This is what I call JUSTICE!!!!!
Deputies searched near the high school where this happened – looking for a man who was holding his bloodied nose and the other limping. This is classic! Final score: student: 2, muggers: 0!

Good for her! I think we all need to fight back more. I also think all young girls should be taught self defense in school as they are more vulnerable because of their sex and size. (Generally speaking…) Id like to see some of my tax dollars go towards that! When I was in junior high a boy kept bothering me on the bus and one day he came up to me and made a lewd comment so I punched him in the nose. I'm 5'1' and he was at least a foot taller than me so I gained a lot of respect that day from everybody, including him. We ended up being friends. I talk to my granddaughters all the time about when it's appropriate to defend yourself and how to do it. Maybe if we started teaching this in school there would be less domestic violence.

Hey Miss Elaine,
I couldn't agree with you more! I love it that she was able to defend herself instead of becoming a victim. This story made my day when I read it.
