In
a story out of East Texas that starts out sounding pretty badass, then starts
to sound pretty pitiful the more you delve into it, a 92-year old woman fought
off a burglar by kicking him in the face.
That sounds badass. It is pretty
badass. But she didn’t go all Bruce Lea
on him and throw a high kick when they both squared off. KHOU reports that
the masked man broke into her bedroom and woke her up. She was apparently sleeping and lying down
and he demanded $20. Sounds like meth. She said she didn’t have $20 and didn’t know
where her purse was. He told her to get
her shoes and got a hold of her leg.
That’s when she kicked out and kicked him in the face.
It
didn’t go all death match from there.
She had life alert – the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up button” seniors
wear around their necks, which are actually very, very useful – and hit that,
bring the police. The dude knew the jig
was up, and grabbed the pistol she kept near her bed and ran off with it.
She
apparently forgot about it when he came in.
She’s gonna get another one.
Sounds like a bad idea. She should
probably get a hand-held taser which is less likely to misfire, or mis-aim and
kill the neighbors if someone else breaks in.
And
the robber: you sir lost your man card
in this fiasco. You robbed an old lady. Man-card lost right there. Then you let her kick you in the face, and
fled from life-alert. Man-card never
coming back. Thank goodness she’s
safe. Hopefully she won’t get another
gun. Hopefully the folks at the gun shop
or pawn shop will convince her that she’s better off with something that won’t
kill the neighbors if she isn’t deadly accurate and strong enough to handle the
kick. It’s east Texas, so that’s
doubtful.
