At last, good news from the city of brotherly anti-texting love.

A thug decides to rob a pregnant woman at a train station. His bounty was a broken leg, a hospital trip and getting arrested. Yeah!

Det. Robert Daly said: "She really did a number on his leg" "I would never want to get kicked by this girl."

[angrycrystalball says] it will be revealed by attorneys for the plaintiff (ie mugger) that the defendant (ie pregnant chick) has trained in martial arts, and attorneys for the plaintiff will name the martial arts school as a defendant in the upcoming civil suit. [/angrycrystalball]

i wonder what will happen when she either miscarries or gives birth to a mutant, thanks to being forearmed in the abdomen?

This personal injury lawyer would break his other leg if he darkened the doorway of my office.

Kudos to her for fighting back.

WTF was she thinking for risking her life (or her babies) for a freaking laptop.

Hey, it's hard to rationalize what's truly at stake when you are assaulted. In the heat of the moment I can totally understand where she was coming from. Endorphins are a hell of a drug.

They should have told the crook that there wasn't any treatment available for his leg instead of running up 15grand in medical bill. I bet if you let the leg "heal" on its own accord the guy wouldn't be able to walk normally for the rest of his life.

The inmates in california actually sued the state over not getting medical treatment. Here you have law abiding citizens picking up the bills for criminals medical treatment so it ends up costing me 180$ a month for insurance.

I would like to point out that people who interfere with kids generally have a rough time in prison. I would hope somebody that would assault a pregnant lady would get similar treatment from their co inhabitants.

Since when is 3 months pregnant "Noticibly pregnant" most women are just beginning to show and it can still be confused with a tummy roll

When career criminal Vaughn Matthews decided to snatch a woman’s purse and run from a stopped El train last Wednesday, he perhaps thought Lindsay O’Brien – who is nearly three months’ pregnant – would be an easy target. A visibly pregnant O’Brien told CBS that Matthews used his forearm to hit her in the abdomen.

Guess all women are not all less capable then all men after all. Huh, I wonder why that's still the assumption so many men work off of. Seems kind of ... dumb. That came off preachy I meant it to be sarcastic.

I have nothing but respect for (and fear of) a woman that knows Martial Arts. See, I've recently started learning Taekwon Doe, and one of the Instructor's Assistants is a 5'5", 120lb 50yo woman. It took very little effort for her to take me, a 6'4" 285lb guy, down.
