Woman beats up would-be rapist
There have been a few cases of women being attacked either on the CTA in broad daylight or shortly after getting off. I wish we could read more stories like this. What I find unsettling is that when he was arrested, he had the woman's driver's license. It's a good thing he was caught.
Story can be found here Quote:

The only thing he didn't get is the ice pick he was carrying shoved up his ass or other places. Chances are, had she not fought back, she would be raped then killed. She saved her own life and provided some whoop-ass in the process. Nice work!

Yeah I wish we could hear more of these stories, then maybe some of these guys might think a little differently before grabbing someone. The only problem is most people believe they will get hurt more if they fight back, A lot of times they will get away, but other times.....

Would have been extremely nice if he had. Rapists are the scum that actual scum won't even touch because they're too disgusting. There should be an exception in the Bill of Rights about rapists not recieving protection from cruel and unusual punishment. And I know this is me being a hypocrite and it doesn't make that much sense, but rapists are the only people that deserve to be raped. They should have to experience the pain, violation, and terror they cause others.

This is one thing every woman should learn. Be it street fighting or a self defense class. Having PRACTICED hitting someone will give her the courage and confidence to do it when she needs to. I've heard too many times of women who were frozen because they didn't think they could fight the attacker off and were afraid of getting hurt worse BY resisting. Learning to fight is empowering. I plan to put my daughter in a self defense class or martial arts class eventually. It may actually be something I do fairly soon. Empowering kids to learn to fight against this kind of thing is worth so much. As soon as she can tell the difference between fighting other kids over stupid stuff and defending herself - that's when she needs the class.

Like Mage said, rapists are among the lowest of our species. I hope this guy makes a lot of new "friends" in jail.

The best story I've read about a rapist getting his due was when some scumbag got his balls bitten off when he tried to force a woman into giving him oral sex. It's just too bad the bastard didn't bleed to death.

Good for her for refusing to go into that alley. Fighting back on the street saved her from being raped if not from being killed. I too agree with a couple of posters here that rape should be punished as severely/more severely than murder. But then, I think that the criminal justice system in the US is so screwed up when it comes to enforcement.
Do you realize that 1/4 of the people in prison on this planet are in US prisons? Most of that from silly drug enforcement laws... get the drug possession busts out of there and extend the death row to include rapists. |

on a professional note- the balls are not the best target- some guys just get really pissed off and then start breaking people- the EYES- those are a great target- never yet seen anyone want to fight or do anything else to a victim after that- yes its gross, but being raped is far worse.......

Good for her. Its so often we hear about women being raped or killed, that we start to think it reality. It's always good to know that there are those that beat the odds, and if this could inspire jsut one other women to take self-defense, so much the better

If a girl is going to get attacked tell her to fight cheap. Aim for the genitals or punch them in the throat. A friend of mine's gf got attacked now she carries around pepper spray. Might not be legal but if it saves you life it doesn't matter.
