A pensioner fought off robbers with her walking stick after seeing them attack a 12-year-old girl. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7086394.stm She deserves a medal. Good for her.
Good for her, its a major surprise she was not arrested for assault too, given the crazy world we live in. I was last time I tried to help someone.
What on earth happened? My congratulations to another little old lady. I hope I would also find the courage if so tested. Who are these kids and where are their parents? I have been a lifelong "leftie" and sadly as I have got older, there are times when I think we should still have corporal and capital punishment. Before anyone asks I can think of several (Hindley, Brady, Jamie Bulger's murderers who would not have troubled my conscience one iota, had it been my job to despatch them!).
