Woman robbed outside Super Lake

Just read this on Facebook. She was outside SL and a young guy grabbed her purse. She hung on and was thrown to the ground where she sustained a shoulder injury. I don’t know whether the thug got the purse or not. This happened at night. She may need surgery on the affected shoulder.

Might I also add, before everyone leaps in to say, “Why didn’t she just give it up?” It’s a reflex. In broad daylight a friend grabbed my purse that was on my shoulder and without even thinking I swung around and clobbered him with it. It happened before I even had a chance to reason about what I should do. These guys go for the element of surprise.

If this is the same report I read either on Facebook or the other forum (I don't remember) she broke her shoulder as she fell, but the thug did NOT get her purse.

Yes.

I’m wondering if she was actually parked by SL and going to or coming from that nightclub by the real estate company. Not sure if if he got the facts straight or not but either this woman or another also got mugged by that nightclub a few months ago. Scary stuff.

I'll keep that in mind at the next get-together.

Yeah, keep your mitts off the purse. . You’ve been warned.

Funny how freedom conjoins with dead bodies. ...and not funny ha ha. The other kind. If executions worked as a deterrent, there'd be no executions (seems obvious to me). Any state that kills it's own citizens can call itself neither enlightened nor civilized. In fact (remember those things) states with the death penalty tend to have a higher crime rate than those without. There is also a direct correlation between religiosity and crime rate; the more, the higher (I wish I could say I'm surprised by that, but I'm not). If ever there was evidence to give lie to the claim that we're the result of a benevolent deity with time on it's hands, this is it. So is comic-book superhero movies, but that's a rant for another day.

...and while I'm here, Happy New Year everyone.

:)! yes indeed!
