"Women defend against purse snatchers"--Had to have been some tpfers!!

Yeeeeeaaah, for women!!! I'm glad they didn't get hurt but I understand the natural instinct to protect what is yours! I had heard about this kind of crime previously so I now put away my purse (into the car) before unloading my groceries from the cart to the car.
 
The shallow obsessing side of me says WOOHOO!

but.....

the cop side of me just cringes. I know we all love our purses, but they most certainly aren't worth getting hurt or killed over. People get killed over much less than a purse these days.

Women teach suspects a very hard lesson


MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. - It looks like a couple of suburban St. Louis purse snatchers picked the wrong women to attack. The victims fought back — with a snow shovel. Police in Maryland Heights released details of the Sunday incident outside a Schnucks grocery store. The women were unloading groceries when the thieves tried to steal two purses from their cart.
One of the women grabbed a shovel from the suspects' pickup and smacked one of the men upside the head. The other woman jumped into the cab and attacked the other suspect, then grabbed the keys so he couldn't drive away.
Police tracked the men to a hotel. The man struck with the shovel required staples to close the gash in his head.
Both are jailed and charged with robbery.

Way to Go!!!
Crime does not pay!:tup::tup::tup:
