My family’s ranch is located in Deep East Texas, about 20 miles from the Lousiana border, where the Piney Woods blend into the bayous. The closest large city is Shreveport, on the Lousiana side of the border.
My ears pricked up, then, when I encountered the following story from the Mudville Gazette:
An armed robber brandishing a revolver and some tough talk entered Blalock’s Beauty College demanding money Tuesday afternoon.
He left crying, bleeding and under arrest, after Dianne Mitchell,
her students and employees attacked the suspect, beating him into
submission.
Mitchell tripped the robber as he tried to leave and cried aloud
"get that sucker" as the group of about 20, nearly all women, some
wielding curling irons, bludgeoned him until police arrived.
"You can tell the world don’t mess with the women here," said the
53-year-old who manages the Shreveport beauty school in the 5400 block
of Mansfield Road.
(CHT: Southern Appeal.)
Reminds me of that one guy, what’d he do, try to hijack a van full of tae kwon do students or something? That night, comedian Craig Kilborn said, “But you know what’s more embarrassing than getting beaten up by a bunch of girls?
… yeah, me neither.” 😀
This is too funny. They should have shaved his head while they had him down :))
