Steven Dover, Moron of the Day: Burglar Gets Ass Kicked by Woman Armed with Railroad Spike

• And why is that Anon? I don't recall ever hearing from anyone that their weapon of choice was railroad spike. "So bubba, whatcha got there?" "ahhhh geesh skeeter, you ain't ever seen one of these 'fore?" "nopers" "Well skeeter, this har is my trusty railraod spike, can take a 10 pointer out at five feet. I don't go a huntin' with nuthin' else." Well that is just jim dandy bubba. Where can I get me one of those awesonly deadly weapons." " Well skeeter, you just have to follow the tracks and maybe you'll get lucky."

• dead men can't sue-or should I say dead burglars/rapists/criminals

• Rail Road spikes should be illegal to own.

• @Sharon, me too. (We need you around here.) =) And, me too!

• Someone who breaks into my house through window, leaves via gurney through front door. Sue me if you can/want. I would rather take my chance and stand before 12 of my peers then be carried to my grave by 6 of them.

• @dooflotchie, damn straight. I don't think the young lady has anything to worry about.

• "You do realize she will get sued by the guy breaking into her house." There are only two things I like about living in South Carolina: 1. Pretty tasty tap water. 2. It's a "castle doctrine" state, meaning if some dipshit is dumb enough to break in my house when I'm home I have a legal right to splatter his guts all over every point of the compass with my 12-gauge pump-action Mossberg and not have to worry about being, arrested, charged with a crime or sued in any court, civil or criminal. I guess being in the South DOES have a fringe benefit or two, yes?

• I doubt that will happen, Nice. Occasionally people are successfully sued by people injured in the midst of criminal acts, just like there are occasionally people who win huge settlements after suing companies over something really stupid. But they're exceptionally rare; they just make big headlines when they happen. I got a paycheck that says no judge or jury in rural Missouri would ever find this woman negligent of anything.

• I have one. picked it up in memorial of my dad. he worked as a track fixer during WW2. think I;ll make sure it is in reach of me at all times now. especially when my man is at work.

• Nice, i agree. I didn't comment on it such as you because last time i made a comment like that, i got nailed all over. I don't know where you are, but here in MA, she could be charged and arrested for attempted murder! Because she picked up a deadly weapon. but if she had grabbed a ..... fork, spoon or a shoe, she couldn't be charged or sued. Then again, she might have gotten killed. I think this bodily harm lawsuits from crimincals is for the birds!!! it a way to screw the homeowner/renter further! HE broke in her place. She protected her stuff. he sues her and gets more of her stuff (money) I think i would have beat him about the head a couple more times (no over kill) and claim he just came at me over and over again. I was protecting myself. Then i would go to court and claim self defense (which it is) and then go home and the world would be without the garbage.

• You do realize she will get sued by the guy breaking into her house. Because she caused bodily harm to him. That would be a very sad ending for this story but it happens all the time. But she did what was needed to stop an intruder.

• THIS MAKES MY DAY!!! ROTFLMAO!!!! THIS WOMAN HAS COJONES MUY GRANDE (por supuesto, a dentro, naturál)!!!! Oh, that was delicious. See, you don't have to have a gun, if you don't want to. SHE was the weapon. SHE improvised and took her own safety seriously. Most excellent, most, most excellent. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

• I am with you cw, double even triple tap with the railroad spike!

• she should have kept hitting him until he stopped moving-

• Hey Pete, I read that the police "followed a trail of blood" to this guys apt. But you say he was still there when cops got there? I miss read something? I agree CT, but i already have my 3 railroad ties! I got them from the tracks near the cotton Mill my entire family worked at for decades and is now closed. pick them up on visit home a few years ago. 12 inches long and very heavy. Maybe 3-5 lbs each! Want me to send you one???? LOL Didnt know what i was going to do with them Figured pack them away for memories. Now i know i can use them as a weapon!!!!

• NICE! We're not gonna take it - anymore!!! You go girl.

• Note to self - get railroad spike.

• That's awesome. Serves him right!

• Good for her. Karma works!
