1. She likely could have prevented the attack.

Her first mistake...

"she said he jumped in the back seat"

was not locking her doors. Nuff said. Good thing she was armed!

4. Cut her a break - she had just gotten in the car herself when the

jerk jumped in to the back seat. She might not have had chance to lock doors.

Great move by her with the knife. Hope she got him so good he has to show up at a hospital so the cops can catch this pervert. I applaud this gutsy lady!

5. "Good thing she was armed."

Good on you!

8. Oh Jesus.

I'm sure you could have done much better. No, probably not. Along the same line of reasoning, I'm sure most rape victims could've done something to prevent their attacks as well. Honestly, these types of statements are inane. It's one thing to judge someone while you're safely at home typing on your computer because you actually have the luxury of daydreaming how you would handle the situation, and quite another to be in a real life-threatening situation, completely caught off guard and having to make a split second decision while you're scared out of your mind.

2. Good for her.

Pretty ballsy, stabbing someone in the hand that is around your throat.

I hope she severed some tendons in the bastard's hands. Maybe enough damage so the asswipe can't even jerk off, much less assault any more women.

3. #1 rule, don't mess with a woman who spent a tour in Iraq. The attacker is lucky to be alive. n/t

6. God bless our veterans!

Too bad he got stabbed in the leg, rather than a more sensitive area.

7. If I were her

that "sensitive area" is probably where I would have been aiming for, but if there's a struggle there are no guarantees about accuracy.

Anyway, I'm glad she was able to get away and I'm ecstatic that she has given him a thing or two to think about the next time he tries to pull the same stunt.

Q3JR4.

9. Good on her.

It may be wrong to say it, but I hope she did some permanent damage to him. I have no pity for men who prey on women.

[Common Sense Party]

10. They deserve no pity; rather universal scorn and loathing.

There is no lower creature than a man who attacks, abuses, molests or rapes women or children.

11. had a guy attack an older woman on a scooter,

well, he knocked her off, but she used her cane to beat the shit out of him.

then there was the woman who wouldn't let go of the penis of the guy who tried to rape her. that one was funny.
