Great minds, etc., but I was thinking more along this line, courtesy eBay (dummy):
But this is probably in the UK, so she would have been hung out to dry - if she had been caught.
BTW, I don't buy this "she was wrong as well" line of apologia - it smacks of Dhimmitude. You're dealing with animals here and they only respond to the 2x4 effect. As others have said though, she was lucky those iceholes didn't get a chance to retaliate.
I don’t buy that either. He was committing assault and battery by the laws in the U.S. Don’t know about the UK, they might have to defer to a Sharia ruling on that. Even a dummy grenade would be a hoot. A stink bomb type would be good too.
She was lucky but she picked her timing well. They were parked and had probably cut the motor. Bicycles are very maneuverable in the city vs a van too.
