They caught him! He's been arrested ... for the 12th time!! This ugly fella has been in and out and out and in and is such a repeat offender he could serve as the mascot for the revolving door of justice. He's a former psychiatric patient, homeless with a lengthy record dating back to 1981. WHY was he loose on the street and able to attack this poor woman? Because our courts have NO spine! NO teeth! It's the 'awww, poor you' defense all over again. Oh my when will we demand much more from our judges, our courts, our legislators to KEEP these rabid animals off of our streets? His name is John Michael Petry. Let's keep on eye on this one and New Yorkers? WRITE to your representatives and stay on top of this one. Thank God the woman had a pen at the ready.

Because his lawyer wanted it that way, and didn't care what he had done.
I’m sure this has been said, but I have to say it anyway.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Thank God she is OK.
I hadn’t seen it said! LOL
Brilliant!
I just seemed so obvious to me. But I am now making a mental note to always have a pen with me. I never thought of that as a defense weapon. I have heard to use your keys placing one between each finger, but never thought of using a pen. This woman was extremely brave and quick thinking.
... and brave! Courageous! He was grabbing at her under her blouse! God only knows what he would have done to her if she hadn’t have reacted so quickly and boldly. If she had just slapped at him, he probably would have begun to beat her into submission.
Yes, I always hold my keys like a weapon at the ready if I’m alone at night in the parking lot. But a pen! Smart thinking cookie. Good for her!
That has "Democrat" written all over it.
