'I grabbed the man's weak spot': 74-year-old woman fights back in parking lot robbery
AL.COM ^ | 08/16/2018 | By Carol Robinson,

The 74-year-old woman rescued by Good Samaritans from a robbery and beating in a Midfield store parking lot said she thought her life was about to end.

"I just knew that was it for me,'' said Brenda Stinson. "I just thought I wasn't going to be here no more."

But the feisty Birmingham woman said she wasn't going without a fight.

"I grabbed him between his legs. I grabbed him good between his legs,'' she said. "That's always been my plan because that's a man's weak spot, but I didn't know it was going to come true. I know he's going to be sore."

The incident happened Wednesday morning at the shopping center on Phillips Drive. Stinson said she had bought her groceries at Piggly Wiggly and then gone to next door to buy her medicine at the pharmacy. When she got back to her SUV, the suspect seemingly came out of nowhere.

"I got ready to come to my car and open the door. That's when he grabbed me. He grabbed me so quick,'' she said. "We got to tussling. He was trying to get my money, but I was holding onto my pocket."

Also FTA...

She said her cheek is swollen and she’s sore, but nothing was broken. “I’m OK,’’ she said. “I’m hoping I’m OK.”

She said she hasn’t met the man who helped her, but she hopes that will happen. “I need to try to get in touch with him,’’ she said, “and let him know I appreciate him.’’

Stinson said it’s a day she won’t soon forget. “I was scared because I thought that was the end of my life,’’ she said. “I tell you what, the Lord gave me strength this morning.”

Looks like a Black on Black Crime with a decent Black man, William Daniels, saving the day! Kudos to him for what he did. Hope the assailant has a long stay in the slammer and that the victim turns out to be o.k. long-term.

There’s a grocery chain named HEB which is named after founder, Henry E. Butt. The old joke is HEB was going to buy Piggly Wiggly and rename them Wiggly Butt.

Then there’s the report of HEB merging with Pizza Hut.

Of course there is also the famous combo done by Dolly Parton buying out Big Lots, Piggly Wiggly and Harris-Teeter. It is to be renamed Big Wiggly Teeters.

(I apologize and bless all the pygmies in New Guinea.)

The text does not seem to ratify the headline.

They don’t still have those, do they? You must be about my age to remember green stamps. :-)

I like your tagline. Here’s another trivia question.

Name the only presidential candidate to ever be under TWO separate FBI investigations during her campaign.

Green Stamps are obsolete.

Now the stores attract my wife’s grocery $ by giving a very large discount on gasoline
