You simply must read the rest of this story and see the picture of the lady. I love this town!

Good for her! But the picture was more WWF China than the hoped for Zena lookalike..

I would far prefer that she had given him a few more inches of the point.

Getting his guts sewn back in would have immobilized him for an arrest.

The crook no doubt thought about the lady’s resolve to use the sword when considering his next move. I hope she would have used the weapon, because failure to act with purpose in situations like this can be very dangerous, if a victim produces a weapon without the resolve to use it.

It’s too bad the bad guy doesn’t have a big hole in his gut!

“I looked back and saw the knife and had a panic attack.” . . . grabbed her 25-inch Turkish scimitar sword. She held it up to his stomach and asked, “You still want my purse?” . . . Moody said she and the robber stood facing each for a few moments, blades in hand, before she asked him a second time if he still wanted her purse. “This time I poked him in the belly with the tip of the sword. I didn't blink.”

I think Ms. Moody isn't quite clear on the definition of "panic attack". But I don't think I'd care to argue with her about that (or anything else) in person :-)

This is an outrage!

She should have split from crotch to Adam's apple.

Probably just a dull prop sword but good for her!

You have to love how pathetic this boy is: he rode away on his bicycle? It’s too bad she didn’t turn around and relieve him of his hand that had the knife by just cutting it off. That would have changed his WHOLE DAY.
