Eight years ago, one woman was confronted by a hit man who had been hired by her husband to murder her. She killed the hit man with her bare hands. Now, on the heels of her husband's release from prison, she is encouraging others who find themselves in similar situations to fight for their lives.
Susan Walters of Portland, Oregon, was known as Susan Kuhnhausen back in 2006 when her then-husband Michael Kuhnhausen sent a hit man to murder her. Susan bravely fought back and wound up killing the hit man with her bare hands.
"His last words on this earth were 'you're strong,'" recalled Susan Walters to KPTV.
Walters says when she came home from her shift as an ER nurse one night, she found the man, Edward Haffey, waiting inside her home.
"Not having any clue why he was in my home, I knew, I could feel his intent to kill me," said Walters.
For 14 minutes, Walters put up an incredible fight against Haffey. She grabbed a hammer and used the back end of it to fight him off. At one point, she offered to call an ambulance if he relented, but he continued to fight back, so Walters had no choice but to kill him.
"I got the hammer and started hitting him with the hammer several times,” recalled Walters in 2006. “My father, the carpenter, always taught me a hammer could be used for self defense - the claw end would work the best.”
It was eventually uncovered that Michael Kuhnhausen had paid Haffey $50,000 to murder Walters. Kuhnhausen was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2007, but now, only eight years after the ordeal, the man who tried so desperately to kill his wife may walk out of jail a free man in just a few months. Walters says that although she is frightened by the idea of her former husband getting out of prison, she is ready to fight back if need be.
"Although I've forgiven my ex-husband for what he became, and what he did to me and all those who he loved, I cannot forget what he's capable of," said Walters, while offering advice to others in similar situations. "If you feel like, 'wow I don't feel like I can do that.' You can. You're stronger than you know.”
Walters is reportedly planning to approach the parole board to ensure that should he be released this year, she will remain protected.
Some days you’re the hammer, some days you’re the nail.
I guess she couldn’t find a piano to drop on him?
Our Visiting Angel (age 60), could pick up an engine block and toss it 50’ ;-)

LOL!
Referring to the claw of the hammer as “the back end of it” is pretty typically as “journalism” goes these days.
I had a gang in New York city try to kill me about 34 years ago because I dared talk to one of their girls, they chased me for about an hour in my car 4am in the morning, sometimes reaching speeds of 100 mph (of course no cops pulled me over) and a few times almost cornered me in back streets shooting out my rear window, and just by sheer luck I managed to get away by driving on a sidewalk and in front of a tractor trailer. I tell people who are against guns: Try having your life threatened. Your opinion on guns will change in a nano-second. That is the only thing I thought about the entire time: “I wish I had a gun I wish I had a gun I wish I had a gun.” Liberals have no freakin’ idea what they are talking about if they never had their life threatened and nobody is there to help. Your mouth goes completely dry, your legs shake like you are going into a seizure, and you basically prepare yourself for what could be the end. The feeling of helplessness is unreal and this kind of stuff happens every single day. Gun control doesn’t save lives: It does the exact opposite - It gets people killed. Can you believe in New York city they don’t even allow Auxiliary cops to carry? And this was the result a few years ago:

I’d hit it.
I remember when one would call that an out right lie !!!
You don’t understand how the word “or” works, do you?
She bashed him on the head a bunch of times before with a hammer. She used a club to get him to the point of weakness where she could do that.
Can we then say someone shoots someone and wounds them, then choked them to finish them off, and say only “she killed him with her bare hands”?
C’mon.
Don’t forget...Michael Moore would have made a movie out of this...
“Hammered 9-11”
“Bowling for Hammers”
“An Inconvenient Hammer” (Ohhhh, wait, that’s and Al Gore-ism)
You get the idea...
