‘As Kipling said: “the female of the species is more dangerous than the male.”

What literary work is that quote from?

It is (with my 'dangerous' corrected to 'deadly') from his poem, titled The Female of the Species.

Update:

The victim, Robert Barnes, is white. The perps are black. No wonder this one's buried in obscure local news media. If the tables were turned, this would be a national news headline for decades.

Sure thing. Since then there's been another arrest. A woman named (surprise) "Kaisha."

I almost hate to say it, but the best thing to happen would be for Mr. Roberts to mercifully pass away. With 40% of his brain gone, he has not hope of being anything other than a vegetable for the rest of his life, and if he lives, the most the filthy beasts that attacked him will be charged with is attempted murder - i.e. out of prison in 5 years. If he dies, there's a chance they'll spend the rest of their lives in prison or even face execution (not sure whether PA is a death penalty state or not).

Momma couldn't just go down to the gas station with her kid and check things out.

No, she rounded up her ghetto posse, including kids and neighbors and the rabid animals beat the man nearly to death.

40% of brain gone, sad.

I hope you read “Bonfire of the Vanities” to see what happened to the poor guy that found himself lost driving in the ghetto.

A great book-—a lousy movie.
