An Arizona grandmother who beat cancer twice was killed after a brutal attack by a career criminal, court papers revealed.
Susan Gehrke, 61, died from her injuries after being punched so hard her dentures were knocked out outside her apartment complex in Tucson last Friday.
Prosecutors in the state claim Dahseir Edward Jefferson, 27, lashed out at Gehrke after Jefferson attacked a friend of hers in what authorities said was a random act.

Is that a misspelling of Dashier?
Maybe phonetic.

Another son of Obeyme.
As if we didn't know...log rap sheet, of course.
Victim, about whom the family said: "It was hard to see her in hospital because she looked 'unrecognizable' following the attack."
Too bad the victim didn't have a gun in her purse to defend her friend and herself.
“”Firearms aren’t for everyone.””

Mace? Taser? Harsh looks & language?
I’d weigh the risks. The left is enabling and encouraging lawlessness and attacks on innocent citizens. And it’s only going to get worse.
But you’re right. I have a long-time friend that has purchased two weapons the first one a 9mm... and the current one a 38 revolver.. because she couldn’t figure out the 9mm “clip & chamber mystery”. This is an “armed” person that heard someone in her house one night, but was too afraid to leave her locked bedroom, much less to pick up the gun and use it. She unloaded the gun and has left it that way ever since. So yeah, some people are afraid of actually using firearms.
There is a book that has been out a long time called “The Gift of Fear” by Gavin deBecker that everyone should read. I read it years ago and it explained a lot about situational awareness and always trusting your first instincts.
It made me sad, since Capitola was my summer vacation spot when I lived in California.

Someone please find out where this putrid piece of excrement is being housed and put a bullet through its head.
If I had the means I’d pay for it.
Hit so hard her dentures were knocked out outside her apartment.
“ And, no. I don’t know how to fix this kind of thinking.”
It can’t be fixed.

Remember right after the 9/11 attacks, the D.C. snipers? Two black pieces of sh*t would drive around in a modified car with one in the trunk shooting at random people. I think they killed at least ten people and left 3 critically wounded.
In other words, this has been happening for quite a long time.
I’m all far the death penalty for guys like Dahseir. In Saudi Arabia years ago, I was having lunch at the Hyatt because it was the only place I could find some American food to eat and this was before Iphones so i was reading a newspaper.
In the newspaper was a small news article about a Saudi guy who got caught peddling drugs. From arrest to trial through his appeal lasted 45 days. On the 45th day, he was executed. This is where we need to be.

I became ‘aware’ of situational awareness decades ago... when there was ongoing muggings going on in Houston... mostly women victims, usually elderly but not always. The advice back then was, when you exit a store to the parking lot... don’t have your nose down, eyes on the keys you’re fumbling for, etc. Since then I have made it a point to exit and first survey the parking lot... then walk towards my car, after making sure there was nobody ‘loitering’ around close by. They don’t trust picking people like me as their victim. I’ve also been armed since I was in my 20’s. It’s amazing how much confidence that weapon and training will provide. Confidence that ‘turns off’ the bad guys looking for an easy mark.
As soon as I saw the headline, I was expecting the name of the perp to be something exactly along the lines of "Dahseir Edward Jefferson". American blacks have been waging a low-level but consistent race war against whites for decades, picking off the vulnerable - e.g. the elderly, women, etc whenever they can. They can't wage an all-out race war like the ethnic cleansing in Zimbabwe yet because they lack the numbers and organization, so it's more like a guerilla war.
Maybe someone can send them “random” dudes down to the silver haired “ICE out of U.S.” protests. Hoisted by their own petard.
> Firearms aren’t for everyone. <
Correct. As Harry Callahan once said, “A man’s got to know his limitations.”
I even read somewhere that a significant percentage of US infantrymen in WW2 hesitated in shooting at an enemy. And that was because of the value our society puts on human life.
The alternative: Police grade pepper spray. Keep it in your hand if you’re in a sketchy situation. Sabre and Fox are good brands. Both are available on Amazon.
Some states have canister size limitations.
You should have covertly lifted your hand to your mouth, as though holding a microphone, and intoned: "Blue Fox calling! Blue Fox calling! Code 5, corner of 1st and Main! Two bucks loitering and badmouthing White people! Request immediate assistance!"

To which I’d add:
Oprah Winfrey once did a show on personal safety. One thing she said always stuck with me. It’s something I’ve since mentioned to all my relatives:
“Your safety comes before their feelings.”
For example, if a guy on a sidewalk looks wrong, go ahead and cross the street. Don’t worry if that offends him.
Or, if a guy in an elevator looks wrong, don’t take that elevator. Don’t worry if that offends him.
