From CBS2 in Chicago, we have this ...

"I chased him to the next block," said Treyes-Gibson. "He produced what I thought was a gun, but it was a knife, so I backed off a bit. He jumped in an SUV and peeled out."

So the young man who came to her aid must have seen something of the attacker, eh? I wonder if he provided a description of the perp?

"Black on Moonbat crime is logical."

And...somehow comforting.

Never take a purse to a knife fight.

You should have seen the purse my (late) Grandmother used to carry.

It was big enough to sue as a shield, and was heavy enough that the perp would have trouble running away with it!

Probably one of her constituents.

“Braun, 59, was standing at her front door late Friday when an assailant came out of the bushes...”

Bushes fault.

"Why no description of the perp?"

I'll give you 3 guesses...

[Migraine]

So I guess this means she’s not a liberal any more?

I have a tagline that addresses her plight...

[Krankor]

If it’s in the neighborhood bordering U of C, you at least know the color of the perp.

[Sam Ketcham]

Sorry she was hurt. Probably a Dem in Daly’s machine and against the 2nd Amendment

[JillValentine]

An invisible one! ;-)

[Migraine]

So I guess this means she’s not a liberal any more?

I think I'll add that tagline

...NOW...

“What are the odds that Jesse will get involved in this? I’m not holding my breath.”

Jesse is already involved.... He’s the one who snatched the purse.

A couple of years ago, there was a spate of attacks on U of C students by “local youts”. The university administrators and police could never understand why.

I'm sorry she was hurt, and don't mean to be disrespectful, but "treated and released" doesn't sound like a serious injury.

About 5 years ago, my wife was in several hours of reconstructive surgery on a shattered wrist, complete with pins and braces.

Aside from Mostly-Fraud’s corruption (hoarding a large stash of her elderly mother’s money while allowing Medicaid to pay her mother’s health bills, among other things), one of her aides, Susan Lindauer, has been charged with spying for Saddam Hussein. Moseley-Braun, when questioned about Lindauer, denied even remembering her, an obvious lie. She would remember her own aide. She could have at least said, “I know her but I don’t know anything about the spying.” But she was more interested in covering her own ass than in condemning a spy for Saddam.

Did you hear the story about a lady who carried a knife with her for protection? She got shot.
