If she was 20 years younger she may have given him a Harvey wallbanger.

She stabbed that hand many times over the next hour. . . . When police arrived, they found the bloody suspect passed out on the front porch with dozens of stab wounds to his lower arms and hands. . . .The suspect, 46-Year-Old Robert Horsley, is in jail facing one count of first-degree burglary . . . . . . and one count of first-class stupidity. Why do you stand there for an hour letting someone stab you in the hand over and over again until you pass out?
To: Rameumptom
An hour?!?! You got to admire his endurance.
So if the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result each time, it leaves me to wonder exactly how many times did he stick his hand through the window thinking "this time I wont get stabbed with a screwdriver".

What a frightening and very long hour that must have been!
the dumba*s just kept trying...
is in jail facing one count of first-degree burglary.
He should be charged a separate count for each stab wound he had - that showed how many attempts he made...

Nice work, Grandma! I hope her neighbors take up a collection and get her a more efficient screwdriver (though she probably would decline it). Something tells me she’s handled worse situations than this middle-aged caulk-for-brains.
You just can’t make this stuff up.

OK, DLR, I know it wasn’t a gun but.........Hurray for this woman. She deserves an honorary Armed Citizens Ping.

"What do you tell your friends in jail about where did you get those wounds, asks a neighbor, Gerri Lynn Grindle. "I don't know that he's going to tell anybody he got them from a little old lady confined to a wheel chair." Best thought of the night.
The theater of the mind.....
