Punch in the nose and a kick in the groin. It sounds as if she hardly needed her baton. I hope they find the perps.

Batons should have micro stamping on them so they could identify 17 year old terrorists!

Now we will be waiting for some gay bastard ACLUer to sue her for a hate crime for using a dangerous weapon, her baton, instead allowing herself to be mugged and maybe raped.

Punched one in the nose, kicked the other in the balls, and then beat them both with a stick.

Sounds to me like this young lady didn't actually need the baton, but I'm sure she was happy to have an additional means of mayhem.

Actually, in the spirit of microstamping the casings when a cartridge is fired, the perps should now have microstamping on their foreheads and fore.... well, all over the place!

She should have finished them off, then dragged them inside her band shell, so that she is not exposed to a civil suit at a later date.

I hope my sons marry women like this one, and I pray I’ve done my job well and raised my daughter to respond as she did.

Averted Victims are always guilty of the high crime of defending themselves.

They will undoubtedly throw the book at her, once they find the right book.

The lesson from this story, perhaps, is that anyone who still has their kids stuck in the government schools should make their child take up twirling!
